Arora MD Longevity & Aesthetics in East Brunswick, NJ offers hormone balance evaluation and optimization for men and women. The evaluation combines a health history, symptom review and blood tests for hormones including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol, and leads to a personal plan that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, supplements, diet and lifestyle changes.
Hormone balance evaluation
Who it’s for
The first conversation is about you, not a protocol. You may be a good fit if:
- Chronic fatigue or low energy
- Trouble losing weight or building muscle
- Lower libido or sexual function
- Poor sleep
- Mood swings, anxiety or low mood
- Memory or focus that has slipped
How it works
What to expect
Consultation
Your medical history and symptoms, discussed in detail. A free 15-minute consult is available to start.
Comprehensive testing
Blood tests measure key hormones: testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol.
Personal plan
Based on your results: hormone therapy where it fits, plus dietary guidance, supplements and lifestyle changes.
Ongoing monitoring
Most patients have regular follow-ups so the plan can be adjusted to keep levels balanced.
For hormone and longevity consults, please book at least two weeks ahead: our team sends a lab order for Quest, Labcorp or another participating lab, typically covered by insurance.
Why look at hormones as a whole
Hormones govern metabolism, sleep, reproduction and mood. Age, stress and lifestyle can tip them out of balance, and the result is often several symptoms at once.
The evaluation draws on longevity and functional medicine, looking for underlying causes in your metabolism, nutrition and genetics rather than treating each symptom in isolation. Rebalancing may help with energy, mood, sleep, body composition and mental clarity.
Preparing for testing
A little preparation makes the results more useful.
- Complete all requested blood tests before your appointment
- Keep a short journal of your symptoms to bring along
- Skip coffee and alcohol for 24 hours before testing
- Afterward, follow your plan and keep your follow-up visits

Questions

Which hormones are tested?
Typically testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol, which together affect metabolism, mood, energy and reproductive health.
How is this different from standard hormone therapy?
It looks for root causes, bringing in lifestyle, nutrition and genetic factors, rather than treating symptoms one at a time.
Is it for men and women?
Yes. The hormones and treatments differ, but the goal for both is balance and a better quality of life.
Can it help with sexual health?
Many patients notice improvements in libido and sexual function once their hormone levels are properly regulated.
How long does treatment last?
It depends on your needs. Most patients have ongoing monitoring and adjustments to keep levels where they should be.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Often it is, with dietary changes, supplements and lifestyle changes alongside any hormone therapy.
