The Vital Role of Hormones as You Age
⚠ Left untreated, Adult Hormone Deficiency Syndrome can significantly impact quality of life and long-term health.
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate nearly every function in the body—from sleep cycles to reproductive health, mood, energy, and immunity. As we age, hormone production slows down. This can trigger fatigue, weight gain, depression, brain fog, and sexual dysfunction. That’s why hormone replacement therapy isn’t just about symptoms—it’s about restoring your vitality and extending your quality of life.
Adult Hormone Deficiency Syndrome is an endocrine disorder that occurs when the body fails to produce sufficient levels of essential hormones, often due to aging, medical conditions, or glandular dysfunction. (New England Journal of Medicine) Hormone imbalance symptoms can disrupt key bodily functions such as metabolism, mood regulation, sexual health, and energy production. It may involve deficiencies in estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, or others.
Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms
Symptoms or Hormone Deficiency in Men & Women may include:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Mood swings or depression
- Decreased libido
- Sleep disturbances
- Brain fog or memory issues
- Muscle loss
- Dry skin
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Thinning hair
It’s important to understand that hormone deficiency affects everyone differently – some may experience multiple symptoms, while others may notice only one.
Why It’s Important to Treat Hormone Deficiency
When left untreated, hormone imbalances can lead to more serious health issues over time. Some of the potential complications include…
- Higher risk of heart disease: Low hormone levels—such as growth hormone or testosterone—can negatively affect cholesterol, blood pressure, and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
- Weakened bones (osteoporosis): Hormone deficiencies can reduce bone density, raising the risk of fractures.
- Decreased quality of life: Ongoing fatigue, mood changes, and low energy can affect your work, relationships, and overall well-being.
If you’re noticing signs of hormone imbalance, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a major difference in how you feel—and help prevent more serious issues down the line.
At Viva Vitality, Dr. Morales takes a comprehensive approach by thoroughly reviewing your medical history and lab results to uncover the root causes and contributing factors. This allows him to create a safe, personalized care plan tailored to optimize your health and restore hormonal balance.

Hormone Therapy for Men
Low testosterone can rob you of your strength, stamina, and confidence.
After the age of 40, men may experience a natural decline in key hormones, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido, and muscle loss. The most vital hormones for men’s health include:
Testosterone: Essential for maintaining muscle mass, energy levels, mood stability, and sexual health.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): Supports testosterone production, immune function, and stress management.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH): Plays a critical role in muscle recovery, energy, and cell regeneration.
Thyroid Hormones: Regulate metabolism, energy levels, and weight control.
Our HRT programs for men help restore balance, reignite drive, and support lean muscle and mental sharpness. Learn more about Testosterone Therapy for Men >>
Hormone Therapy for Women
From perimenopause to post-menopause, declining estrogen and progesterone can lead to hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, and more.
For women, the hormonal changes that occur during menopause can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased bone density. The most vital hormones for women’s health post-menopause include:
Estrogen: Supports bone health, cardiovascular health, and helps alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
Progesterone: Balances the effects of estrogen and aids in sleep, mood regulation, and weight management.
Testosterone: Although typically considered a male hormone, testosterone is crucial for women’s libido, muscle tone, and energy levels.
Thyroid Hormones: Help regulate metabolism and energy, and are essential for weight control and overall health.
