Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a way to relieve unpleasant signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance in both men and women. BHRT involves restoring declining hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more to optimal levels using plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the human body. At Balance & Renew Clinic clinic, we specialize in customizable BHRT programs to help patients feel their best. Read on to learn all about the basics of bioidentical hormones and the many benefits of replacement therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are synthesized from yam or soy plants to be exact copies of human estrogen, progesterone and testosterone at the molecular level. This makes them easier for the body to recognize and utilize without unwanted side effects.
In contrast, non-bioidentical versions like birth control pills or hormone replacement medications use different formulas that can cause unpleasant symptoms. BHRT is the more natural approach.
For both sexes, hormone imbalance manifests in ways that disrupt quality of life and wellbeing. At Balance & Renew Clinic clinic, we watch for these key indications that BHRT could help:
These relate to low testosterone in men, and low estrogen/progesterone in women as hormones decline with age.
Correcting hormone imbalances through customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans helps patients feel healthier, happier and fully engaged with life again both physically and mentally.
The right combination bioidentical estrogens, progesterone and/or testosterone lets both men and women feel their best while optimizing body function.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is commonly used for males struggling with low vitality related to declining testosterone. It can safely and effectively help men get their groove back.
At Balance & Renew Clinic, we tailor TRT plans after a patient's comprehensive lab panel shows they have low testosterone. Based on the results and patient goals, we determine the best delivery method - injections, pellets or gels/creams.
TRT regimes are customized down to the number of weekly treatments for steady hormone release so men feel energized around-the-clock without spikes and drops. Tracking progress at follow-up visits lets us make adjustments as needed.
The basic TRT process involves:
*With an expert TRT protocol from Balance & Renew Clinic, men in Seneca can correct low "T" for renewed vibrancy.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded to match a person's natural hormone profile. This tailored approach aims to provide hormonal balance while minimizing side effects, though more research is still needed on their long-term safety and efficacy.
Left untreated, hormone imbalances tend to worsen over time leading to increased unpleasant signs and health risks. That's why we emphasize early detection and timely BHRT.
Getting hormone levels tested around age 35-40 establishes a baseline. From there, monitoring every few years for men and annually for women post-menopause spotlights dips. This means treatment can start promptly, not after one has suffered for years in a deficient state.
Delaying intervention once bothersome symptoms appear allows degeneration for too long. Patients shouldn't have to cope with exhaustion, sexual issues, constant hot flashes, etc. when customized BHRT solutions can quickly help them thrive!
We collaborate so closely because finding one's ideal hormone regimen takes some fine-tuning. Unlike a one-size-fits all solution, bioidentical therapy is truly personalized.
What works for your spouse or friend may not be the best match for you. We'll methodically adjust delivery methods, doses and types of hormones replaced until everything feels right based on follow up testing and paying attention to your unique body.
Staying in close contact while beginning BHRT ensures you safely achieve ideal hormone balance for peak wellness.
