Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminished hormones with bioidenticals can help restore optimal levels, allowing patients to feel more youthful, energized, and healthy.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) from Harmony Hormone Center custom-blends hormones specific to your unique physiology. BHRT effectively relieves symptoms of hormonal imbalance while supporting long-term vitality. Read on to learn the basics of bioidentical hormones and how they can transform your life.
Declining hormone levels affect both men and women. The most common imbalances relate to testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormone. Symptoms arise gradually and intensify over time. People experiencing issues like low libido, hot flashes, fatigue, mental fogginess, irritability, anxiety, weight gain, muscular atrophy, and insomnia likely suffer from a hormonal deficiency.
BHRT replenishes your body’s natural hormones to alleviate unpleasant symptoms and help you feel youthful again. Our practitioners carefully evaluate blood tests, medical history, genetics, symptoms, and lifestyle to determine an optimal treatment plan. Custom-blended bioidentical hormones then restore balance from within.
Bioidentical hormones offer life-changing benefits when prescribed properly and monitored regularly. Patients report improvements like:
Patients see best results when combining BHRT with a nutritious diet, regular exercise, stress reduction practices, and appropriate supplements. Our practitioners provide comprehensive lifestyle recommendations customized to your needs.
Detecting hormonal decline early is crucial for excellent treatment outcomes. Talk to your doctor if experiencing any of the following:
Do not brush off subtle symptoms or attribute them solely to aging. Identifying declining hormones early allows for better outcomes with replacement therapy. Our practitioners will order labs to accurately diagnose any deficiencies.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to conventional hormone therapy.
Bioidentical hormones come from plant sources and feature the identical chemical structures as hormones produced by humans. This allows precise customization based on your hormonal balance and genes.
BHRT practitioners take a holistic approach when evaluating hormone levels. They review genetics, symptoms, medical history and diagnostic testing rather than solely relying on a reference lab range. Treatment plans aim to optimize hormones for ideal functioning, not just push them into “normal” ranges.
We recommend starting with creams or oral forms for precise tweakability. If optimal levels remain steady over several months, pellets or injections provide greater convenience.
Follow-up testing determines if adjustments are needed. Most patients feel significantly better around three months into treatment, with further improvements over six to nine months.
Ongoing monitoring ensures hormones are optimized for your changing physiology over the years. We partner with patients for life to support sustained vitality.
