Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can alleviate symptoms and promote better health.
At Balance & Renew Clinic in Vernon, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT replenishes hormones at optimal levels to restore balance and vitality. Read on to learn more about bioidentical hormones and their benefits.
Declining hormones manifest in various symptoms that disrupt quality of life. Monitoring symptoms helps determine if BHRT could help restore wellness.
In perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, plummeting estrogen levels drive symptoms like:
Replacing estrogen alleviates these issues to improve comfort and wellbeing.
Testosterone deficiency affects both sexes. Symptoms in women include:
Symptoms in men encompass:
Boosting testosterone relieves these problems and restores zest for life.
Deficiencies in hormones like DHEA, progesterone, and thyroid also cause nonspecific symptoms negatively impacting health:
Identifying and addressing hormonal imbalances can alleviate stubborn symptoms when other measures fail.
Replacing deficient hormones brings wide-ranging benefits:
The most immediate payoff is relief from disruptive menopausal or low testosterone symptoms undermining day-to-day life. Restored comfort and ease makes normal activity possible again.
Certain hormones confer specific protective effects:
Balanced hormones optimize health and can lower risks for various chronic diseases.
With hormone levels optimized to youthful ranges, many patients report:
Restoring hormones renews vitality on multiple levels, allowing people to thrive again.
What exactly are bioidentical hormones and how do they work?
"Bioidentical" means the hormones have identical molecular structures to endogenous human hormones. This allows optimal receptor binding and tissue activation for seamless physiological harmony.
In contrast, common synthetic hormones like conjugated equine estrogens or medroxyprogesterone bear close but not identical molecular structures to human hormones. This can hinder receptor binding and generate side effects.
Bioidentical hormones come in various forms allowing customized treatment:
Pellet implants provide the most stable long-term dosing, while topical gels offer ease of variable dose titration.
We begin with thorough symptoms assessment and lab testing measuring:
This data allows precise hormone balancing tailored to each patient’s needs.
Every BHRT regimen we design is completely individualized based on symptoms and lab results. Treatment plans evolve over time responding to patient feedback:
We partner closely with each patient to optimize their hormone health.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. More research is needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
Patients often suffer hormone deficiency symptoms for years before seeking specialized care. However, addressing hormonal imbalance early is ideal to:
Certain hormone-sensitive conditions like osteoporosis can be halted or reversed if caught early before advanced deterioration.
Patients with longstanding severe hormone deficiencies may not respond as robustly or rapidly to treatment compared to early intervention.
Research confirms hormonal balance in midlife correlates with better health in later senior years.
We encourage suspecting or experiencing any hormone-related symptoms to undergo proper testing sooner than later. Our expertise identifies subtle imbalances easy to miss but better treated early.
Do not simply resign symptoms as an inevitable effect of aging - optimization of hormones key for vitality is very possible! We aspire to help patients achieve full thriving potential regardless of age.
