Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in growth, cell repair and regeneration, bone strength, brain function, metabolism, and more. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable effects. HGH therapy involves supplementing declining HGH levels to restore them to more youthful ranges.
When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers outstanding benefits:
However, HGH must be prescribed by a hormone specialist based on medical need. Horizon Hormone Therapy clinic provides fully personalized HGH therapy protocols to residents of the Gilroy area.
Declining HGH levels cause few obvious symptoms at first. Over time, signs and symptoms may include:
HGH blood tests are required for accurate diagnosis, assessing IGF-1 and GH levels. Horizon Hormone Therapy uses advanced testing to uncover deficiencies early.
The effects of low GH accumulate over months and years. The longer deficiency goes untreated, the more muscle is lost and fat gained.
Bones become increasingly fragile, and brain function continues to decline. Skin loses elasticity as collagen production drops. Immunity falters, injuries take longer to heal, and chronic inflammation increases.
In short, the physical declines of later decades arrive early at an accelerated pace.
Treating GH deficiency promptly is crucial for supporting body composition, physical abilities, brain health, appearance, and quality of life through midlife and beyond.
Once diagnosed, GH therapy utilizes daily HGH injections to restore levels. Treatment protocols are fully personalized at Horizon Hormone Therapy based on factors like:
We craft fully customized plans to meet each patient's needs for safe, optimal restoration of GH levels.

Our clinical team provides attentive patient guidance before, during, and after treatment protocols. We forge trusted partnerships focused on your best health and wellbeing.
While often associated with performance enhancement or anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in the 1980s as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency to help them attain normal height and body proportions. When used properly under medical supervision, it can significantly improve health outcomes for those with legitimate deficiencies.

Nestled amid the hills above Silicon Valley, Gilroy offers gorgeous scenery, fresh air, and sunny weather year-round - ideal conditions to support HGH therapy effectiveness.
Gilroy averages nearly 300 sunny days per year. Despite light coastal influence, the Santa Clara Valley keeps things warmer than the San Francisco peninsula and East Bay. Spring and fall see typical highs around 70°F, with 80-90°F prevailing in summer. The winter lows in the 40s make an invigorating backdrop for brisk walks and hikes during HGH therapy.
Foothills surround the valley, including hiking trails up scenic El Toro Peak. The park features stands of oak, pine and madrone - a relaxing setting to destress during treatment.
The classic Italianate architecture of downtown makes a charming location for strolls, shopping, and dining out during leisure time. The Gilroy Gardens theme park presents another family-friendly local option between HGH doses.
For indoor walks with plenty of room, the Gilroy Premium Outlets stretch over two miles with nearly 150 stores. Or work up an appetite browsing Christopher Ranch displays to sample their signature garlic festivals held throughout the year.
With plentiful fitness centers, spas, walking trails, and healthy dining choices, our location makes an outstanding therapeutic hub for HGH therapy and holistic wellness. Our integrative treatments combine seamlessly with the relaxed yet invigorating character of life in Gilroy.
We welcome you to schedule a consultation and discover what our neighborhood has to offer during your personalized optimization journey.
Several factors contribute to declining hormones like growth hormone (GH). While some degree of drop-off is normal with age, deficiency indicates levels falling enough to cause health declines.
The most common reason for hormone deficiency is the natural decrease that occurs from our 20s onward. As the body ages, glands like the pituitary slowly reduce output of key hormones. For example, GH secretion may decrease by up to 14% per decade as we get older.
Lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, inadequate sleep, and high stress sustainably impact hormone production over the years. Maintaining healthy lifestyle practices helps sustain more youthful hormone ranges.
Conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infections, kidney disease, and genetic disorders often disrupt endocrine function. Managing these illnesses supports healthy hormone levels.
Traumatic brain injury poses a risk for hypopituitarism - decreased pituitary function leading to hormone declines. Monitoring levels after major head trauma detects impairment early.
Procedures in the head/neck region, including radiation therapy, may damage glands that govern hormone release. Therapy can help counteract associated deficiencies.
Through precise testing, we accurately diagnose causes of hormone imbalance in aging adults. Our GH therapy in Gilroy halts and reverses associated declines.
Accurately assessing hormone status requires specific blood, urine, or saliva assays. At Horizon Hormone Therapy Gilroy, we utilize advanced diagnostics to uncover imbalances.
Declines suggest pituitary impairment, requiring treatment.
We uncover menopause or andropause onset early.
Imbalances associate with chronic fatigue, mood disorders.
Through these labs, we obtain the data needed to devise fully personalized optimization plans addressing all deficient hormones.
Our experienced medical team guides you through each step of GH treatment:
We perform an extensive history and evaluation of your health status, symptoms, and wellness goals. Any prior hormone testing is reviewed. We order updated labs if none available or results over 6 months old.
Comprehensive hormone bloodwork and physical exam are used to accurately assess IGF-1, GH levels, body composition, and signs of GH deficiency. Testing is precisely timed for ideal accuracy.
Based on a confirmed deficiency and your individual needs, we develop an integrated plan incorporating HGH injections dosed and timed for restoration to optimal ranges, ongoing testing, and lifestyle optimization strategies for supporting wellness during therapy.
We educate you on proper injection techniques, scheduling, handling & storage of GH. You receive coaching to enhance diet, activity, sleep and stress management for best treatment results. We closely monitor progress and provide ongoing guidance.
