Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the human body. This differs from synthetic hormones, which can have a slightly different molecular structure. At Renew Hormone Clinic, we provide bioidentical hormones to help patients restore optimal hormonal balance and alleviate deficiency symptoms.
Potential benefits of properly administered bioidentical hormone therapy include:
However, results vary based on the patient's unique health profile. Our experienced practitioners carefully evaluate each patient to determine if bioidentical hormones are appropriate. We never take a "one size fits all" approach.
Detecting hormonal imbalances early on is key. We thoroughly assess patients exhibiting deficiency signs like:
In addition to a medical history and physical examination, we utilize hormone tests to check levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and DHEA. Once we have confirmed a deficiency, customized treatment plans are developed to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance through bioidentical hormone therapy.
While synthetic hormone replacement medication is standardized, bioidentical hormone treatment is tailored to the individual. We take the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient's needs, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. This enables us to develop fully customized prescriptions featuring optimal dosages and delivery methods.
For example, some patients respond very well to oral bioidentical hormones, while others benefit more from creams, gels, pellets, or injections. We determine the ideal delivery method based on the patient's health profile. Dosages start low and are slowly adjusted based on follow-up testing and evaluations.
In addition to prescribing bioidentical hormone treatment, we also provide patients with guidance to support the best possible outcome, such as:
Adopting a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, minimizing stress, and getting enough quality sleep helps bioidentical hormones work at peak efficiency. We offer tips for making sustainable lifestyle enhancements.
Hormone levels fluctuate, so it’s important to periodically recheck levels with blood or saliva testing. We schedule follow-up assessments to determine if dosages require adjustment.
Our patients always have access to our practitioners for questions or concerns about their treatment plan or results. We remain closely involved throughout each stage of therapy to ensure optimal outcomes.
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 estrogen and progesterone.
When it comes to something as delicate as hormonal balance, expertise and experience matter. Our practitioners have extensive training in anti-aging medicine, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. We've already helped numerous patients find relief from deficiency symptoms and regain their vitality.
We also develop fully customized treatment plans based on each patient's unique health profile - not a generic, one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal is to help you achieve noticeable improvements to your quality of life, energy levels, sexual health, emotional wellbeing, and more.
