Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to undesirable symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels, thereby relieving symptoms and promoting better health.
Imbalanced hormones can cause wide-ranging symptoms. Common signs of low hormone levels include:
- Hot flashes - Vaginal dryness - Increased anxiety or depression - Difficulty sleeping - Fatigue/low energy
- Irregular periods - Weight gain - Low libido - Infertility - PMS symptoms
- Low libido - Erectile dysfunction - Muscle loss - Fatigue - Depression
Bioidentical hormone therapy provides hormone levels optimized to the individual’s physiology and needs. Benefits may include:
- Reduced hot flashes and night sweats - Improved sleep - Increased energy levels - Healthier weight/body composition - Stronger bones - Improved sexual function
- Balanced mood - Reduced anxiety and irritability - Improved cognition - Increased self-confidence
- Cardiovascular benefits - Decreased risk factors for heart disease - Cancer prevention - Decreased risk of reproductive system cancers - Bone protection - Reduced risk of osteoporosis - Metabolic benefits - Improved blood sugar control and reduced diabetes risk
There are a variety of bioidentical hormone options to meet each patient's needs:
Estrogen is available in pills, patches, gels/creams, vaginal rings, and pellet implants. Compounded, personalized preparations can optimize absorption.
Progesterone helps balance estrogen’s effects. It is commonly prescribed as an oral capsule, vaginal gel, or sublingual tablet.
Testosterone treatments such as gels, injections, pellets, or patches may help men and women suffering from low testosterone levels.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a precursor hormone that declines with age. Supplementation can enhance energy, mood, libido, and cognition.
The hormone melatonin helps regulate sleep/wake cycles and metabolism. Supplementation can improve sleep quality.
Thyroid hormone (T3/T4) and growth hormone therapies may also be beneficial for some patients.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded to match the molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced in the human body. This allows for more personalized dosing and may help mitigate side effects that some women experience with synthetic hormone preparations.
Age-related hormone decline is common, but often goes undiagnosed and untreated due to inadequate awareness of hormone health. The effects of hormone imbalance compound over time if left unchecked. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment of hormone deficiencies is key to optimizing wellness and preventing chronic disease.
Comprehensive lab testing is necessary to evaluate individual hormone levels and determine if BHRT may be indicated. Balance & Renew Clinic provides state-of-the-art diagnostics to accurately identify hormone imbalances.
Restoring hormones to optimal ranges has widespread benefits. Engaging in BHRT early on maximizes treatment outcomes in the long run. Our practitioners develop customized treatment plans using FDA-approved bioidentical hormones tailored to each patient's physiology and needs.
Regular follow-up labs help ensure hormones are balanced properly over time. We monitor patients closely and make dosage adjustments accordingly. Nuanced fine-tuning of hormones is what makes bioidentical HRT so much more effective than conventional one-size-fits-all approaches.
