Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to signs and symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life. Common deficiency signs include:
Catching and addressing hormone imbalances early on can help both men and women avoid developing more disruptive signs and symptoms down the road. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to answer questions and evaluate hormone levels through simple blood tests.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves restoring hormones to optimal levels using plant-based hormones that are molecularly identical to those made in the human body. This approach can effectively alleviate deficiency symptoms and help patients feel their best.
Some key things to know:
Our clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement for both women and men. Our compassionate practitioners spend ample time listening and designing fully personalized plans to meet each patient's needs.
Balancing hormones with bioidentical therapy provides wide-ranging benefits, from relieving frustrating menopausal or andropausal symptoms to improving long-term health. For many, it can enhance enjoyment of life and allow people to continue engaging in the activities they love.
For optimal effects, we recommend starting therapy shortly after hormone levels begin to decline rather than waiting until major disruption occurs. The sooner treatment begins, the more effectively it can help patients maintain wellness.
Declining estrogen and progesterone levels are responsible for most menopause symptoms that disrupt women's lives. Restoring these key feminizing hormones can transform health and quality of life.
We offer bioidentical 17 beta-estradiol (estrogen) and progesterone in various high quality forms such as oral pills, sublingual drops, topical creams, vaginal suppositories and more. These can be used alone or in combination depending on each woman's needs and lab results:
Estrogen
Progesterone
The appropriate regimen is highly individual - our practitioners will meet with patients, evaluate needs, order labs, and design fully customized plans for balancing hormones in a safe, effective way. Follow up appointments allow for continual monitoring and dosage adjustments as needed.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors and potentially result in fewer side effects, though more research is still needed to confirm this.
Testosterone is the primary masculinizing hormone. In men, low testosterone causes frustrating symptoms that can significantly reduce one’s zest for life. Our clinic offers bioidentical testosterone to help men regain their vitality.
We provide testosterone in several high quality delivery methods such as injections, topical gels and creams. Our knowledgeable practitioners assess each patient’s needs and preferences to determine optimal dosing method and treatment plan.
Benefits of testosterone therapy include:
Testosterone works synergistically with other key hormones like thyroid and growth hormone for full vitality. We offer comprehensive testing and holistic balancing of all major hormones.
Follow up blood tests allow for continually optimizing dosages to meet treatment goals without excess. We also provide all required testing and documentation for insurance coverage when applicable.
The thyroid gland produces hormones that influence nearly all physiological processes. Low thyroid function causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, bowel issues, muscle pain, depression, and more.
We provide desiccated thyroid hormone replacement for underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). This natural thyroid hormone contains T4, T3, T2 and calcitonin - the full spectrum found in a healthy human thyroid gland.
Benefits include:
Thyroid blood tests help determine appropriate dosing levels. Patients start with a low dose that is gradually increased based on symptom response and lab results, avoiding overstimulation. Follow ups allow for continually optimizing treatment.
For those with low thyroid function, balancing this master gland hormone can mean the difference between vitality and frustration. We’re here to help patients address thyroid deficiency for improved wellbeing.
Hormone levels decline slowly over time. Deficiency often develops gradually until patients suddenly realize their health is eroding. Treating hormone imbalances early on provides significantly more benefit than waiting until major disruption occurs.
Key reasons to pursue treatment without delay:
We encourage men and women to proactively monitor hormones with periodic blood tests. Starting treatment promptly when levels drop below optimal ranges provides the best opportunity for excellent outcomes.
