Feeling tired, gaining weight, or struggling with sleep?
These symptoms may be linked to hormonal imbalances that occur naturally with age. At Dr. Holman’s clinic, we specialize in personalized hormone therapy to help restore energy, improve mental clarity, support healthy aging, and enhance your overall quality of life for our Bellevue and Seattle, Washington patients. Through advanced testing and integrative treatments, we help you feel and function at your best.
Hormone Therapy for Health, Energy, and Longevity
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline—and that can have a significant impact on your health, energy, appearance, and quality of life. Hormone therapy works to restore balance by optimizing key hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormone, and progesterone. Studies show that maintaining optimal levels of these hormones can improve longevity, reduce disease risk, and support overall well-being.
Why Hormone Balance Matters
Reduced Visceral Fat
Optimal levels of estradiol, testosterone, and DHEA help decrease visceral fat—the type of fat that wraps around internal organs like the stomach and liver. Visceral fat is strongly linked to higher risks of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. When these hormones drop, visceral fat often increases.

Stronger Bones & Brain Health
Lower levels of estradiol and DHEA are associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Research has also linked low estradiol to a higher likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Thyroid Function & Metabolism
The thyroid hormone acts like your body’s gas pedal. When thyroid levels are low, you may experience fatigue, depression, constipation, and cold intolerance. Balanced thyroid function supports energy, mood, and metabolic health.
Testosterone & Vitality
As testosterone declines with age in both men and women, it can lead to fatigue, lowered sex drive, muscle loss, cardiovascular issues, and increased cholesterol. Restoring testosterone to optimal levels helps maintain energy, physical fitness, and libido.
Progesterone & Sleep
Low progesterone levels are often behind sleep problems, particularly difficulty falling or staying asleep. Progesterone also plays a protective role against certain cancers.
