What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves supplementing hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body in order to alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance like fatigue, depression, hot flashes, and loss of libido.

Unlike synthetic hormones used in traditional hormone replacement methods, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure that is biologically equivalent to endogenous human hormones. This allows the body to recognize and utilize them more efficiently.

At Balance Hormone Center, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone therapy using hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin, and growth hormone tailored to your unique hormonal needs. This personalization sets BHRT apart from other approaches and promotes better patient outcomes.

Why Bioidentical Over Traditional HRT?

Bioidentical hormones:

  • Closely mimic the body's own hormones
  • Less likely to cause side effects
  • Flexibly customized for each patient
  • Delivered via convenient methods like gels and pellets
  • Safer for long-term use

This makes them the superior choice over older synthetic hormone drugs.

The 5 Key Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones

Customized bioidentical hormone therapy offers multiple advantages for health, vitality and active aging:

1. Balanced Hormones

BHRT helps optimize hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA for more youthful levels. This relieves menopause and andropause symptoms making you feel like yourself again.

2. Reduced Disease Risk

Balancing estrogen and testosterone in early menopause lowers risks for heart disease, diabetes, and bone loss - the top threats for aging women and men.

3. Better Overall Health

Bioidentical hormones enhance physiological functioning and wellbeing across body systems - from heart and brain to metabolism and muscles.

4. Improved Quality of Life

Relieving unpleasant menopausal and andropausal symptoms leads to better sleep, less anxiety, improved libido and enjoyment of life.

5. Slowed Aging

BHRT alleviates hormonal decline, a key factor in accelerated aging. This helps maintain vitality and active function as you get older.

The safety profile and multiple health benefits make bioidentical hormones excellent preventive medicine for both women and men as they age.

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalance with Lab Testing

Since hormonal changes often occur gradually, imbalances can be difficult to recognize. The first step is typically lab testing to accurately measure your hormone levels.

We screen the following hormones using blood, saliva or urine tests:

  • Estrogens - estradiol, estriol, estrone
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone - total and free
  • DHEA, DHEA-S
  • Thyroid hormones T3, T4
  • Melatonin
  • Plus cortisol, insulin, vitamin D, IGF-1 and more

This helps create your personalized prescription for bioidentical hormone optimization. Repeat lab testing lets us continually adjust your treatment dosage and hormone ratios for maximum benefits.

Ask your Balance Hormone Center physician which laboratory assessments you need based on gender, symptoms and risks.

Bioidentical Testosterone for Andropausal Men

Male aging brings declining testosterone causing low energy, weight gain, reduced muscle mass, erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. Research confirms restoring testosterone to healthy youthful ranges through bioidentical therapy relieves these andropause symptoms while also providing protective benefits for heart and brain.

Our precision testosterone regimens not only alleviate troublesome symptoms making men feel decades younger, but also confer important anti-aging effects through optimizing cell energy production, muscle building, mood and cognition. Treatment is carefully monitored to avoid overdosing and minimize side effects.

We offer helpful recommendations regarding lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity that prevent the age-related drop in testosterone levels. Ask your Balance Hormone Center doctor about improving low testosterone, sexual health and metabolic function through our proven restorative programs.

The Longevity Edge of Bioidentical HRT

Aging brings declining production of vital hormones like growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA. Research now clearly links this erosion of hormones to many degenerative conditions that accelerate aging - obesity, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia, loss of lean body mass, fatigue, depression and more.

The most promising medical approach to slowing this downward spiral is replenishing declining hormones. Numerous studies confirm hormone optimization therapy can inhibit multiple mechanisms of aging, relieving symptoms while also conferring powerful protective benefits.

Bioidentical HRT helps safeguard cardiovascular health, brain function, metabolic regulation, muscle retention and resilience - the pillars of youthful physiology. There is also intriguing evidence that balancing hormones using precision medicine protocols may support increased healthspan and longevity.

Balance Hormone Center anti-aging programs incorporate the latest science of precision hormone restoration therapy for supporting vitality along with active and fulfilling function throughout the lifespan.
