A chronic illness is a medical condition that lasts for a long period of time, typically at least 6 months or more. Those with chronic illnesses may experience long-lasting symptoms that negatively impact their quality of life. Examples of common chronic illnesses include:
Those living with a chronic condition must learn to manage their health. Ongoing medical care is often required, which may involve regular visits to healthcare providers, lab tests, imaging scans, taking daily medications, and more. Lifestyle changes related to diet, exercise, and stress management are usually recommended as well.
Managing a chronic illness can be challenging. Symptoms may fluctuate over time, while some patients experience periods where their illness flares up and causes more severe symptoms. The physical limitations and medical demands of chronic illness can also take a toll mentally and emotionally. Having a strong support system is invaluable.
Our goal is to empower patients to take charge of their health. We listen carefully to understand our patients' unique symptoms and needs. Then we develop holistic treatment plans to reduce symptoms long-term. Customized HRT can promote balanced hormone levels related to thyroid, metabolism, sexual health, cognition, and more. When hormone levels are optimized, patients often report improvements in energy, sleep, mood, sexual function, body composition, and ability to participate in daily activities.
If you live with a chronic illness and want to improve your quality of life, we invite you to schedule a consultation. Our caring medical staff is here to support you on your health journey.
