What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is not just for aging or crisis management — it’s a proactive, physician-guided strategy to restore hormonal balance and improve overall well-being for both men and women.

At Delight Medical & Wellness Center, we take a comprehensive approach to optimize your body’s natural rhythms and energy, helping you feel like yourself again — only better.

Starting in your 30s or 40s, hormone production begins to decline — sometimes subtly, sometimes more drastically. This decline can result in a wide range of symptoms that are often misattributed to aging or stress.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

  • Constant fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep
  • Brain fog or trouble concentrating
  • Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
  • Low libido or changes in sexual function
  • Weight gain despite diet and exercise
  • Sleep problems or night sweats
  • Muscle loss, poor recovery, or increased soreness
  • Hair thinning, dry skin, or brittle nails
  • Hot flashes or menopause-related symptoms

These are not just signs of aging. They are often signals that your hormones are out of balance.

What Hormones Are Involved?

We evaluate and address the key hormones that impact energy, metabolism, sexual health, mental function, and longevity:

  • Testosterone – Critical for energy, focus, muscle strength, mood, and libido (for both men and women)
  • Estrogen & Progesterone – Vital for female wellness, mood, metabolism, bone health, and cognition
  • Thyroid Hormones (T3, T4, TSH) – Crucial for metabolism, weight regulation, and energy
  • DHEA & Cortisol – Important for adrenal function, stress resilience, and immune balance
  • HCG – Helps stimulate natural testosterone production and support fertility
  • NAD+ & Peptides – May be used in advanced protocols to support cellular health and recovery

Note: We do NOT prescribe HGH, as we focus on responsible hormone care for long-term wellness — not bodybuilding.

Our Clinical Approach

Dr. Kerendian has been guiding patients toward hormonal health since 2005 with a protocol that is:

  • Root-cause focused – We don’t just treat lab numbers; we evaluate symptoms, lifestyle, and comprehensive labs.
  • Personalized – Each treatment plan is tailored to your body, goals, and medical history.
  • Safe & Monitored – All therapies are prescribed with clinical follow-up, lab tracking, and attention to long-term health markers.

Many people are suffering with undiagnosed or silent hormone imbalances. Even if your past labs said “normal,” you may still benefit from expert-guided optimization.

We offer multiple delivery options including:

  • Pellets
  • Injections
  • Creams
  • Oral therapies (when appropriate)

Common Misconceptions — Clarified

  • “Hormones are just for menopausal women or aging men.”
    FALSE. Hormonal imbalances can happen in your 30s, 40s, and beyond — and they affect people of all genders.
  • “HRT causes cancer.”
    Current medical evidence shows that when used appropriately and monitored, bio-identical HRT does not increase cancer risk in the general population. In fact, untreated low hormones may increase the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
  • “I heard it’s unsafe or unnatural.”
    We use bio-identical hormones — structurally identical to those your body makes — and tailor your protocol to fit you. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.
  • “I just want to do it naturally.”
    That’s a great instinct — when your body’s natural state is balanced. But if your body is producing inadequate hormones, letting that imbalance continue may cause more harm than the cautious, thoughtful use of HRT.
  • “I tried it before and didn’t feel better.”
    You may not have been evaluated or treated properly. Hormone therapy is both a science and an art — and Dr. Kerendian brings nearly two decades of experience to each protocol.
