Bioidentical hormones are substances that have the exact same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions helps restore optimal balance.
At Wellness Hormone Clinic, our highly trained medical staff can provide customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). We compile for each patient the optimal combination of estrogens, testosterone and other hormones based on their lab tests and symptoms.
The first step is having the right hormone tests to uncover any deficiencies. We utilize advanced testing methods to measure levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Blood, saliva or urine samples may be used.
Based on the test results and reported symptoms, our practitioners can pinpoint which hormones need replenishment. Ongoing monitoring helps ensure hormone levels are optimized over time.
Balancing hormones with bioidentical versions offers wide-ranging benefits. Patients often report improvements in:
In addition to relieving troublesome menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness, balancing hormones can also impact chronic issues like heart health and bone density.
Hormones impact nearly every cell and system within the body. No two patients require the exact same protocol. We customize care based on:
Age - Requirements change over time
Symptoms - Each person experiences deficiencies differently
Lifestyle - Factors like fitness level and stress
Health history - Considering risk factors and conditions
Preferences - Route of administration, dose, etc.
We partner with specialty compounding pharmacies to prepare each patient's customized bioidentical hormone combinations. Ongoing fine-tuning ensures optimal balance is maintained long-term.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body. However, some studies suggest that popular compounded bioidenticals may have issues with purity, potency and consistency compared to FDA-approved bioidenticals from pharmaceutical companies. More research is still needed on the long-term safety and efficacy.
Aging causes hormone levels to naturally decline over time. But balancing key hormones through replacement therapy can help patients feel youthful and vibrant at any age. Restoring optimal hormone levels also reduces risks for various chronic health issues.
Rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach, we focus on truly personalized care at Wellness Hormone Clinic. No two patients have the exact same needs. By carefully listening and developing custom treatment plans, we can help patients enjoy an improved quality of life.
