Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. The term "bioidentical" means the hormones are biologically identical to those found naturally in the body.
Bioidentical hormones are created to be exactly the same, down to the molecular level, as hormones produced in the human body. This allows the body to recognize and utilize bioidentical hormones in very much the same way as natural hormones produced by the body.
Bioidentical hormones work by supplementing the body's natural hormones that decline with age or due to medical conditions. Restoring hormone levels can provide substantial benefits and relief from deficiency symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over traditional synthetic hormone replacement:
Imbalances in key hormones can develop with age, genetics, stress levels, or other medical factors. Identifying deficiencies early is important for health.
Some hormones more prone to falling out of optimal balance:
Symptoms of hormone deficiencies vary but can include:
Balancing key hormones with bioidentical therapy provides wide-ranging benefits:

This allows for very customized treatment plans targeting optimal balance.
Treatment begins with thorough lab testing, evaluation of health history, and development of a customized treatment plan.
Laboratory tests analyzing blood, saliva or urine samples establish a baseline to identify hormone imbalances or deficiencies needing treatment. Testing key hormones can include:
Follow-up testing during treatment ensures optimal hormone balance is restored and maintained.
A detailed initial consultation assesses health status, family history, symptoms, and lifestyle to guide development of an integrated treatment plan. Areas of evaluation include:
Customized protocols specifying bioidentical hormone combinations, doses, and delivery methods are tailored to each patient's needs and preferences for optimal results.
Protocols start low and slow, gradually increasing doses while monitoring progress until symptoms resolve and labs reach optimal ranges.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded to match the molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced in the human body. This allows the body to recognize and metabolize them more efficiently, which may result in fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormone medications.
Treatment plans integrate hormone optimization with lifestyle and wellness strategies for comprehensive support.
Hormone therapy begins with the first application or dose as directed by the practitioner's prescribed protocol.
Comprehensive treatment integrates hormone therapy with lifestyle approaches:
Integrating positive lifestyle habits amplifies benefits of therapy.
