Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, and overall health. As we age, HGH production naturally declines, which can lead to a growth hormone deficiency. Symptoms of HGH deficiency include decreased muscle mass and bone density, increased body fat, fatigue, poor memory and concentration, and more.
Getting tested for an HGH deficiency is critical, as it allows doctors to determine if hormone replacement therapy is needed. At our Balance & Renew Clinic in Simsbury, we offer comprehensive HGH testing to identify any imbalances. Our knowledgeable medical staff will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and use blood tests to check your IGF-1 and growth hormone levels.
If results indicate an HGH deficiency, hormone replacement therapy can provide incredible benefits. With customized HGH plans, patients report increased energy, better body composition, enhanced skin and hair, improved cholesterol levels, better sleep, and a brighter overall outlook on life. The safe, bioidentical hormones allow the body to regain balance.
HGH injections can significantly improve health and quality of life. As we age, HGH declines and unpleasant symptoms of aging become more apparent. With customized treatment plans and regular monitoring, HGH therapy offers incredible benefits:
Increased Lean Muscle Mass
Decreased Body Fat
Stronger Bones
Enhanced Energy Levels
Better Cardiovascular Health
Improved Skin Texture and Appearance
Increased Sexual Performance
Improved Mood and Mental Health
Enhanced Sleep Quality
HGH therapy also helps heal wounds faster, strengthens nails, and provides healthier hair and skin. With a customized treatment approach focused on your unique needs, HGH can transform wellbeing on many levels.
Recognizing the signs of an HGH deficiency and getting tested is critical for regaining health and wellness. At Balance & Renew Clinic, our medical team is highly experienced in evaluating symptoms and using medical tests to definitively diagnose deficiency:
Declining HGH levels cause multiple symptoms that impact daily function and quality of life, such as:
Along with a medical history and physical exam, we utilize blood tests to definitively diagnose HGH deficiency:
Understanding the exact cause and degree of hormone imbalance is crucial for developing customized, safe treatment plans that restore optimal balance. Our expertise ensures precise, comprehensive diagnosis.
The goal of HGH replacement therapy is restoring deficient growth hormone levels for better health - thereby reducing unpleasant symptoms of aging. After comprehensive testing, qualified candidates can start therapy which our clinicians carefully monitor for safety and efficacy.
HGH dosing is highly individualized - based on deficiency severity, age, gender, sensitivity, treatment goals and more. Most patients establish an optimal maintenance dose 1-3 months after starting therapy.
We provide everything needed for safe administration - including training videos, clearly labeled medications, and injection supplies. Most patients easily learn to self-inject within several weeks, making home treatment simple and convenient.
While often associated with performance enhancement, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 to treat growth hormone deficiency in children. When given for medical reasons under doctor supervision, HGH can help normalize growth and development in those unable to produce enough growth hormone naturally.
Recognizing hormonal decline early and promptly starting treatment offers the best opportunity for restoring wellness and enjoying resolved deficiency symptoms. Therefore, we recommend adults be proactive and:
Data clearly shows initiating HGH therapy early, before severe deficiency develops, enhances overall outcomes. Patients better regain vibrant health, strength, mental acuity and active lifestyles while protecting against age-related diseases. Our passion is helping patients sustain hormonal balance for increased longevity.

While HGH therapy powerfully treats deficiency symptoms, optimizing nutrition, activity levels, stress reduction and other lifestyle factors amplify and prolong the benefits. Our clinicians suggest patients:
Improve Diet - Emphasize high protein, nutrient dense anti-inflammatory whole foods. Stay well hydrated and minimize sugars, excess carbs and processed items. Consider evaluating food sensitivities.
Increase Exercise - Ideally 30-60 minutes daily combining aerobic, strength training and stretching/yoga. Start slowly and gradually increase intensity. Walking remains a phenomenal option! Local parks (like McLean Game Refuge or Riverfront Park) offer great scenic trails. For indoor exercise, check out Simsbury Farms Racquet Fitness and Swim Club or the new GAN Fitness.
Optimize Sleep Habits - Adults need 7 hours nightly. Ensure sufficient duration and consistency, avoid electronic use before bed and create an restful environment for deeper, restorative sleep cycles enhancing HGH benefits.
Reduce Stress - Chronic elevations in cortisol and adrenaline from work demands, digital overload and anxiety sabotage hormone health. Practice regular stretching, meditation or yoga and make time for enjoyable hobbies promoting relaxation. For example, pick-up games at Ayer Park on Darling Drive or catching live music at the newly renovated Iron Horse Entertainment Group venue downtown are great local stressbusters!
Additional wellness strategies like mental training, social connection, hydration/nutrition tracking apps and optimizing micronutrient/medicinal supplements can further sustain hormone balance and energized wellbeing. Our clinicians gladly offer detailed protocols.
Prioritizing core lifestyle pillars makes sustaining an ideal hormonal state easier than ever - ensuring you maximize and extend the transformative benefits of HGH therapy for the long haul. We encourage consistently working with our clinicians to target ongoing progress!
