Many people experience a decline in vital hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone as they age. This can lead to distressing symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels to alleviate symptoms and promote wellbeing.
Bioidentical means the hormones are structurally identical to those naturally produced in the human body. This allows them to be efficiently recognized and utilized by hormone receptors. In contrast, non-bioidentical versions have a different molecular structure that may not offer the same full spectrum of health benefits.
If your hormones are out of optimal range, you may experience:
Left untreated, hormone imbalances can increase risks for severe conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Balancing your hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement offers immense benefits:
We recognize and appreciate the uniqueness of each individual we treat. Our compassionate practitioners take the time to listen and understand your specific concerns, expectations, and lifestyle to create a custom bioidentical hormone therapy plan that helps you feel healthy, youthful, and vibrant again.
There are several major types of bioidentical hormones that can be used to restore balance:
Crucial for biological females, estrogen plays a vital role in sexual and reproductive development. Imbalances can disrupt the menstrual cycle and bring on perimenopause/menopause with symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and irritability.
Benefits: Reduces hot flashes/night sweats, improves sleep quality, increases libido, supports heart health and bone density
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle. Declining levels lead to symptoms like PMS, irregular periods, anxiety, fatigue, and headaches.
Benefits: Regulates menstrual cycle, alleviates PMS and perimenopause symptoms, promotes restful sleep, enhances mood
Both men and women need testosterone for metabolism, sexual functioning, muscle/bone strength, cognition, mood stability, cardiovascular health, and more. Deficiency causes low energy, diminished strength/endurance, erection problems, depression, and loss of independence.
Benefits: Boosts libido, energy levels, cognitive abilities and lean muscle mass; reduces body fat; supports emotional health
The thyroid produces hormones that govern growth, development, metabolism, body temperature, heart rate, mood, and energy utilization. Imbalances cause weight gain/loss, anxiety, insomnia, hair thinning, brain fog, fatigue, etc.
Benefits: Regulates metabolism, body temperature, mood and energy; promotes weight loss; improves concentration/focus
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor sex steroid hormone essential for the production of estrogen and testosterone. DHEA levels peak around age 25 then steadily decline. Supplementing DHEA has been found to slow aspects of the aging process.
Benefits: Boosts immune function, increases libido, builds bone density, promotes healthy aging
The first step is recognizing your hormone-related symptoms and seeking proper medical care. Starting bioidentical HRT involves:
Comprehensive lab testing analyzes your individual hormone levels and pinpoints any deficiencies or excesses compared to optimal reference ranges. This establishes your biological baseline to best calibrate your treatment protocol. We use only the most cutting-edge diagnostics for unprecedented accuracy.
During your initial consultation, our practitioners will obtain your health history, discuss your symptoms/goals, perform a physical exam if needed, and review your lab results to determine the ideal hormones and dosages to prescribe. We spend ample time addressing all your concerns to ensure you are fully comfortable and informed about the process. Follow-up visits allow for continually optimizing your regimen based on your evolving needs.
Hormone treatments are expertly prepared in our compounding lab to match your individual hormonal deficiencies and physiology for guaranteed effectiveness. Available options include oral capsules, sublingual tablets, topical gels/creams, injectable serums, or sustained-release pellets for maximum convenience.
We specialize in state-of-the-art pellet implant therapy which provides steady hormonal delivery for 3-6 months from a simple quick insertion.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are still needed to determine if one is truly superior.
Male androgen deficiency becomes increasingly common in aging men. Testosterone deficiency syndrome (TD or “low T”) has been estimated to impact 13-40% of men over age 45. Declining testosterone exacerbates fatigue, irritability, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of strength/stamina, mental fog, depression, obesity, and chronic illnesses.
Testosterone is vital for men's health - mentally, physically, emotionally, and sexually.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) through bioidentical hormones can profoundly improve men’s symptoms and support better performance, confidence and longevity.
Benefits of TRT:
Our practitioners expertly determine if TRT is appropriate and tailor treatment regimens consisting of testosterone gels/creams, injectables, or sustaining pellet implants. Follow-up blood work and adjustments ensure optimal testosterone levels are established and maintained long-term.
We also provide comprehensive lifestyle counseling regarding nutrition, supplements, exercise, stress reduction and other factors that commonly disrupt hormonal balance. Our integrative solutions renew men’s vitality, sexuality and enjoyment of life!
If you are struggling with distressing signs of hormonal decline like hot flashes, low libido, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain or brain fog, it’s critical to take action promptly before suboptimal levels trigger more severe deterioration.
