Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are custom-compounded, plant-derived hormones that are bioequivalent to endogenous human hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance and decline.
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over traditional synthetic versions:
Synthetics cannot replicate the nuanced signaling of native human hormones. Well-chosen bioidentical regimens can restore balance.
Comprehensive lab testing is crucial for assessing hormone levels and pinpointing imbalances. The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic profiles key hormones and biomarkers to develop customized treatments. Testing enables safe, effective bioidentical HRT.
Declining estrogen often causes:
Estrogen regulates over 400 bodily processes in females, so imbalances contribute to multiple concerns. BHRT can replenish estrogen to alleviate symptoms.
Estrogen replacement therapy delivers remarkable benefits:
The custom-blended estrogens at The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic effectively mitigate estrogen deficiency.
Testosterone powers libido, energy, muscle mass, motivation and more in both men and women. Yet most testosterone decline occurs in men due to:
Detecting diminishing testosterone early is key to intervening before major impacts occur.
Male and female patients alike observe profound improvements from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT):
The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic artfully balances testosterone with estrogens and DHEA for optimal restoration.
All The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic patients start with an extensive blood panel assessing hormones, biomarkers, lipids, nutrients and more. Our clinicians review results to identify required hormones and ideal starting doses. We comprehensively monitor patients and judiciously adjust regimens until optimal balance and symptom relief are achieved. This careful initiation prevents overdose risks and maximizes benefits.
We craft personalized bioidentical hormones in our on-site compounding lab. Estrogens, progesterone and testosterone are available in oral tablets, sublingual drops, topical creams or injectable forms to suit each patient's needs and preferences. Pellet implants that release steady hormone levels are also wonderfully effective for some patients. We offer both individual and combination preparations to precisely balance different hormones.
Patients undergo follow-up blood tests at regular intervals to confirm hormone levels are within ideal ranges. We also closely track symptom improvements and any side effects. This vigilance lets our clinicians know if adjustments in type, dose or delivery method could further enhance results. Patients receive supportive guidance each step of the way for successful BHRT.
Acting at first signs of hormone changes prevents progression to more severe disease. Declines often start subtly but can cascade over months to years into seriously low, dysfunctional levels. The sooner treatment commences, the more easily balanced and symptoms controlled. Delay allows progressive loss of quality of life.
Hormone deficiency substantially elevates dangers for anxiety, depression, weight gain, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, autoimmunity and dementia. Restoring balance promptly reduces these elevated risks before tissue damage or disease processes advance too far. Don’t resign yourself to preventable illness - take charge of your health!
Why tolerate unpleasant menopause or andropause changes that could readily be minimized or reversed? Sexual issues, energy lulls, fitness declines, emotional swings and sleep disruption all profoundly impact quality of life. Bioidentical HRT lets both women and men reclaim their vitality and enjoyment of life at any age.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded to match a woman's natural hormone profile. This tailored approach aims to provide relief from menopause symptoms while avoiding risks associated with one-size-fits-all conventional therapy.
