Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. As we age, hormone levels often decline, contributing to symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones can provide relief.
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy may include reduced hot flashes, improved sleep, increased energy, enhanced libido, improved mood, increased bone density, reduced risk of heart disease and dementia. Treatment is customized based on symptoms and lab testing.
Options for delivery include pills, creams, gels, pellets and patches. Compounded, customized preparations precisely match a patient's needs.
Symptoms suggesting hormonal changes include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, depression and loss of focus.
Lab tests help identify deficiencies in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Testing levels over time determines optimal dosage.
Consult a specialist to order the appropriate lab tests, interpret results and develop an effective, personalized treatment plan.
An experienced hormone specialist tailors treatment to your unique physiology and labs, prescribing the lowest dose to relieve symptoms.
They can compound personalized preparations in pills, creams or gels for precision dosing. This customization helps optimize results and minimize side effects.
Follow up lab testing ensures adequate hormone levels are achieved and maintained long-term without overshooting targets. Dosage adjustments may be needed periodically.
Healthy lifestyle choices — like improving nutrition, reducing stress, getting quality sleep and exercising regularly — support hormone health and may reduce the dosage needed.
