Human growth hormone (HGH) is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH production naturally declines, leading to undesirable effects like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, reduced bone density, lackluster skin and hair, and reduced energy levels.
HGH therapy involves supplementing the body's declining growth hormone levels through injections of biosynthetic HGH. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy can produce transformative results, helping patients look and feel decades younger.
How do you know if you may be growth hormone deficient? There are several telling signs and symptoms:
If you are experiencing several of these symptoms, especially in conjunction with natural aging, HGH deficiency may be to blame.
When administered properly by a hormone specialist, HGH therapy offers a breadth of meaningful benefits:
In short, HGH therapy can help patients look better, feel better, function at a higher level, and enjoy an improved quality of life. It offers the closest thing available to a modern “fountain of youth.”
What exactly does HGH therapy entail? Here is a brief primer:
The first step is verifying a growth hormone deficiency through blood testing. This requires evaluation of IGF-1 levels. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) is stimulated by HGH and serves as the primary mediator of growth hormone’s anabolic effects. An IGF-1 deficiency, particularly when total IGF-1 levels are below 200 ng/mL, points to inadequate HGH. Additional hormones like testosterone may also be tested.
If testing confirms a hormone deficiency, the patient will be prescribed a customized regimen of HGH injections. HGH therapy utilizes bioidentical growth hormone to restore youthful function and vitality. Injections are self-administered 3-7 times weekly, depending on the protocol. Most patients notice benefits within the first month of therapy.
Patients undergo testing every 4-6 months to monitor progress and ensure optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained. The supervising physician may adjust the treatment protocol based on patient response and feedback. Most patients remain on HGH therapy indefinitely to enjoy the full scope of anti-aging effects.
Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management all play supporting roles for maximizing the benefits of HGH therapy while also promoting overall health. Patients meet regularly with our onsite nutritionist and receive customized dietary and fitness guidance.

The regenerative capacity of the body’s tissues declines with age, so delaying HGH therapy limits potential gains. Vitality Balance Clinic helps patients proactively preserve youthfulness.
Spring offers convenient access to laboratory testing at several area facilities including Spring Valley Medical Labs, Redsun Clinical Lab, and Springwell Diagnostics. All offer private suite appointments with minimal wait times. Testing is required before starting therapy and should be repeated every 4-6 months.
The Spring area offers bountiful options for complementary lifestyle activities to reduce stress and enhance fitness. Top local recommendations include:
Walking & Hiking
Relaxation & Rejuvenation
Fitness
Integrating outlets like these that reduce stress, connect with nature, promote mind-body balance, and boost fitness can amplify the rejuvenating effects of HGH therapy.
While HGH therapy delivers benefits year round, initiating treatment at the start of spring allows patients to capitalize on warmer weather and emerging sunlight to engage in outdoor activities that enhance results. The spring season represents a time of renewal and rebirth - an optimal backdrop for launching transformative HGH therapy!
While often associated with illegal performance enhancement, HGH therapy is also used to successfully treat growth problems in children. When legally prescribed by a doctor, HGH injections can be life-changing for kids with growth hormone deficiency, helping them achieve normal height and development.
