Dr. Anilda Ortiz Lutz, Tampa Hormone Therapy

If you’ve been feeling "off" lately—whether it’s low energy, brain fog, weight gain, or changes in mood—you’re not alone. These are some of the most common symptoms we hear from patients throughout Lutz, Carrollwood, Northdale, and Cheval, and many of them have one thing in common: hormone imbalance.


At Advanced Optimal Healthcare in Lutz, we offer personalized hormone therapy for women and men throughout the Tampa Bay area. This blog will walk you through when it might be time to explore hormone therapy, what to expect, and how we help you get real answers.


What Are the Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormones affect almost every part of your body, from energy and sleep to metabolism, mental clarity, and emotional regulation. When they’re out of balance, it can show up in ways that are often dismissed or misdiagnosed.

Some signs it might be time to check your hormone levels include:


  • Fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Unexplained weight gain or stubborn weight loss
  • Mood swings or anxiety
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Low libido
  • Irregular cycles or changes in skin/hair
