Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels often decline, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, and more. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help relieve these symptoms by restoring optimal hormone levels.
Declining hormones manifest in many ways. Common symptoms of low testosterone in men include:
In women, low estrogen and progesterone can cause:
Catching and addressing hormone imbalances early is key to feeling your best. Our experienced practitioners can perform the necessary blood tests and analyze your symptoms to create a customized treatment plan.
Bioidentical hormone replacement provides your body with compounds that are molecularly identical to your own estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones. This allows them to bind properly to hormone receptors and mimic the function of naturally produced hormones.
There are multiple methods to deliver bioidentical hormones:
We will select the most effective treatment method based on your lab results, lifestyle and treatment goals. Follow-up blood tests ensure you achieve ideal hormone levels.
Restoring hormonal balance with bioidentical hormones provides wide-ranging benefits:
Bioidentical estrogens, progesterone and testosterone have been shown to successfully reduce hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, fatigue, irritability, anxiety and other hormone deficiency symptoms. Most patients find significant relief within 1-2 months.
Balancing hormones can help you think more clearly, sleep better, feel more energetic, maintain interest in sex, keep a healthier weight and enjoy life again. Bioidentical hormone replacement allows many people to live life to the fullest well into older age.
In addition to feeling better in the present, correcting hormone imbalances may have lasting effects on future health. Estrogen and testosterone play vital long-term roles in preserving bone mineral density, maintaining cognitive function, supporting cardiovascular health and more.
We do not take a “one size fits all” approach. Our practitioners spend extensive time analyzing your bloodwork, symptoms and medical history to create a customized bioidentical hormone regimen designed just for your unique needs. We carefully monitor your progress and make dosage adjustments as necessary.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide similar benefits to conventional hormone therapy, but research is still unclear whether they carry fewer risks long-term. More studies are needed to fully understand their efficacy and safety for treating menopause symptoms compared to conventional options.
At Balanced Hormone Clinic, our top priority is improving patients’ well-being through expert bioidentical hormone replacement. What sets us apart:
Our clinic focuses specifically on hormone balance. While many providers offer hormone therapy, our practitioners have advanced specialty training in anti-aging medicine with an emphasis on bioidentical hormones. Their expertise translates to superior patient outcomes.
We stay current on the latest medical research to provide the most effective integrative treatment plans. For instance, our testosterone protocols for men safely maximize benefits while avoiding side effects. We also address the importance of nutrition, supplements and lifestyle for supporting hormonal health.
Too often, hormone therapy fails when patients do not have their levels properly monitored and adjusted over time. We order follow-up blood tests at regular intervals to ensure you consistently maintain ideal hormone balance. Our close patient relationships and tracking help optimize treatment success.
While your doctor manages your hormone therapy, we have assembled a collaborative team including nurses, nutritionists and mental health providers to address all aspects of your health and wellness during treatment. Our integrative approach promotes maximum benefits.
Many people suffer needlessly from hormonal imbalance for years before receiving treatment. The longer hormone levels decline, the higher risk for symptoms like osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. By detecting and correcting hormone deficiencies earlier, complications may be avoided and quality of life dramatically improved.
We encourage adults to monitor hormones with periodic blood testing. Diagnosing and treating imbalances promptly can restore wellness, energy and vitality while protecting long-term health. Our experienced practitioners test hormone levels and help patients determine if hormone therapy is appropriate. Reach out today to discuss your symptoms or schedule testing.
