Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, natural HGH production often slows down, leading to potential signs and symptoms of HGH deficiency like decreased muscle mass and bone density, increased body fat, low energy, and impacts on cholesterol levels and heart health.
Getting tested and addressing HGH deficiency through hormone replacement therapy can help patients restore hormonal balance, address troubling symptoms, and promote improved health and vitality. The expert physicians at Balance & Renew Clinic specialize in advanced HGH treatment protocols tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Some indications that you may be experiencing growth hormone deficiency include:
HGH deficiency can occur due to natural aging, but there may also be other underlying causes like pituitary disorders, inflammatory diseases, brain trauma, or radiation treatment.
Getting a full medical workup and testing your IGF-1 and growth hormone levels can help clarify whether hormones are contributing to your health issues. The sooner treatment begins, the more potential benefits patients may experience.
Accurately diagnosing HGH deficiency involves blood tests, clinical evaluation of symptoms and history, and often specialized stimulation testing.
Key labs include:
Stimulation testing analyzes GH response after being "provoked" with substances like arginine, clonidine, or glucagon.
By combining multiple testing approaches, our Balance & Renew Clinic physicians can get a precise hormonal picture for developing personalized treatment plans.
When administered properly at optimized dosing, HGH therapy can provide a number of therapeutic benefits:
It's important to note that specific benefits vary substantially based on the dosage administered, the patient's age and health status, lifestyle factors, and length of treatment.
Balance & Renew Clinic physicians are experts in analyzing your needs and crafting customized HGH therapy plans to help you achieve your wellness goals.
If testing confirms a diagnosis of clinical growth hormone deficiency, HGH injections are the standard medical treatment approach.

Studies show HGH therapy can increase muscle mass and decrease body fat in healthy older adults, even without exercise. However, the fat loss seems to plateau after about 6 months of treatment. More research is still needed on longer-term efficacy and potential side effects.
As one of the most common and impactful age-related hormone deficiencies, untreated growth hormone decline can lead to a number of concerning health issues over time including loss of strength, bone fragility, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, impaired immunity, and emotional impacts like depression and reduced quality of life.
By addressing low GH levels earlier on with replacement therapy under medical supervision, patients may help support muscle mass, metabolism, heart health, body composition, skin and hair condition, libido, and a sense of vitality into older age.
Through an integrative approach focused on each individual's needs and goals, the hormone doctors at Balance & Renew Clinic develop personalized plans to help patients restore balance, optimize health, and regain their energetic zest for life.
