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 unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminished hormones with bioidentical versions can potentially restore wellness and vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are sourced from plant compounds and custom-formulated in compounding pharmacies to match human hormones exactly. This differs from conventional hormone replacement using synthetic or animal-derived hormones with slightly different structures.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help relieve symptoms like:
Custom-compounded bioidentical hormones come in multiple natural forms that mimic the body’s own hormones. They are available as pills, creams, gels, sublingual drops, pellets, patches, and injections.
BHRT uses the lowest effective dose, adapted over time to the individual’s needs via follow-up testing. Close provider oversight helps ensure optimal hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
Since hormone balance is highly individualized, testing is needed to determine if BHRT is appropriate. We first do blood tests to measure current hormone values, then use these lab results to develop a customized treatment plan aiming to restore optimal levels.
Hormonal balance changes with age, stress, medications, health conditions, lifestyle choices, and other factors. Imbalances often cause vague yet disruptive symptoms that reduce quality of life.
Restoring balance through BHRT can potentially:
Common hormones tested prior to developing a customized BHRT plan include:
Estrogen – Exists in multiple forms with different effects (Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone). Declining estrogen leads to hot flashes, vaginal dryness, accelerated aging, bone loss, heart disease risks.
Progesterone – Works synergistically with estrogen to balance the monthly menstrual cycle. Declines during perimenopause/menopause. Low levels associate with anxiety, sleep disruption, weight gain, fuzzy thinking.
Testosterone – Essential for libido, energy, lean muscle mass, mental acuity in both men (andropause) and women (menopause). Low testosterone increases risks for obesity, early mortality, and neurodegenerative disease.
Thyroid (T3, T4) – Influences every cell. Low thyroid slows metabolism, causes weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, depression, fertility issues.
DHEA – Precursor of estrogen and testosterone. Declines dramatically with age. DHEA enhances vitality, mood, bone density, inflammatory balance.
Vitamin D – Critical for resilient long-term health. Low levels associate with many chronic diseases. Ideal range is 50-70 ng/ml.
Custom testing helps identify your current hormone levels and pinpoint areas of imbalance. Addressing deficiencies and declinations through professional BHRT allows you to target bothersome symptoms at their root cause.
