Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are often used in hormone replacement therapy to supplement declining hormone levels associated with aging and other medical conditions.
Unlike synthetic hormones like birth control pills or Premarin, which are chemically altered, bioidentical hormones are biochemically similar to your body's own hormones. This allows them to integrate into your body's natural hormonal feedback systems. Benefits include:
Bioidentical hormones like estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are typically derived from plant sources. Using advanced biochemical engineering processes, the molecular structure is modified to create an identical match to human hormones.
When bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) first became available, there were questions about its safety and efficacy. However, studies over the last two decades have shown that bioidentical hormones have a high safety profile and are equally or more effective than synthetic versions.
Declining hormone levels affect both men and women. Often declining sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone are to blame. Deficiencies in these key hormones often open the door to unpleasant symptoms and negative health effects.
Common deficiency symptoms for men and women include:
In women, the rapid decline of estrogen and progesterone associated with perimenopause and menopause is a common culprit. Deficiencies in these hormones can lead to symptoms like vaginal dryness and painful intercourse too.
Left untreated, hormone deficiencies may increase risks for serious health conditions like:
Proper testing and early intervention is key to getting deficiency symptoms under control, improving quality of life, and reducing future health risks.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using customized bioidentical hormones can often successfully treat deficiency symptoms and reverse adverse health outcomes.
Through blood and saliva testing, our clinicians can measure your hormone levels and determine if and where deficiencies exist. We then develop customized treatment plans consisting of bioidentical hormone creams, patches, pellets or injectables in the needed dosages. Follow ups monitor progress and make dosage adjustments as needed.
We prescribe bioidentical versions of key hormones including:
Estrogen - Supplements low estrogen levels in peri and postmenopausal women to eliminate menopausal symptoms and promote bone, heart and brain health.
Progesterone - Used alongside estrogen to balance its effects in the body, lowering cancer risk.
Testosterone - For men, boosts libido, sexual performance, energy, muscle mass and mood.
Other hormones - Can prescribe bioidentical DHEA, melatonin, thyroid hormone if testing indicates need.
We carefully tailor dosing to your age, sex, health status, lifestyle and job obligations. This includes:
Treating hormone deficiencies properly takes finesse and customization guided by testing and monitoring. There are also lifestyle factors that support HRT success.
Successfully managing hormone deficiencies starts with proper testing and diagnosis. Symptoms can show up for many reasons - not just low hormones.
We identify deficiencies by testing key hormones using:
Every hormone therapy regimen is fully customized to the unique needs of each patient based on:
Body chemistry - hormone levels and ratios, genetic differences
Symptoms - severity, impacts on quality of life
Risk Factors - health conditions, cancer susceptibility genes
Lifestyle - obligations, activity levels, goals
Customization allows optimal balance of hormone supplementation aligned to your body’s needs.
Lifestyle changes can enhance hormone therapy effectiveness by:
Healthy lifestyle choices keep your body chemistry primed for success. We provide customized diet and lifestyle guidance.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. However, studies show that while they may help relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, they do not appear to be safer or more effective than synthetic hormone therapy for other health issues like heart disease or cancer risk.
