Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can provide relief by restoring balance.
Bioidentical hormones used for therapy include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, melatonin, and others. They are custom-formulated in a compounding pharmacy using plant-derived hormones that match human hormones on a molecular level.
The first step is having hormone levels tested to identify deficiencies or imbalances contributing to symptoms. Based on test results, bioidentical hormones are prescribed in physiologic doses to supplement what the body lacks. Follow-up testing helps tailor doses to the individual.
Ongoing monitoring ensures optimal levels are maintained long-term for maximum benefits. We collaborate with high-quality local labs to provide convenient hormone testing for patients.
Bioidentical hormone therapy provides an array of benefits including relief of uncomfortable symptoms related to menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormone imbalances:
- Hot flashes/night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Sleep disruption - Mood changes - Low motivation/energy
- Low libido - Erectile dysfunction - Decreased muscle mass - Depression - Fatigue
Balancing hormones can also have protective effects on long-term health, such as maintaining bone mineral density, heart health, and brain function.
We take a patient-centered approach when developing bioidentical hormone therapy protocols. After thorough evaluation and testing, hormones are prescribed in carefully calibrated doses to match your individual needs and health goals.
Follow-up assessments occur regularly to monitor progress and adjust prescriptions accordingly. We also provide lifestyle guidance to support healthy habits. A customized plan results in the best possible outcomes.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced by the body, yet some studies show they may carry similar health risks as synthetic hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the long-term safety and efficacy profiles of these customized treatments.
