Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a treatment for hormone imbalances and deficiencies. Hormone Harmony provides customized BHRT to the Rockwall area using hormones identical on a molecular level to those produced naturally by the human body. Read on to learn the basics of BHRT and how it can alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency.
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are biologically identical to those produced in the human body. This means that bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones have a chemical structure that precisely matches the hormones produced by your endocrine system.
In contrast, non-bioidentical hormones are synthetic versions that can produce side effects. When restoring hormone levels with BHRT, bioidentical hormones offer the closest possible match to what your body produces naturally.
There are several key benefits of bioidentical hormones:
Bioidentical hormones are often viewed as the preferable form of hormone replacement therapy due to their similarities with endogenous human hormones.
Many patients see improvements in energy, sleep, libido, cognitive function and more when using properly prescribed BHRT to achieve optimal hormone balance.
The endocrine system regulates hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and others. When levels of these hormones fall out of optimal ranges, you may develop symptoms of hormone deficiency:
Age-related hormone decline and medical conditions can cause imbalances leading to these symptoms. Customized bioidentical hormone therapy serves to restore optimal levels and relieve deficiency symptoms.
The first step is diagnostic testing to evaluate your hormone levels. Hormone Harmony offers convenient in-house blood tests and saliva tests for hormones including:
Understanding your individual hormone profile allows our practitioners to design a truly customized treatment plan to help resolve deficiency symptoms and optimize wellbeing.
We then create a blend of bioidentical hormones tailored to your body and needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we adjust dosing and delivery methods over time to keep your hormones balanced.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Though promoted as more natural, there is little evidence that bioidentical hormones are safer or more effective than traditional hormone therapy for treating symptoms like hot flashes or osteoporosis.
Hormone Harmony offers cutting-edge bioidentical hormone therapies to suit your lifestyle and preferences:
Skin patches provide full-body hormone delivery through absorption. Patches for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone promote steady hormone levels.
Topical creams provide localized relief of urogenital symptoms when applied vaginally or to arms/legs for full-body supplementation.
Hormone pellets are inserted under the skin for sustained release over 3-6 months. This avoids frequent dosing while enabling predictable effects.
Micronized oral progesterone is well-absorbed in capsule form. This mimics the body's production of progesterone naturally.
Testosterone injections may be used weekly or biweekly for a rapid spike of hormones followed by tapering levels.
With an array of bioidentical hormone options, our practitioners tailor treatment to your needs and preferences on an ongoing basis to promote optimal wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormone replacement aims to resolve deficiency symptoms and restore wellbeing. We provide patients with lifestyle guidance to work synergistically with treatment:
Implementing positive lifestyle changes enhances hormone balance for optimal health. We also offer wellness services like IV therapy, aesthetics and alternative medicines alongside bioidentical HRT.
If you notice age-related hormone decline or symptoms like low libido, hot flashes, fatigue and changes in body composition, Hormone Harmony can help. We offer cutting-edge bioidentical hormone replacement therapies tailored to your needs along with holistic wellness guidance.
