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 of hormone imbalance that can greatly reduce quality of life. Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy can help restore optimal levels, thereby relieving symptoms and promoting better health.
Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical hormones offers numerous benefits including:
In essence, balancing hormones with bioidentical therapy can help people feel, look and live significantly better.
Bioidentical hormones are plant-based hormones that are biologically identical to endogenous human hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. They are custom-compounded in a lab to match your individual hormonal needs based on symptoms and blood tests.
Because bioidentical hormones are identical to the body’s own hormones, they bind perfectly with cellular receptors and metabolize just like native hormones. This gives them the ability to restore optimal hormonal levels, thereby reducing deficiency and providing complete normalization of hormone activity in the body.
Hormone optimization experts customize treatment plans consisting of just the right bioidentical hormones in just the right combinations, doses and delivery methods to suit each patient’s unique needs. This personalized precision medicine approach provides optimal therapeutic results as compared to traditional one-size-fits all approaches.
Ongoing monitoring ensures hormones remain balanced at ideal levels to provide maximum health benefits and prevent adverse effects from over or under dosing.
The first step is getting diagnostic lab testing to check hormone levels. Blood, saliva or urine can be tested to measure your current levels of key hormones like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol.
Based on your symptoms and test results, your hormone doctor will be able to diagnose specific deficiencies or imbalances.
Testing 4-5 key hormones provides a comprehensive snapshot of your overall hormonal environment to identify areas needing balancing.
Follow-up testing occurs periodically to monitor your levels and ensure optimal balances are maintained with treatment. Testing also checks for nutritional deficiencies common with hormone imbalance like low vitamin D, B12, etc., allowing for customized supplementation protocols.
Local labs for hormone testing:
"Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body. However, they are still synthetic because while the structure may be the same, they are not derived from a naturally-occurring plant or animal source like traditional medicines. Thus, the term is somewhat misleading despite referring to an identical chemical structure."
Your custom bioidentical hormone therapy will be tailored to your specific lab results, medical history and lifestyle considerations. After a thorough initial evaluation, your hormone doctor will design an individualized replacement plan just for you.
This typically involves a prescription for FDA regulated, lab-madeTroches, topical creams or injectables containing bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, testosterone or/and DHEA in carefully determined combinations and potencies. Thyroid medication may also be included if indicated.
Most patients start with gentle creams or troches to be applied daily. Creams get absorbed through the skin while troches dissolve under the tongue. This allows precise hormone dosing while avoiding harsher delivery methods initially.
Injections or pellets may be incorporated later to simplify administration or provide longer activity. Time released pellets placed under the skin only need replacement every 3-6 months.
Proper administration instructions will be provided and all your questions answered during your consult and follow-ups.
The standard process for initiating bioidentical hormone therapy is:
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress, adjust dosages, and ensure maximum benefits. Repeat lab testing helps confirm optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained.
We also provide lifestyle guidance regarding:
Integrating positive lifestyle habits magnifies the benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy.
