Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical versions can provide relief by restoring optimal levels.
Bioidentical hormones are sourced from plant estrogens and customized to match your individual hormonal needs through compounding. They are natural as opposed to synthetic hormones with slightly altered structures.
Hormone deficiency occurs when hormone production falls below optimal ranges, leading to imbalance. Common causes include natural aging, surgery, chronic stress, poor diet, and other lifestyle factors.
Deficiency symptoms can be vague and vary widely between patients but often include:
Left untreated, symptoms tend to worsen over time significantly impacting quality of life.
Replacing deficient hormones helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms by restoring them to healthier levels thereby regaining balance and optimal functioning.
Custom-compounded bioidentical hormones are biochemically identical to what your body produces naturally. This makes them easier to absorb and less likely to cause side effects than synthetic versions.
Patients report improved energy, sleep, mood, cognitive function, skin elasticity, weight management, and libido after starting therapy. For many, it can provide a better overall quality of life.
Our compassionate practitioners have extensive training and expertise in bioidentical hormone therapy (BRT). We take time to listen and create fully customized plans based on your unique needs.
After comprehensive lab testing, we prescribe a personalized combination of bioidentical estrogens, testosterones, DHEA and other hormones meticulously compounded in our onsite pharmacy.
We closely monitor progress through follow-up visits and labs adjusting prescriptions accordingly. We are with you every step of the way ensuring optimal outcomes.
The first step is diagnosing hormone deficiency. We utilize advanced testing to check levels of key hormones and uncover specific deficiencies.
In addition to lab tests, we evaluate presenting symptoms which can indicate hormone issues:
We test the following hormones using blood, saliva or urine samples:
Understanding where your hormone levels stand is crucial for developing an tailored and effective treatment solution.
Once deficiency is confirmed through testing, we design a personalized bioidentical hormone replacement plan just for you.
Treatment involves replacing deficient hormones to restore optimal balance minimizing symptoms and regaining wellness.
We prescribe high quality bioidentical hormones - not synthetic - precisely matched to your hormonal needs and metabolization rates for optimal absorption. Hormones are delivered through creams, pills or pellets based on your preference.
Initial doses start low and increase gradually monitoring progress until ideal levels and symptom relief are achieved. Follow up testing determines any dosage adjustments needed over time.
Close provider supervision ensures effectiveness and safety. We modify protocols as needed adapting to your changing physiology for the best results.
Declining estrogen and progesterone cause some of the most disruptive deficiency symptoms in aging women.
Estrogen exists in multiple forms. Estradiol addresses hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes and vaginal symptoms. Estrone boosts postmenopausal vitality. Ratio matters - we determine your optimal balance.
Progesterone works synergistically by regulating estrogen’s effects. It promotes sleep, mental acuity, normal cycles and uterine health. We compound prescriptions with precise progesterone matching estrogens preventing estrogen dominance.
Together, balanced bioidentical estrogen and progesterone provide significant relief enhancing wellbeing and vitality.
Testosterone treatments replenish declining levels alleviating symptoms for both women and men.
In women, testosterone enhances sex drive and pleasure, energy, strength, stamina, bone density, memory and mood.
For men, restoring testosterone relieves erectile dysfunction, shrinkage, mood disorders, lack of drive, low energy, mental fog, weight gain and muscle loss.
We prescribe bioidentical testosterone as gels, pellets or injections in carefully crafted doses optimized to your needs. Follow up testing ensures ideal levels are maintained long term.
Balanced testosterone offers transformative restoration - mentally, physically and sexually - for aging adults.
Certain lifestyle measures can enhance hormone therapy results and overall wellbeing during treatment:
Eat a nutritious whole foods diet high in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. Limit sugar, processed carbs and alcohol which disrupt hormone balance. Stay hydrated drinking plenty of filtered water.
Engage in regular physical activity tailored to your abilities and fitness level. A combination of resistance training and aerobics provides optimal benefits. Even gentle activities like walking boost immunity and mental health.
Find healthy ways to manage life’s inevitable stresses to protect hormone function. Practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, journaling and nature exposure encourage relaxation activating restorative physiological mechanisms.
Get at least 7 hours of quality sleep nightly allowing hormones that regenerate at night to restore balance. Go to bed and wake up at consistent times. Limit electronics before bed and create a restful sleep environment.
Adopting healthy supportive lifestyle habits combines with bioidentical therapy for amplified improvements regaining optimal wellness.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide relief from menopause symptoms just as well as traditional hormone therapy, without some of the risks. Plant-based progesterone helps build bone density, improving osteoporosis more than medroxyprogesterone, a common synthetic progestin.
