Hormone Replacement Therapy
Wellness Center & Aesthetic Medical Spa in Pleasanton, CA
Your hormones are the silent conductors of your entire body’s symphony. When they’re in tune, you feel energized, balanced, and confident. When they’re off? Fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or low libido can take over. At Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness, our approach to hormone optimization goes far beyond a prescription. We take a comprehensive, whole-person approach—what we call a “Metabolic Reset”—to help you reclaim balance, vitality, and confidence from the inside out.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore hormones that naturally decline or become imbalanced with age, stress, or health conditions. It most commonly involves supplementing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone to bring levels back into a healthy range. Both men and women use HRT to support overall well-being, improve energy, and maintain a healthier quality of life as they age.
What Does HRT Treat?
HRT at Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness addresses a wide range of concerns for both men and women, including:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Mood swings, irritability, or brain fog
- Decreased libido and sexual health concerns
- Sleep disturbances
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Thyroid disorders
- PCOS-related hormone imbalances
- Loss of muscle mass or strength
- Menopause- or andropause-related changes
Our Approach
At Radiance, HRT isn’t a one-size-fits-all prescription. Instead, we run a complete hormone panel—not just testosterone or estrogen, but thyroid, adrenal, and growth hormones too. From there, we create a personalized plan that addresses your body’s unique chemistry.
For men: We focus on testosterone optimization to support metabolism, energy, libido, and cognitive health. This approach promotes healthy aging, builds muscle, and supports emotional stability, enhancing both the physical and mental aspects of men’s health.
For women: We use estrogen for menopausal symptom relief and bone protection, with progesterone serving as a protective counterpart that safeguards the uterus. Testosterone may also support hormonal balance, improving mood, energy, and postmenopausal libido.
By pairing HRT with nutritional consultations, lifestyle adjustments, and metabolic support, we don’t just relieve symptoms—we help your entire system work in harmony.
Benefits of Hormone Optimization
No cookie-cutter protocols here. We tailor your therapy to your unique labs and needs, so you get balance—not just another pill bottle.
Say goodbye to dragging yourself through the day. With hormones in sync, your body produces and uses energy more efficiently, giving you stamina you can actually feel.
Optimized hormones mean stronger muscles, better metabolism, and sharper focus. It’s not about “turning back time”—it’s about helping your body show up for you, every day.
Mood swings and irritability aren’t “just part of getting older.” Balanced hormones support a calmer, steadier emotional baseline—so you feel more like yourself again.
Low libido doesn’t have to be permanent. By restoring sexual health hormones, we help you reconnect with desire and intimacy in a natural, authentic way.
Because we integrate lab work, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching, our HRT program does more than balance hormones—it helps your metabolism, weight management, and overall vitality get back on track.
Treatment Process: What To Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and lab testing. Zayda Yeoh, NP, takes the time to listen to your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. You’ll receive a comprehensive hormone panel, including thyroid levels, to guide a clear and personalized roadmap.
Once your personalized plan is designed, treatment may involve hormone pellets, injections, creams, or oral formulations depending on what’s best for your body. Sessions are typically quick and comfortable, with our team guiding you every step of the way.
There’s little to no downtime with most HRT treatments. You may notice subtle improvements in energy or mood within weeks, with fuller benefits appearing as your body adjusts. Follow-up labs and check-ins are scheduled to fine-tune your plan.
Most clients begin noticing improvements within 4–6 weeks, with optimal results appearing around the 3-month mark. Continued improvements in energy, sleep, mood, and weight management occur with ongoing treatment. Maintenance is key—regular monitoring ensures your results are sustainable long term.
Is HRT Right For Me?
BHRT may be a fit if symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, low libido, or poor sleep are disrupting daily life. Ideal candidates include:
Perimenopausal women: Irregular cycles, mood changes, or restless sleep may stem from shifting estrogen and progesterone. Low testosterone at this stage can also impact energy, drive, and sexual desire.
Menopausal women: Hot flashes, night sweats, weight changes, and low libido often come from declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. BHRT can ease these symptoms when they persist.
Andropausal men: Chronic fatigue, loss of muscle, weight gain, and reduced sexual performance may point to low testosterone. Optimizing levels can restore vitality.
Other hormonal conditions: PCOS, thyroid disorders, or adrenal fatigue can also affect mood, energy, and metabolism—and may benefit from targeted therapy.
A consultation and lab testing are the best way to know if BHRT is right for you.
Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Hormone replacement isn’t a “one-and-done” treatment. After your initial plan begins, most clients see us for monitoring and adjustments every 3–6 months. This ensures your therapy evolves with your body’s needs.
As long as treatment continues. When you stop HRT, hormone levels naturally decline again over time. With ongoing care, benefits like improved energy, mood, and metabolism remain consistent.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces, which may help them integrate more smoothly. Synthetic hormones are similar but not identical. At Radiance, we’ll discuss which option fits your health profile best.
Quite the opposite—hormonal balance often improves metabolism and helps the body manage weight more effectively. We pair your plan with nutritional and lifestyle guidance to maximize results.
When monitored by a medical professional, yes. At Radiance, we perform thorough lab testing before starting and schedule regular follow-ups to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Testosterone may be recommended for women when standard HRT with estrogen and progesterone does not fully relieve symptoms, most often in cases of reduced sexual desire during menopause. In carefully prescribed low doses, testosterone can also support energy and mood, helping restore overall balance as part of a personalized hormone therapy plan.
