Bioidentical hormone therapy involves replacing hormones that decline naturally with age to restore optimal levels and improve quality of life. It utilizes hormones molecularly identical to those made in the human body to precisely supplement low levels.
Treatment typically involves progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and/or DHEA to alleviate unpleasant symptoms of menopause, andropause or adrenopause like hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, fatigue, weight gain, low libido and mood changes. Custom compounded bioidentical hormones closely match the body's natural hormones to optimize hormone activity and minimize side effects.
Hormone levels begin decreasing around age 30-35. By age 40-50, many adults develop unpleasant symptoms that impact quality of life. Menopause in women and andropause in men both involve significant hormone changes. Key reasons for declining hormones include:
Catching and addressing hormone imbalances early is key to maintaining wellbeing.
Symptoms of low hormone levels depend on which hormones are affected but often include:
If enduring multiple symptoms, getting comprehensive lab testing is prudent to pinpoint imbalances. Renewal Hormone Clinic analyzes blood, saliva and symptoms to uncover specific needs.
Balancing hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy brings profound benefits:
For perimenopausal and menopausal women, bioidentical estrogens and progesterone provide immense menopausal symptom relief including reducing hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, mood swings and sleep disturbances.
Estrogen eases hot flashes and night sweats in 75-90% of women. It also prevents vaginal atrophy to improve elasticity and lubrication. Progesterone enhances estrogen's benefits, supporting bone building and stabilizing mood.
In both women and men, bringing testosterone and DHEA to optimal ranges rekindles energy, mental sharpness and sex drive by enhancing lean muscle mass, fueling mitochondria and stimulating key tissue growth factors involved in renewal and youthfulness.
Testosterone amplifies drive, motivation, stamina and lean muscle. DHEA sharpens mental clarity while improving mood, immune function and skin quality.
Bioidentical hormones reshape body composition in a fat burning direction by building lean muscle and reducing excess body fat, especially unhealthy belly visceral fat.
Testosterone builds lean muscle mass in men. Growth hormone burns belly fat in both men and women.
Balancing key hormones provides anti-aging and disease prevention benefits.
Estrogen preserves bone mineral density to prevent osteoporosis. Testosterone strengthens bones, muscles and vigor in aging men. DHEA lifts mood, immunity and tissue renewal.
Bioidentical hormone therapy sustains health to enable active, meaningful longevity.
Renewal Hormone Clinic doctors using advanced testing to uncover each patient's unique hormonal status and needs, then create customized treatment plans using bioidentical hormones tailored to your physiology for optimal safety and results. Followup testing tracks progress and adjusts prescriptions accordingly.
We listen and optimize treatment until patients report life-enhancing benefits. Partnering together, we can sustain your best health regardless of age or gender.
Key categories of bioidentical hormones include:
Commonly prescribed estrogens: - Estradiol: Most potent form - Estrone: Weaker yet important estrogen - Estriol: Weaker but very safe
These represent all three estrogens occurring naturally in women. Doses can be adjusted based on needs and sensitivities.
Progesterone counterbalances estrogen's effects on the uterus. Bioidentical progesterone matches the identical chemical structure of the progesterone made by the ovaries during the menstrual cycle. It is most often prescribed as oral capsules or topical creams.
Testosterone drives libido, energy and strength in both women and men. In men it strongly influences muscle building, fat metabolism, motivation and vitality. Prescribed testosterone therapy replicates and restores healthy youthful levels.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) acts as a prohormone to other key hormones. Taking DHEA supplements increases tissue levels of estrogen and testosterone while also providing immune enhancing and activation of DNA transcription involved in renewal.
Thoughtful bioidentical hormone therapy can transform health at a cellular level by bringing hormone levels back into their peak ranges.
The physicians at Renewal Hormone Clinic offer fully individualized bioidentical hormone therapy to help patients look, feel and function optimally. We open at 8AM on weekdays and also offer Saturday appointments for your convenience.
Initial visits last 60-90 minutes as we carefully listen and analyze complex needs. We get to know you, tune into your symptoms, anatomize your history, examine physiology and interpret comprehensive laboratory testing.
Then we craft custom therapeutic regimens using bioidentical hormones to precisely balance your biology. Follow up visits with progress tracking lab tests hone in the ideal prescription to alleviate discomforts and amplify ageless vitality.
We wholly personalize care based on your unique needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. We partner together to uncover what’s best for your physiology and lifestyle.
Renewal Hormone Clinic doctors apply functional and anti-aging protocols proven to restore hormone balance, energy levels, fat burning and peak performance.
We interpret specialized lab tests like hormone levels, nutrition status, geology, heavy metals exposure, stress biomarkers, cardiovascular inflammation and digestive health to precisely pinpoint areas needing support.
Then we offer both established hormonal balancing therapies along with customized cutting edge techniques to activate gene expression patterns of regeneration and youthfulness. We combine bioidentical hormones, nutraceuticals, botanicals and lifestyle guidance for total restoration.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
Hormonal declines left unchecked lead to accelerated aging, disease risks and mortality. However, properly addressing low hormones protects wellbeing and sustains vigor.
For women, plummeting estrogen after menopause puts health and lifespan at grave risk. Studies show estrogen therapy quickly pays dividends by: - Enhancing brain blood flow - Preserving memory, concentration and quick thinking - Reducing heart attack risk - Boosting HDL while lowering LDL and triglycerides - Preventing osteoporosis - Estrogen is key for calcium absorption and bone building - Easing discomforts - Eliminating hot flashes, night sweats and urogenital atrophy
Meanwhile for men, deficient testosterone from andropause| low T elevates risks for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiac events and neurodegeneration.
Testosterone therapy substantially lessens risks while also: - Improving body composition - Building muscle, burning fat - Bolstering motivation and drive - Restoring erectile functioning - Strengthening bones and joints
