Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminishing hormones with bioidentical versions can relieve issues like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and more.
The first step is diagnosing any imbalances with comprehensive lab testing. Common deficiencies include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and more. Our knowledgeable practitioners analyze results to create customized treatment protocols aimed at optimal health and wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively and safely restore lagging hormone levels. BHRT solutions come in topical creams, oral capsules, injectables and pellet implants. We personalize delivery methods and dosing to meet each patient's unique needs and preferences.
Rebalancing hormones with bioidentical HRT produces wide-ranging benefits like:
Bioidentical estrogens and progesterone provide welcome relief from hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods and more during perimenopause and menopause.
Optimal hormone levels promote deeper, more restorative sleep, leaving patients feeling refreshed and energized. This enhances mood, concentration and ability to handle daily stressors.
Many patients report reinvigorated libidos after beginning bioidentical testosterone and/or DHEA therapy. For women, estrogen and progesterone also play important sexual health roles.
Proper hormone activity helps regulate appetite cues, burn fat, build muscle mass and process nutrients efficiently. Patients find it easier to achieve and maintain healthy weights.
Balanced hormones keep serotonin, dopamine and other key neurotransmitters flowing smoothly. This minimizes anxiety and depression while stabilizing mood. Memory and concentration also improve.
Bioidentical hormones therapy may lower risks for serious conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, dementia and certain cancers later in life.
Optimal estrogen levels help skin retain moisture and collagen while testosterone promotes thicker hair. Patients report more youthful, vibrant appearances.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
