Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical versions can help alleviate symptoms and promote better health.
Bioidentical hormones used for therapy include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin, and thyroid hormones. They are sourced from plant extracts and made to be indistinguishable from endogenous human hormones.
In short, balancing hormones with bioidentical versions allows patients to look and feel healthier while aging gracefully. Our experienced practitioners customize treatment plans with high quality hormones tailored to each patient's needs.
The route of administration, dosage, and hormone combinations are customized for each patient based on:
Options include:
Follow-up lab testing ensures optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained for the duration of treatment.
The first step is recognizing symptoms that indicate declining hormones. However, a detailed history and diagnostic lab testing are necessary to confirm imbalances.
We use advanced hormone panels to measure levels of key hormones and identify deficiencies. Testing may need to be repeated multiple times to capture fluctuations.
Based on test results and clinical evaluation, our practitioners diagnose specific hormone imbalances underlying patients' undesirable symptoms.
Catching and addressing hormone imbalances early provides the best opportunity to correct symptoms before they significantly impact quality of life. We empower patients to take charge of their health at any age.
We recommend the following diagnostic labs to assess hormone status:
Testing is covered by most medical insurance and discounted self-pay options are available.
"Bioidentical hormones provided me the key to unlocking my health potential in midlife and beyond."
Based on each patient's hormonal status and treatment goals, our practitioners design fully customized regimens using bioidentical hormones.
Protocols specify:
We reevaluate patients frequently and make protocol adjustments as needed. The goal is maintaining optimal hormone balance tailored to the individual.
Working closely under our care, the majority of patients achieve full correction of their symptoms and an overall transformation in health within 6 months. Benefits continue building the longer treatment is continued.
The specific hormones prescribed depend on each patient's needs and may include:
Proper testing aids designing combinations of hormones delivered at optimal doses and potencies for the patient's physiology. Follow up testing ensures treatment protocols achieve target hormone levels.
"I'm thrilled by the positive changes optimizing my hormones has made to my entire life."
While hormone replacement provides the catalyst, diet and lifestyle changes magnify and sustain benefits. Our practitioners offer specific nutritional and exercise recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs and treatment goals.
We also continually educate patients on additional topics like:
Small consistent changes multiply over months of treatment into profound health improvements extending beyond hormone function.
We also provide referrals to dietitians, personal trainers, acupuncturists, and other specialists to provide adjunct support.
Small consistent positive lifestyle changes amplify and sustain the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body, but evidence regarding their long-term safety and efficacy compared to synthetic hormones is still limited and mixed, indicating a need for larger and longer clinical trials to fully understand their risks and benefits.

Hormone levels begin declining gradually in the late 20’s to 30’s, accelerating with menopause and andropause. However, experiencing unpleasant symptoms is NOT a normal part of aging.
Proper testing and diagnoses of underlying hormone imbalances provides opportunities for correction before impacting quality of life. Addressing issues early is key.
Benefits of early detection and timely bioidentical hormone replacement inlude:
