Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminishing hormones with bioidentical versions can eliminate deficiencies and greatly improve quality of life.
Bioidentical hormone therapy involves adjusting hormone levels through use of plant-derived hormones that are biologically identical to endogenous hormones. This differs from conventional hormone replacement using synthetic or animal derived hormones with slightly different molecular structures.
Key benefits of bioidentical hormones:
Experiencing unpleasant symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, low libido or hot flashes? These may indicate a hormone imbalance.
The first step is to get comprehensive hormone testing done through blood, saliva or urine tests. This gives us a clear picture of your hormone levels compared to optimal ranges.
Based on test results, our physicians can prescribe a customized bioidentical hormone therapy regime to restore balance. We monitor progress through follow up tests and tune the dosage and delivery method to meet treatment goals.

Key information:
Hormone related symptoms can develop slowly over months and years. Patients often fail to connect non-specific complaints to an underlying imbalance.
Without treatment, symptoms worsen over time impacting nearly every aspect of life. Relationships suffer, careers plateau, mental health spirals, fitness erodes, illnesses strike more frequently.
The clock starts ticking as soon as hormone production falls off. Early detection and correction is key for the best response. The longer imbalanced hormones impact body functions, the harder reversing damage becomes.
We urge patients to recognize subtle signs of decline sooner than later. Catching falling hormones early maximizes treatment benefits long term. Don't write off nagging complaints - optimizing hormones enhances overall health and leads to a more rewarding, fulfilling life.
