Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become unbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can alleviate these symptoms and improve quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are typically derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to endogenous human hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This makes them ideal for HRT since the body recognizes and utilizes bioidenticals like natural hormones.
Key benefits of bioidentical HRT:
The first step is identifying any hormone deficiencies through blood tests, physical exams, and assessment of symptoms. Common symptoms indicating low hormone levels include:
Estrogen deficiency: hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary issues, mood changes, trouble sleeping
Progesterone deficiency: painful or heavy periods, PMS, breast tenderness, anxiety
Testosterone deficiency: low libido, erectile dysfunction, lack of energy, depression
Once deficient hormones are identified, bioidentical replacement therapy can be customized to restore optimal levels. Follow-up testing ensures proper hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
We offer state-of-the art hormone testing here at Balance Hormone Clinic to accurately assess your hormone levels and determine the best treatment plan.
The process of starting bioidentical HRT is straightforward:
The delivery method (oral, topical cream, pellet implant) depends on the hormone, dosage needs, and patient preference. The hormones prescribed will address your specific deficiencies and imbalances.
We develop personalized regimens tailored to your unique hormonal needs here at Balance Hormone Clinic.
Estrogen and progesterone work synergistically in women to regulate menstrual cycles along with many other body functions.

In men, testosterone is commonly replaced using:
In women, low testosterone can also cause symptoms so we provide customized testosterone creams or troches when appropriate.
Follow-ups are key to ensure optimal testosterone levels are achieved and symptoms improve, without overdosage.
Complementing bioidentical HRT with healthy lifestyle choices can enhance results:
Caring for body and mind together creates optimal wellness as hormones are brought into balance.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors, potentially reducing side effects while still effectively alleviating menopausal symptoms.

The FDA regulates specific manufactured hormonal products but not the actual hormones (estrogen, testosterone, etc). Compounded bioidentical hormones from reputable pharmacies like ours meet high standards of quality and purity. The customized combinations and dosages used in bioidentical HRT have not undergone the extensive trials required for FDA approval. However, there are numerous studies demonstrating their safety and efficacy.
