Low hormone levels can cause various unpleasant signs and symptoms. Common issues associated with testosterone deficiency in men include:
In women, signs of low estrogen or progesterone may include:
Noting the subtle changes in your body and energy levels can help identify a potential hormone imbalance early on. Our clinicians can then order diagnostic lab tests to confirm any deficiencies.
Bioidentical hormone therapy involves taking custom-compounded hormones derived from plant sources that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. This allows for a more natural replacement option compared to synthetic hormones.
Some of the key benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy include:
Bioidentical hormones can be taken as pills, creams, gels, pellets, or injections. Our clinicians personalize treatment plans based on each patient's needs and preferences. We closely monitor progress through follow-up visits and lab testing to ensure optimal outcomes.
The first step is identifying any potential hormone deficiencies or imbalances causing symptoms. We recommend getting comprehensive lab testing to accurately evaluate levels of key hormones like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol.
Testing may require multiple blood draws as hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day. Proper timing of tests is crucial for interpreting results accurately. Our staff help patients coordinate testing details to ensure everything is done correctly.
Hormone therapy is highly personalized and each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals. We thoughtfully consider factors like:
Together, you and your clinician will decide the optimal hormone types, combinations, doses, and delivery methods to meet your needs. We also provide lifestyle counseling on nutrition, fitness, stress management and preventative health.
Bioidentical hormones are not always safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are still lacking. More research is needed to determine if subtle molecular differences actually impact health over time.
Once treatment begins, follow-up testing and outpatient visits help us monitor your hormone levels to ensure your protocol remains optimized over months and years of therapy. Most patients feel significantly better within several weeks but maximum benefits often take 3-6 months.
With proper testing and dosage adjustments, the advantages of bioidentical therapy can continue for many years into later life stages when endogenous hormone production declines. Patients under our care ultimately report excellent long-term results in terms of sustained symptom relief, disease prevention, and healthy aging.
Managing hormone deficiencies earlier leads to better health and vitality long-term. Yet many struggle silently with side effects for years before properly addressing such an intimate health issue. We aim to provide professional, compassionate care to help patients regain wellness.
