Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable effects like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, reduced bone density, lack of energy, poor sleep, mood changes, and impaired cognitive function.
Signs that you may be suffering from an HGH deficiency include:
If you experience several of these symptoms, having your HGH levels tested is wise to determine if hormone therapy may help. New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides accurate lab testing to diagnose any deficiencies.
Treatment of HGH deficiency involving injections of bioidentical human growth hormone can produce remarkable improvements by restoring hormones to youthful levels. Benefits may include:
HGH therapy allows patients to regain vigor they enjoyed during their youth, improving physical, mental and sexual health. When combined with lifestyle measures like proper nutrition and fitness, results can seem dramatic.
HGH injections deliver bioidentical growth hormone directly into the body to mimic natural production. This offers advantages over oral hormone supplements which may be broken down before providing benefit.
Treatment protocols involve subcutaneous injection of HGH daily, most commonly before bedtime. This timing aims to align with the body's natural release of growth hormone during deep sleep. Dosages are tailored to the individual based on factors like age, symptoms, lifestyle and response.
It generally takes 3-6 months to experience the regenerative, rejuvenating effects of therapy as cells regenerate and biological changes accrue. Most patients inject HGH indefinitely to maintain benefits, with regular lab testing to ensure optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained long-term without adverse effects.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic physicians determine personalized plans to help patients meet their health goals via hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Our clinics also provide teaching on properly preparing and self-administering growth hormone injections to make the process convenient at home.
Choosing the right clinic is vital to successful treatment with growth hormone. New Beginnings HRT Clinic has extensive expertise helping patients optimize their wellbeing and slow aging through HRT.
We recognize every patient is biochemically unique. A thorough evaluation considers your symptoms, medical history and lab results when crafting personalized plans aimed at restoring balance and energy. Ongoing monitoring keeps your hormone levels optimized while discussing lifestyle factors impacting your progress.
We empower patients with knowledge, teaching self-injection techniques and explaining the science behind our therapy protocols. Our staff has 200 years of combined experience skillfully navigating complex cases to produce life-changing results. Your health, happiness and satisfaction steer every decision.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides white-glove service unmatched in the industry. We guide new patients through each aspect of the therapy process - extensive intake evaluations, lab testing, explaining treatment plans/costs/insurance, teaching injection techniques and providing ongoing support.
Our providers personally communicate via phone/email in-between visits whenever needed, without nurses or assistants acting as middlemen. We promptly handle prescription refills/changes, address side effects, fine-tune programs and order medically necessary labs per our clinical judgment - no hassles getting requisite approvals.
Scheduling is flexible including evening/weekend appointments to accommodate hectic lifestyles. Video consults ensure continuity of care for those traveling or preferring virtual visits. We smoothly handle all aspects related to your treatment so you can focus on enjoying the benefits.
The first step is diagnosing HGH deficiency through blood analysis. New Beginnings HRT Clinic utilizes cutting-edge labs providing accurate testing of IGF-1, growth hormone and other biomarkers impacted by declining pituitary function.
Results are carefully evaluated in the context of your clinical presentation to determine if inadequate hormone levels are responsible for symptoms hampering your health and vitality.
Once a growth hormone deficiency is established, we thoughtfully consider dosage, injection frequency, timing and oversight needed to achieve treatment goals while minimizing potential side effects.
Most patients begin with a daily regimen of .7 international units injected subcutaneously, ramping upwards gradually over months based on patient response and follow-up lab work. Maximum dosages rarely exceed 1.5 IU daily for safety reasons.
Convenience kits containing needles, syringes and step-by-step instructions are provided. Hands-on guidance teaches proper mixing, preparing and rotating injection sites to make self-administration fast and easy at home.
Omnitrope is the brand of human growth hormone we predominantly prescribe for superior quality ensuring predictable potency and stability. New Beginnings HRT Clinic also sources pharmaceutical grade Sermorelin and Ipamorelin - growth hormone stimulants typically used alongside, or instead of, replenishing HGH directly if advantageous for certain patients.
Follow-up labs tracked every 4-6 weeks confirm hormones are balanced and biomarkers like IGF-1 are neither too low nor excessive. Tracking vitals along with any changes in symptoms or side effects aids precision tuning until the patient feels their best.
HGH therapy is complemented by counseling patients on lifestyle factors proven to enhance hormone production, potency and health-promoting activities. This includes sound sleep habits, nutrition geared towards anti-inflammatory whole foods, regular exercise cautioning against overtraining, and stress management - along with some key Somerville resources available:
New Beginnings HRT Clinic also fosters a warm, welcoming environment providing empathetic emotional support. We understand the frustration dealing with unpleasant symptoms so treat every patient with dignity, compassion and encouragement.
Seeking timely treatment for declining growth hormone levels can halt and prevent undesirable symptoms and health consequences. But without treatment, the effects of hormone imbalance compound:
Insufficient HGH speeds biological aging, compounding the effects of unhealthy lifestyle choices. Deteriorations to fitness, appearance, libido, stamina, cognition and mood makes life less enjoyable.
Plummeting HGH causes severe sarcopenia - progressive loss of lean muscle mass, strength and function. This contributes to frailty, impairment of daily activities, and greater risk of fractures/falls.
Lack of growth hormone is proven to promote abdominal/visceral obesity, and associated inflammation, which boosts disease risks (heart disease, diabetes, etc). Fat accumulation despite diet and exercise is another tip-off signaling hormone issues.
Studies link inadequate growth hormone levels to greater all-cause mortality. Optimizing HGH has restorative effects for vital organs (heart, lungs, brain) and plays protective roles reducing mortality from cancer or diabetes.
Don't write off frustrating symptoms as inevitable results of normal aging without first ruling out hormonal causes. Identifying and properly treating deficiencies early is key to protecting long-term wellness along with feeling your best day-to-day.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH injections were originally developed in 1985 to treat children with growth hormone deficiency. When given for medical reasons under supervision, HGH can help normalize growth and development.
