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 these declining hormones with bioidentical versions can alleviate symptoms and help people feel youthful again.
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy include relief from hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, decreased muscle mass, weight gain, low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mood disorders, cognitive decline, and weakened bones. Balancing hormones also yields anti-aging effects helping preserve youth, vitality and quality of life.
The first step is getting hormone blood tests to pinpoint imbalances. Renew Hormone Clinic offers state-of-the-art testing to precisely identify deficient hormones. We test levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol and more.
Common deficiencies include:
Estrogen deficiency causes hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary issues, mood swings, sleep disruption, heart issues, and osteoporosis in women. Bioidentical estrogen effectively relieves these symptoms.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen. Declining progesterone levels lead to estrogen dominance causing weight gain, bloating, anxiety, irregular periods, and infertility. Bioidentical progesterone restores hormonal balance reducing these effects.
Testosterone deficiency afflicts both men and women. In men, it causes erectile dysfunction, depleted muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. For women, it leads to low libido, weight gain, and loss of motivation.
Testosterone therapy with bioidentical hormones reverts these symptoms leading to restored energy levels, sex drive, cognitive ability, lean muscle mass, motivation, and vitality.
The thyroid gland produces hormones regulating metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) causes fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, joint pain, mood disorders, hair loss, and high cholesterol. An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) speeds up metabolism leading to anxiety, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, sweating, muscle weakness, and unintended weight loss.
Correcting thyroid dysfunction with bioidentical thyroid hormone alleviates these symptoms, optimizing weight, energy, mood, and wellbeing.
The goal is restoring deficient hormone blood levels back to optimal ranges improving symptoms. This involves initiating bioidentical hormone therapy then custom tailoring doses based on follow up blood tests and symptom monitoring until the patient feels fully normalized.
Delivery methods for bioidentical hormone therapy include oral tablets/capsules, sublingual drops, topical gels/creams, injectable pellets, and topical patches. Renew Hormone Clinic physicians determine the optimal mode of delivery customized per patient.
We emphasize starting low then gradually titrating doses upwards based on follow up blood tests and symptom improvement until optimal levels and relief are achieved. Patience is needed as it often takes 3-6 months to fully optimize hormones formaximal benefits. We teach patients proper at home application techniques for their prescribed therapy.
Follow up blood tests and doctor visits are needed periodically to ensure hormone levels are properly balanced in the optimal range. We closely track progress adjusting regimens until patients reportfeeling fully normalized.
Maintaining optimal hormone levels is essential for sustaining health, quality of life and longevity. Imbalances often worsen over time leading to heightened risk of diseases plusaccelerated aging if left untreated.
We emphasize the importance of early detection using blood analysis and promptly addressing abnormal results. Hormone decline can start in one’s 30’s progressing gradually. Optimizing hormones earlier rather than later has profound anti-aging and protective benefits enhancing physical, mental and emotional health.
Renew Hormone Clinic specializes in personalized care using advanced testing and the latest bioidentical hormone therapies to precisely treat deficiencies improving symptoms and restoring wellness. We help patients achieve hormone optimization enabling them to look and feel their best regardless of age.
Bioidentical hormones are not technically "natural" since they are synthesized in a lab to match human hormones, but studies show they have the same molecular structure as endogenous hormones and bind to receptors similarly. This suggests they may have comparable physiological effects as hormones made in the body.
