Many individuals experience a decline in hormone levels as they age, leading to unpleasant symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Hormone deficiencies often arise due to natural declines beginning around age 30, or from medical conditions, stress, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle factors.
The most common deficiencies are related to testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and growth hormones. Imbalances in these vital hormones can result in issues like fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, hot flashes, insomnia, depression, and more. Prompt diagnosis and customized treatment is key to relieving symptoms and regaining wellness.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) utilizes lab-made hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones produced naturally in the body. This allows hormone levels to be restored to more youthful ranges with minimal side effects.
BHRT is customized based on the unique hormone profile, medical history, genetics, and needs of each patient. This personalization helps create optimal balance and makes BHRT more physiologically compatible than traditional synthetic hormone therapy.
The physicians at Balanced Hormone Clinic are leading experts in bioidentical hormone therapy, with decades of experience designing customized regimens to suit each patient’s needs. Our clinic utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic testing and an array of treatment modalities to optimize hormone balance and vitatlity.
We know that every person is biochemically unique. Our thorough evaluation and consultative approach identifies the root causes of patients’ symptoms to create targeted treatment plans. We partner with patients throughout the journey, making dosage adjustments as needed, to help them realize the full benefits of BHRT.
The first step is determining which hormones are out of balance. This is achieved through comprehensive testing of:
We conduct in-depth reviews of health and symptom history. The type, severity, and timing of symptoms provide clues into which hormones may be deficient.
These specialized tests measure actual concentrations of hormones and related biomarkers. This objective data reveals precise areas of hormone imbalance.
Genes impact how we metabolize and utilize hormones. Analysis provides insight into optimum, personalized hormone doses and protocols.
Thyroid, nutrients, cardiovascular markers, and other labs help gauge total wellness to further customize treatment plans.
After testing is complete, our physicians consult with patients to interpret results and map out the treatment process. Open communication ensures patients understand their health status and what to expect with BHRT.
Bioidentical hormones are not technically "natural" even though they are often marketed that way. The hormones are chemically synthesized in a lab to match natural human hormones, but they don't actually come directly from any natural source.
Balanced Hormone Clinic provides bioidentical versions of the most commonly deficient hormones in men and women:
This crucial hormone begins declining around age 25, causing symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and mood issues in men. BHRT can effectively alleviate low testosterone symptoms.
Deficiencies arise in menopausal women due to natural decline. Symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, osteoporosis, heart issues, anxiety, and depression. Estrogen BHRT boosts levels to resolve deficiency problems.
Working synergistically with estrogen, progesterone declines during perimenopause and menopause, disrupting menstrual cycles and causing symptoms like bloating, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disruption. BHRT restores optimal levels.
Low thyroid function causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, sensitivity to cold, constipation, and brain fog. Bioidentical thyroid hormone normalizes levels to resolve related ailments.
Declines in DHEA and pregnenolone that occur with aging can cause symptoms like low libido, fatigue, poor mood, and loss of muscle mass. BHRT containing these precursors alleviates issues related to age-related drop.
Deficiencies in the “love hormone” oxytocin can arise from emotional trauma. Low levels are linked to relationship struggles, social anxiety, depression, and trouble bonding. BHRT helps normalize oxytocin levels and social functioning.
We offer bioidentical versions of these vital hormones in convenient forms like creams, injectable serums, oral tablets, and sublingual drops to suit each patient’s needs and preferences.
Beginning bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is straightforward. An initial appointment is scheduled to perform diagnostics and medical history analysis. Blood is then drawn for specialized hormonal panels providing objective data on specific deficiencies.
Follow up consultations are conducted 1-2 weeks later to receive test results, interpretation, and to outline the treatment process. Prescriptions are provided for bioidentical hormones suiting deficiencies uncovered by testing.
Patients then return monthly to evaluate progress, make dosage refinements, ensure optimal results, identify any needed lifestyle adjustments, and to address any questions arising during therapy. We remain partners throughout HRT to guarantee the greatest benefits.
Most patients report significant improvements within 1-3 months along with continuing gains achieved by reaching ideal hormone balance under our specialists’ guidance. Complete protocols normally last 4-6 months, after which maintenance follow ups occur 1-2 times yearly.

Prompt treatment of hormone deficiencies is vital because studies confirm that prolonged imbalances raise risks for significant long term medical issues. Left ignored, hormone dysfunctions enable development of some hormone-influenced health disorders.
For example, low testosterone in men doubles chances for developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes over 5-10 years. Untreated estrogen deficiency doubles women’s heart attack risk within 10 years of menopause.
Therefore, testing and treatment in the early phases of deficiency through expertise like Balanced Hormone Clinic’ specialized hormone optimization physicians can prevent progression toward chronic diseases.
Restoration also alleviates quality life-disrupting signs that increasingly worsen over time without treatment. Acting at initial onset maximizes treatment benefits faster with enhanced convenience.
In short - identifying and promptly correcting hormone inadequacies with bioidentical HRT provides anti-aging benefits protecting long term health.
