Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many processes in the body. When hormonal balances are disrupted, numerous symptoms and health conditions can occur. Some common signs of hormone deficiencies include:
Fatigue Weight gain or difficulty losing weight Depression, anxiety or mood changes Insomnia Reduced libido Night sweats and hot flashes
Hair loss Vaginal dryness Erectile dysfunction Loss of muscle mass
Restoring optimal hormone levels can provide immense benefits and relieve troublesome symptoms. Patients report improvements in energy levels, sleep quality, sexual function, emotional health and more. Furthermore, balancing hormones may reduce risk for certain conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease.
Seeking timely treatment for hormone deficiencies is crucial. The earlier imbalances are corrected, the sooner patients can feel relief and prevent symptoms from worsening over time.
Renewed Balance Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement, using custom compounded treatments tailored to each patient's unique needs. Keep reading to learn more about why bioidentical hormones are ideal for balancing hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are substances that have a molecular structure identical to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. This allows them to bind properly with receptors and mimic the action of endogenous hormones.
Common bioidentical hormones used include:
Bioidentical hormones are generally derived from plant sources and made by compounding pharmacies to the exact specifications prescribed by the practitioner. This customization provides superior precision and flexibility compared to conventional therapy.
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over older synthetic hormone replacement products:
For example, popular synthetic hormones like conjugated equine estrogens (CEEs) have a different molecular structure than human estradiol. As a result, they can fail to fully activate estrogen receptors or trigger unwanted effects.
In contrast, bioidentical estradiol binds optimally to restore functioning while minimizing risks.
Bioidentical hormone therapy may benefit these populations:
Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal atrophy and emotional changes. Bioidentical estradiol and progesterone can provide relief by stabilizing hormone levels.
Conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) involve imbalances in reproductive hormones. Bioidentical hormones can be used to augment fertility or manage related symptoms.
Testosterone deficiencies become increasingly common as men age. Low testosterone contributes to problems like reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depleted energy and loss of muscle mass. Bioidentical testosterone therapy is an effective way to recover normal androgen status.
Cross-sex hormone therapy using bioidentical estrogens and testosterone plays an important role in helping transgender individuals achieve desired masculine or feminine traits.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Some studies suggest bioidentical estrogen therapy may generate less cellular inflammation and carry lower risks than conventional hormone replacement drugs, but longer-term safety data is still needed.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we tailor bioidentical hormone replacement regimens to suit each patient's physiology and health profile. However, our standard protocol for initiating therapy typically involves:
Initial consultation: We thoroughly review medical history, symptoms, hormone levels and treatment goals before creating a customized treatment plan.
Prescription: We prescribe bioidentical hormones from our onsite compounding pharmacy in the optimal doses, delivery methods and ingredients for the patientâ€TMs needs.
Follow-up testing and monitoring: We schedule follow-up appointments to check hormone levels, monitor progress and adjust prescriptions accordingly. Most patients feel significantly better within a few months.
Adjunctive care: We provide nutritional, fitness and lifestyle recommendations to complement hormone therapy. Addressing diet, exercise, stress and other factors leads to better outcomes.
Renewed Balance Clinic strives to make the process as smooth and effective as possible while putting patient health first.
As women enter perimenopause and menopause, diminishing ovarian function causes estrogen and progesterone levels to decline significantly. This hormone loss produces symptoms like:
Restoring balance with bioidentical estrogen and bioidentical progesterone can alleviate symptoms and support better health during the menopausal transition:
The right combination can restore wellness and vitality throughout menopause and beyond. Renewed Balance Clinic specializes in finding the optimal bioidentical hormone therapy regimen for each womanâ€TMs needs.
Many men start experiencing declining testosterone levels in their 30s and 40s. Lower testosterone, or “low T,” induces symptoms such as:
Boosting testosterone with bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy helps reverse these deficiencies.
Benefits of bioidentical testosterone therapy include:
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we offer complete care programs including testosterone pellets, testosterone injections, lifestyle coaching and follow-up testing to help men achieve long-term benefits on therapy.
Diagnosing hormone imbalances requires specialized lab testing beyond standard bloodwork. Renewed Balance Clinic collaborates with high-quality local labs to provide convenient, cutting-edge assessment of hormone status.
We recommend testing key hormones like estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA-S, cortisol and thyroid hormones. Saliva, blood and urine testing can all offer useful insights.
Baseline testing establishes hormone levels to guide customized treatment plans. Follow-up testing during therapy lets us monitor progress and calibrate doses to keep patients in optimal ranges.
Routine testing combined with expert interpretation empowers precise targeting of imbalances. Contact Renewed Balance Clinic to learn about lab partners offering discounted rates for our patients.
