Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels often decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can provide significant benefits.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), using hormones structurally identical to those found naturally in the human body to treat hormone deficiency syndromes and alleviate associated symptoms.
Some of the most common hormone deficiencies we treat include:
The first step is having your hormone levels tested through blood tests, saliva tests or sometimes urine tests. These help determine if your hormones are low or out of balance.
Some common lab tests check levels of:
Accurately diagnosing a hormone deficiency is crucial before beginning hormone replacement therapy. Hormone Harmony Clinic offers state-of-the art testing to pinpoint any imbalances.
Restoring hormones to optimal levels with bioidentical hormones offers a wide range of benefits:
The providers at Hormone Harmony Clinic have over 10 years of experience specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy. We use cutting edge testing and work closely with each patient to develop fully customized treatment plans.
Hormone therapy must be tailored to each individual's needs and biochemical uniqueness. We determine the optimal type, dosage, route of administration and monitoring plan for your BHRT.
Some of the bioidentical hormones we commonly prescribe include:
These bioidentical hormones are available in forms like oral tablets, sublingual drops, topical creams, injectable preparations and pellet implants placed under the skin to release consistent dosages over months. The route we choose depends on your lifestyle, preferences and treatment goals.
We also provide supportive therapies and medications like vitamin supplements, peptides, nutrients, and compounds to help optimize hormone balance and production.
Frequent follow up testing allows us to ensure your hormone levels are being restored to optimal ranges so that you feel your best without negative side effects. We adjust your treatment protocol until your symptoms are relieved and labs show your hormones are balanced.
We also provide ongoing monitoring and lab testing to ensure your customized bioidentical hormone therapy continues working well long-term without the need for frequent dosage adjustments.
Balancing stress levels and adopting healthy lifestyle habits can help support hormone balance and offset syndromes of deficiency:
We provide each patient personalized suggestions about lifestyle factors to optimize their hormone health and wellbeing based on their needs and symptoms.
We provide cutting edge therapies to restore optimal testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormone levels for both men and women.
Testosterone deficiency, known as hypogonadism or low T, becomes increasingly common in men after age 30. Replacing low testosterone can reverse adverse symptoms and long term health consequences.
Benefits of testosterone therapy may include:
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we offer several testosterone therapy options including testosterone creams/gels, injectable testosterone cypionate or enanthate, testosterone pellets, and HCG therapy to stimulate natural production.
We work closely with each patient to determine if testosterone therapy is appropriate, then craft a customized dosage and delivery method to meet treatment goals without side effects. Follow up lab testing ensures testosterone levels are optimized.
Declining estrogen is the hallmark of perimenopause and menopause, causing symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping and emotional changes. Low progesterone causes similar effects and impairs fertility.
Benefits of estrogen/progesterone therapy:
The providers at Hormone Harmony Clinic specialize in multi-hormone replacement for women. We prescribe bioidentical estrogen and progesterone together since they work synergistically.
Delivery methods include oral capsules, sublingual drops, topical gels/creams or sustained release pellet implants. We also address other hormonal issues like low DHEA or testosterone that commonly occur during menopause.
Frequent testing and dosage adjustments ensure you receive the lowest effective dose to optimize symptoms and health while avoiding risks.
Low levels of thyroid hormones like free T3 and T4 can develop due to problems like Hashimoto’s disease, impaired conversion of T4, nutrient deficiencies and some medications. This causes symptoms like fatigue, trouble losing weight, low mood, hair thinning and many more effects.
Replacing deficient thyroid hormones with bioidentical T3/T4 offers tremendous benefits:
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we use advanced testing like free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies to accurately diagnose the cause of low thyroid function. We then craft customized treatment plans which may include:
Thyroid blood tests are checked regularly to ensure you receive the optimal dosage over time as your needs change.
The symptoms and adverse effects of hormone deficiencies often develop gradually over years, meaning many people do not realize they have an imbalance. But even mildly low hormones can negatively impact many aspects of health and cause accelerated aging.
That's why recognizing and promptly treating deficiencies with bioidentical hormone therapy is critical to look and feel your best while preventing future illnesses.
The providers at Hormone Harmony Clinic specialize in accurate diagnostics and crafting tailored BHRT programs for both men and women to:
Through years of experience and advanced training, our practitioners have restored thousands of patients' hormone balance safely and effectively with bioidentical hormones.
We also make treatment convenient and affordable through accessible office locations, flexible financing options and assisting patients with insurance questions. You deserve to feel healthy, confident and energized.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms or aging concerns. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed on their long-term effects.
