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. Bioidentical hormone therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels alleviating symptoms and promoting better health.
Bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded in a lab from plant sources to match the exact chemical structure of hormones made by the ovaries and testes before menopause and andropause. They are biochemically indistinguishable from our own hormones.
The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones include:
Bioidentical hormone therapy can effectively treat symptoms of menopause, andropause, PCOS and other hormone imbalances. Let's explore the key topics in depth.
Bioidentical hormone therapy provides many benefits for both women and men by optimizing hormone levels.
Balancing hormones can lead to a dramatic improvement in quality of life. Patients report:
Bioidentical hormones can effectively eliminate unpleasant menopausal and andropausal symptoms like:
Optimizing hormones may help prevent chronic diseases like:
The first step is diagnosing any hormone deficiencies through lab testing. We utilize advanced hormone tests to check levels of:
Test results are carefully evaluated to determine which bioidentical hormone therapy is best suited for the individual patient.
After testing confirms a hormone imbalance, we create a customized treatment plan designed to restore optimal hormone levels.
There are different methods to deliver bioidentical hormones:
Dosages start low and are gradually adjusted based on patient feedback and follow up lab results to achieve ideal hormone balance for the individual.
Follow up assessments are conducted to ensure treatment effectiveness and modify protocols as needed. We also provide lifestyle and nutritional counseling for better results.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to conventional hormone therapy.

Many adults over 35 struggle with hormonal issues. Common symptoms include:
Bioidentical hormone therapy effectively alleviates these symptoms improving vitality and overall wellness. Both women and men can benefit.
As women approach menopause, production of estrogen slows leading to unpleasant effects. Declining estrogen levels cause most menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal atrophy etc.
Restoring estradiol and estrone with properly balanced bioidentical estrogen therapy relieves menopause symptoms. Note estrogen alone can increase cancer risks for those with a uterus so progesterone is also prescribed.
We offer estradiol in different potencies and forms like pills, patches, gels and pellets. Personalized therapy is tailored to your needs for optimal comfort and safety.
Progesterone is crucial for both women and men. In females, progesterone works synergistically with estrogens, supporting menstruation and pregnancy. It counters estrogen’s proliferative effects on the uterus lining, reducing cancer risks.
Progesterone plays vital roles in men:
We provide bioidentical progesterone creams, pills and pellets designed to optimize levels.
Although known as the "male" hormone, testosterone is important for both men and women. Low testosterone (Low T) can cause:
- Loss of libido - Erectile dysfunction - Reduced muscle mass - More belly fat, less energy - Mood issues like depression
- Low libido - Fatigue - Osteoporosis - Memory lapses - Loss of muscle tone
Male andropause and advancing age causes declining testosterone. Optimizing levels with bioidentical testosterone therapy alleviates Low T symptoms.
We provide creams, injections and oral testosterone customized for your needs. More intensive pellet implants can also be a good solution.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor our bodies use to manufacture crucial sex hormones. DHEA provides many benefits:
Both men and women experience declining DHEA with age. Our clinic offers custom-formulated bioidentical DHEA to restore youthful vitality. Creams, pills and dissolvable versions allow easy use.
Hormone levels decline very gradually. Symptoms emerge subtly and intensify slowly over months and years. Changes are often wrongly attributed to natural aging. Failing to recognize hormonal imbalance leads to needless suffering.
Seeking timely treatment is critical for the best results and most complete restoration of wellness and vitality. The sooner balance is restored, the easier it is to regain optimal functioning. Delaying can make treatment less effective.
We recommend adults have regular hormone checks beginning around age 35. Testing is quick and easy. If declining hormones are detected, bioidentical therapy can help get levels back to an ideal range well before major health consequences emerge.
