💉 What is Nandrolone? Here is a difficult one for all.

A synthetic form of testosterone, Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid prescribed medically for conditions like:
✅ Chronic anemia
✅ Osteoporosis (especially in postmenopausal women)
✅ AIDS-related muscle wasting
✅ Certain types of breast cancer
✅ Chronic kidney disease
It works by stimulating muscle growth, improving red blood cell production, and increasing bone density.

⚠️ Important Warning
Nandrolone is a Schedule III controlled substance. While it has clinical uses, non-prescribed use is illegal in the U.S. and can cause serious, long-term health complications.

Misuse for performance enhancement or bodybuilding may lead to:
🚫 Liver damage
🚫 Cardiovascular disease
🚫 Hormonal imbalances
🚫 Irreversible reproductive changes
🚫 Aggressive mood swings

👩‍⚕️ Side Effects Can Differ By Gender:
For men:
• Shrinking testicles
• Erectile dysfunction
• Breast tissue development

For women:
• Deepened voice
• Irregular periods
• Facial hair growth
• Cl****al enlargement

🔍 Did You Know?
It’s banned by most athletic organizations, including the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Let's talk Hormones..
Our first Hormone Spotlight: hCG (Chorionic Gonadotropin) 💉
Now available at our hormone therapy clinic
Remember the very low-calorie diet? 500 calories per day and HCG drops or injections? Yeah, was not a fan of it and will talk about nothing like that.

At our clinic, when indicated along with your GYN or male or female fertility clinic, we use hCG as part of personalized hormone therapy plans for both men and women:

👩‍⚕️ For Women:
hCG supports ovulation and egg development—essential in fertility treatments and sometimes used alongside estradiol or progesterone to optimize hormone balance.

👨‍⚕️ For Men:
It stimulates natural testosterone production, supports s***m development, and can prevent testicular shrinkage during TRT (testosterone replacement therapy).

⚠️ Important:
hCG is NOT a weight loss drug and should only be used under medical supervision. Misuse can be dangerous.

🧬 Whether you're addressing infertility, low testosterone, or seeking hormone optimization, we guide you with science-backed solutions.

📞 Book a consultation today and take the first step toward hormone balance.

How does Hormone therapy work?
Here in our little corner, in the name of transparency, here is how:

Hormone Therapy Protocol for Women: Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone
Purpose:
To provide evidence-based, individualized hormone therapy using estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone to alleviate symptoms of hormone deficiency and improve quality of life in women.

Initial Assessment and Indications
Menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia
Low libido, fatigue, poor concentration
Vaginal dryness, urinary symptoms
Osteopenia/osteoporosis
Surgically induced or premature menopause
Sexual dysfunction (testosterone)

1.2 Contraindications
History of breast or endometrial cancer (unless cleared by a specialist)
Active or recent thromboembolic disease
Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding
Active liver disease
Pregnancy

2. Baseline Workup
2.1 History
Full menstrual, reproductive, and surgical history
Cardiovascular risk, cancer history, bone health, libido/sexual function
Medication and supplement use

2.2 Physical Exam
Vitals (BP, weight, BMI)

2.3 Baseline Labs
Minimum panel:
Estradiol (E2)
Progesterone
Total and free Testosterone
DHEA-S
FSH, LH
CBC, CMP, lipid panel
TSH, free T3, free T4
HbA1c or fasting glucose
Vitamin D and more

3. Hormone Therapy Regimens
3.1 Estradiol
Purpose: Alleviate vasomotor, genitourinary, cognitive, and mood symptoms
Preferred forms:
Transdermal patch: 0.025–0.05 mg twice weekly
Transdermal gel: 0.5–1 mg/day
Oral estradiol: 0.5–1 mg/day

3.2 Progesterone
Purpose: Endometrial protection (if uterus intact), sleep support, mood stabilization
Preferred form:
Micronized progesterone (bioidentical): 100–200 mg orally at bedtime

Alternatives:
Vaginal progesterone (if GI intolerance)
IUD (e.g., Mirena) for progestin delivery

3.3 Testosterone
Purpose: Treat low libido, fatigue, poor muscle mass, and cognitive issues
Common forms and doses (female dosing):
Transdermal cream/gel (compounded): 0.25–0.5 mg/day
Intramuscular (less common): 2–4 mg IM every 2–4 weeks
Commercial male-dose products must be compounded for women

4.0 Follow-Up Schedule
3 months: Symptom review, side effects, labs (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG)
6–12 months: Lipids, liver function, CBC, continued symptom and risk assessment
Annually: Mammogram, pelvic exam, bone density (if needed), comprehensive review

4.1 Adjustments
Estradiol: Increase dose if hot flashes persist; decrease if breast tenderness or fluid retention
Progesterone: Adjust based on uterine bleeding, mood, and sleep
Testosterone: Adjust if no symptom improvement or signs of excess (acne, hair growth, voice changes)

5. Duration of Therapy
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration, but duration can be individualized based on age, symptom severity, and patient preference

Women with premature menopause or POI should continue HT at least until the average age of menopause (~51)

6. Patient Counseling and Consent
Discuss risks (e.g., breast cancer, VTE, endometrial hyperplasia) vs benefits
We explain the role of each hormone clearly
Encourage lifestyle support: diet, exercise, stress management, smoking cessation
Follow-up evaluations and response to therapy

What’s Happening with GLP-1 Drugs in 2025?
Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro — and the next big wave is here.

🚀 The GLP-1 market is exploding and it’s just getting started.

💊 What's new:
Amgen's MariTide (monthly injection) shows massive weight loss in Phase 2 ( more to come).

Novo & Lilly are racing to release oral GLP-1s ( we have at least one available).

Exciting- Triple-agonists & combo drugs coming 2026+

⚠️ Challenges:

Insurers & Medicaid pulling back coverage 💰
FDA cracking down on compounded GLP-1 but they are still available while in stock ( let us know if you need it before they run out).
Brand name Pricing still ~$1,000/month = barrier for many, cheaper for starting doses.

🔮 Innovation + controversy = this space is red hot.

👇 Who do you think wins this race?
