Once you’ve identified symptoms and gotten labs, what comes next? The right plan is personal—here’s what it may look like.

When lifestyle is enough

Small changes can help a lot, especially for milder symptoms:

Healthy lifestyle basics: consistent sleep, protein-forward meals, fiber, and daily steps.
Stress care: 5-minute breathing, quick walks, boundaries with screens.
Fitness plan: simple strength work 2–3×/week, plus brisk walks on most days.

When medical care helps

If symptoms are strong, ongoing, or affect your life, a medical plan may help. This can include hormone therapy for women or medically supervised testosterone care for men (TRT). Plans are personalized and include monitoring.

Patient voice

“I honestly can’t express how much True Test has changed my life. I used to feel so sluggish, foggy, and like I was just surviving each day. After starting HRT with them, I feel like me again—like the energized, focused woman I used to be before all the hormone chaos. The staff listens, cares, and explains everything so clearly. If you're struggling and think it might be hormone-related, don’t wait. Just book the consult.” — Stephanie S. Individual experiences vary. No results are guaranteed.

Hormonal Imbalance FAQs

What are early signs for hormonal imbalance?

Common early clues are lower energy, poor sleep, mood shifts, low sex drive, brain fog, and small but steady weight gain. Women may notice hot flashes or cycle changes. Men may notice motivation and performance changes.

How often should I retest?

It depends on your plan. Many people retest after a few weeks or months to see progress and adjust.

Can diet and exercise fix it?

Sometimes, yes—especially if symptoms are mild and driven by stress or sleep issues. If symptoms are stronger or long‑lasting, a medical plan may help.

Is this a one‑size‑fits‑all program?

No. Your plan is based on your symptoms, history, hormonal test results, and your goals.

Are there guarantees?

No. Bodies are unique. We’ll set realistic steps and watch your progress together.

How does hormone replacement therapy (HRT) help with weight loss?

HRT can help balance hormones that affect weight, such as thyroid hormones, insulin, and sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Balanced hormones can improve metabolism, reduce fat accumulation, and increase energy levels, making weight loss more achievable.
