Give Yourself the Gift of Wellness: How Hormone Therapy Can Help You Feel Your Best

If there’s one gift worth giving yourself this year, it’s the gift of feeling your best. And for many people, that starts with understanding what’s happening behind the scenes in your body. When your hormones are out of balance, everything can feel a little off: your mood, your energy, your sleep, even your motivation.

Board-certified surgeon Dennis L. Streeter, DO, FAAOS, in northwestern Indiana, offers hormone therapy as one option that can help restore stability, support your long-term health, and help you feel like yourself again.

Let’s walk through how hormone therapy works, why it’s so transformative for many people, and how to tell if it might be a good fit for you.

Why hormones matter more than you think

Hormones are one of your body’s messengers, and they help regulate almost everything. Here are just some of the things your hormones can affect:

Mood
Sleep
Metabolism
Libido
Memory and focus
Stress levels
Bone and heart health

So when your hormones fall out of sync due to aging, stress, lifestyle shifts, or natural changes like perimenopause or menopause, it can create a domino effect that impacts your entire sense of well-being.

How hormone therapy helps restore balance

Hormone therapy works by supplementing your body with the hormones it’s no longer producing at optimal levels. For women, this often includes estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. For men, it may involve boosting testosterone and supporting related systems.

This therapeutic approach can help restore your natural rhythms and improve daily functioning in a way that feels both subtle and powerful. Hormone therapy can help with:

Better mood stability

You’ll notice reduced irritability, anxiety, and emotional swings.

More energy

Say goodbye to that “afternoon crash” or all-day exhaustion.

Improved sleep

Hormone balance supports deeper, more restorative rest.

Higher libido and sexual well-being

Hormone therapy can ease dryness, discomfort, or low desire.

Sharper mental focus

You can expect less brain fog, improved clarity, and cognition.

Fewer physical symptoms

You’ll also notice relief from hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, or joint pain.

Different types of hormone therapy

Not all therapies are the same. Dr. Streeter evaluates your symptoms, medical history, and lab results to create a personalized approach. Here are just a few examples:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Targeted hormone support
Therapies available in pellets, creams, patches, injections, or oral meds

Your treatment can be tailored to your comfort and lifestyle. A personalized plan ensures your body gets what it needs.

Ultimately, you deserve to feel healthy, energized, and grounded. Hormone therapy is one powerful way to support your body through natural changes and give yourself the wellness boost you’ve been craving.
