Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline causing uncomfortable symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone balance alleviating symptoms and improving wellbeing.
There are several potential causes of hormone deficiencies including:
Hormone imbalances should be properly diagnosed through comprehensive lab testing and addressed to avoid short and long term issues.
There are various signs indicating potential hormone deficiencies including:
Men: Low libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, irritability, hot flashes
Women: Irregular periods, infertility, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, bladder issues, sleep problems, depression, anxiety
Paying attention to symptoms and getting hormone testing is key for proper diagnosis and treatment. Even small imbalances can significantly impact wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone balance. It provides hormone therapy using bioidentical hormones which are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body.
Bioidentical hormones (BHs) are man-made replica hormones with the identical chemical and molecular structure as those produced naturally by the body. The most commonly prescribed BHs include:
They are synthesized from plant sources and designed to be completely biochemically equivalent to our endogenous hormones down to the cellular receptor level. This makes them easier for the body to recognize and utilize properly.
There are several methods for effectively delivering bioidentical hormone therapy:
The professionals at Balanced Hormone Clinic will determine the optimal delivery methods based on the patient’s hormone deficiencies, treatment goals, and preferences.
Compared to traditional non-bioidentical hormone replacement, properly prescribed BHRT offers several advantages such as:
When administered properly through experienced medical guidance, customized BHRT provides safe, effective relief improving wellness as hormone levels are restored.
Testosterone is crucial for physical, mental and sexual health in both genders. As testosterone levels start dropping around age 30, Low T symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, poor sleep and lower libido begin emerging. Without treatment, symptoms worsen and additional health issues may arise over time. Customized treatment plans from an experienced hormone doctor can get testosterone levels back on track restoring patient vitality and function.
The Endocrine Society guidelines recommend testing for low T if patients have signs/symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency. Initial evaluation should include:
Repeating tests under proper conditions is crucial for confirmation since levels fluctuate causing single results to be misleading. An experienced hormone specialist will properly diagnose whether patients have clinically low testosterone requiring treatment.
Once diagnosed, customized testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) under medical supervision can provide life-changing benefits including:
Physical benefits: - Increased muscle mass and strength - Improved body composition - decreased body fat - Better cardiovascular health - Increased bone density - Improved physical energy and endurance
Mental/emotional benefits - Better mood - decreased depression/irritability - Improved mental clarity and focus - Increased motivation and drive - Decreased anxiety - Better sleep quality
Sexual health benefits: - Increased sexual desire and erection quality - Improved sexual performance - Enhanced orgasms

Up to 80% of women experience hot flashes and night sweats as hormone production from ovaries starts dropping usually 3-5 years before periods actually stop during the menopause transition. These sudden sensations of intense heat caused by decreasing/fluctuating estrogen levels often last from 30 seconds up to several minutes causing profuse sweating, skin reddening and accelerated heart rates. Episodes can strike at any time often disrupting sleep, work and leisure activities. Other common menopausal issues like vaginal dryness, sexual difficulties, urinary incontinence, anxiety/depression and emotional sensitivity also arise. For women seeking hot flash relief and optimized wellbeing during midlife hormonal shifts, properly prescribed BHRT can be very effective for stabilizing hormones and alleviating symptoms.
Bioidentical estrogen therapy using FDA monitored preparations containing 17 beta-estradiol which is biochemically identical to human estrogen has been clinically proven to provide excellent hot flash relief. Oral and topical BHRT dosing allows symptom alleviation while avoiding potential side effects of traditional estrogen like Premarin. Working with an attentive Balanced Hormone Clinic practitioner, most women experience a significant hot flash/night sweat reduction within 1-3 months of initiating therapy. Ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments will stabilize hormone levels reducing other bothersome menopausal issues like sleep disruption, mood swings and vaginal atrophy as optimal hormone balance is restored enhancing feminine vitality and overall wellbeing. For perimenopausal and menopausal women seeking holistic wellness focused care, Balanced Hormone Clinic's experienced team offers customized in-depth clinical analysis coupled with expertly tailored BHRT to ease transition through this major life change.
In addition to properly prescribed BHRT, certain lifestyle measures may also help alleviate hot flashes including:

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Although marketed as "natural," the risks and benefits of bioidenticals are still being researched as their long-term effects are not yet fully characterized.
The butterfly shaped thyroid gland produces hormones regulating body metabolism. Even small thyroid imbalances negatively affect energy levels, temperature, heart rate, mood, menstrual cycles plus much more. Common disorders like hypothyroidism causing fatigue or hyperthyroidism spurring anxiousness, palpitations and sweating significantly disrupt health. Restoring optimal function through properly prescribed bioidentical thyroid hormone reshapes wellness.
The small thyroid gland located in the lower neck manufactures key hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) regulating critical bodily processes like:
When thyroid production falters, wide ranging symptoms emerge. Evaluating complex feedback mechanisms between the hypothalamus, pituitary and thyroid glands identifies issues guiding proper rebalancing for resuming robust function.
Thyroid function testing combined with clinical evaluation of signs and symptoms properly diagnoses common disorders guiding appropriate treatment.
Traditional thyroid replacement utilized synthetic T4 only medication like synthroid. However, emerging research reveals the importance of T3 in relieving hypothyroid symptoms. Thus, many practitioners now prescribe:
With treatment guidance from our exceptional clinicians guiding prescribed bioidentical thyroid hormones, metabolism stabilizes, energy rebounds and wellness is revitalized allowing patients to feel their best regardless of age. For signs suggesting thyroid issues or disappointing symptom relief from current treatment, contact Balanced Hormone Clinic for advanced clinical wisdom skillfully harmonizing bodily systems back into full health expression.
Foundational healthy lifestyle practices facilitate properly dosed bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) effectiveness by priming the body’s innate self-healing wisdom. Our bodies thrive under natural living patterns established over eons of human existence. Aligning daily rhythms with ancestral norms optimizes vitality:
Traditional whole food diets centered around vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, clean proteins and fermented foods nourish organs and glands producing optimal hormone levels. Refined carbohydrates, sugars, processed oils and chemical additives strain metabolic pathways weakening generation and signaling functions. Choosing organic non-GMO options whenever possible avoids toxic exposures further supporting balance. Daily intermittent fasting also gives digestive and detoxification systems opportunity for self-repair and rejuvenation enhancing their capabilities. You truly are what you eat!
Bodies and brains expect frequent physical activity for healthy regulatory processes. Begin each morning with brief warm up movements to lubricate joints and activate muscles bringing vitality for the days' adventures ahead. Seek regular cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training most days. Even light walking helps normalize numerous processes encouraging homeostasis. Sitting too much, especially without movement foments physical decline. Get outside connecting with nature's balancing rhythms. An active vital lifestyle begets high level wellness regardless of age!
Despite loud stimuli bombarding senses seemingly everywhere in modern life, regularly applying simple calming practices expands capacity for resilience. Carve out moments through the day for mindful breathing with relaxingly long smooth exhales eliciting the innate relaxation response quieting excess nervous system arousal characteristic of chronic stress. Yoga, meditation, forest bathing, chanting, prayer and similar activities further cultivate centeredness. Quality sleep sustains healthy hormone cycling indispensable for enduring wellbeing.
Aligning lifestyle patterns with those inherently encoded within our physiology and psychology bestows great gifts of high level wellness allowing full health expression as years pass.
