Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has become an increasingly popular option for both men and women looking to correct hormone imbalances related to aging or other medical conditions. Balance Health Clinic specializes in customized BHRT protocols to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance, health, and quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are typically derived from plant sources and are biologically equivalent to our endogenous hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, etc. BHRT utilizes these natural hormone analogues to supplement declining levels, helping to mitigate unpleasant symptoms related to hormonal imbalance.
Key benefits of bioidentical over synthetic hormone options include:
The first step in considering bioidentical hormone replacement is diagnosing any underlying hormone deficiencies or imbalances contributing to suboptimal health and wellness.
Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance may include:
Diagnostic lab testing provides objective data on current hormone levels in the body compared to optimal ranges. Blood, saliva, or urine samples may be used.
Based on test results and symptom evaluation, BHRT protocols can be customized to address individual needs.
Declining estrogen is a hallmark of perimenopause and menopause. Low progesterone is also common. Replacement with bioidentical hormones can provide immense relief.
Estrogen helps regulate menstrual cycles and reproductive health. It also positively impacts:
Estrogen deficiency contributes to hot flashes, night sweats, sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency, osteoporosis, and heart disease risk.
Bioidentical estrogen , properly dosed, can effectively treat these issues.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen, facilitating menstrual cycles and pregnancy. It supports:
Declining progesterone can lead to anxiety, insomnia, infertility, PCOS, low bone density, and abnormal uterine bleeding.
Bioidentical progesterone helps restore optimal hormonal balance.
Testosterone, known as the "male" hormone, plays key roles in both men and women related to:
Low testosterone (Low T) can negatively impact:
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age - sometimes drastically so. Supplemental testosterone therapy (TRT) may provide tremendous benefits for both sexes deficient in this key hormone.
TRT remedies include: - Testosterone injections - Most common - Oral testosterone - Sublingual, topical preparations - Testosterone pellets
When clinically indicated and properly administered, testosterone therapy can help patients regain eroded vitality, confidence, strength and health.
Beyond the major sex hormones - estrogen, progesterone and testosterone - optimized endocrine health depends on properly functioning:
Imbalances involving these critical organs can sabotage even balanced sex hormone dosing.
Comprehensive hormone panels and imaging tests help uncover dysfunction affecting:
Supported by diagnostic findings, we provide cutting-edge therapies including:
Holistic endocrine rehabilitation, addressing all hormonal interdependencies, helps patients heal on multiple levels simultaneously.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-formulated to match a woman's natural hormone profile. Studies show bioidentical estradiol may carry less risk of blood clots and stroke than traditional estrogen replacement. More research is still needed to fully understand the long-term effects of bioidentical hormones.
While bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) provides the biological precursors needed to catalyze improved wellbeing, certain lifestyle measures support and enhance results.
We recommend:
