Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels often decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can help restore optimal hormone balance and vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded in a hormone compounding pharmacy using plant-derived hormones that are molecularly similar to human hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more. This allows the hormones to be recognized and utilized by the body just like native hormones.
Replacing age-related hormone declines through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) provides extensive benefits. Patients report improvements in:
Additionally, balancing hormones with BHRT helps regulate crucial biological processes like metabolism, reproduction, growth and immunity by maintaining ideal levels within the body.
Patients exhibiting age-related declines in vitality along with multiple hormone deficiency symptoms are candidates for HRT.
Common symptoms signaling the need for treatment include:
Experiencing multiple deficiency symptoms simultaneously often indicates declining hormone levels. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is crucial for restoring optimal wellness and preventing long-term complications.
The first step is diagnostic testing to accurately identify individual hormone levels. Hormone Harmony Clinic partners with top local labs to provide comprehensive screening.
Recommended baseline tests include:
Testing may reveal specific hormone imbalances to target with customized treatment plans. Follow-up testing during therapy helps ensure optimal dosing.
Accurately diagnosing hormone imbalance is critical prior to pursuing treatment. Hormone Harmony Clinic offers convenient local testing options to uncover root causes of symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
After testing confirms hormone deficiency, Hormone Harmony Clinic physicians develop tailored regimens to restore balance through bioidentical replacement.
Treatment plans may include:
- Biest (mix of Estradiol/Estrone) - Estriol - Estradiol patches/pellets
- Progesterone capsules - Progesterone cream
Therapies for both men (hypogonadism) and women (low T).
- T3/T4 medications - Armour® Thyroid
Hormone Harmony Clinic physicians have extensive expertise creating individualized bioidentical hormone replacement protocols targeting deficiency symptoms.
Complementing hormone therapy with healthy lifestyle changes can enhance results. Recommendations include:
Nutrition: Follow an anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, lean proteins and fiber. Limit sugar and processed carbs which provoke inflammation.
Exercise: Incorporate both cardio and strength training into weekly routines. Check out local gyms like Total Fitness, Peak Performance Fitness, and James' Training Station.
Stress Management: Chronic stress raises cortisol which can negatively impact hormones. Practice regular self-care through massage, acupuncture, therapy, yoga classes, hiking at Apex Park, etc.
Sleep Hygiene: Hormone function is closely tied to circadian rhythms. Focus on adequate sleep quality through consistent bedtimes/wake times, limiting blue light exposure before bed, etc.
Toxin Avoidance: Reduce exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals in plastic containers, skincare/beauty products, processed foods and more.
Given the extensive systemic influence of hormones, imbalances can trigger widespread symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Additionally, unaddressed declines can increase risks for severe health conditions like:
Restoring hormone deficits through timely testing and properly customized therapies is crucial for supporting integral body processes that maintain wellness and vitality.
