Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has become an extremely popular option for both men and women looking to correct hormone imbalances related to aging or other medical conditions. Balance Hormone Clinic, the premier hormone clinic in Fort Walton Beach, offers cutting-edge bioidentical hormone therapy to help patients optimize hormone levels and improve quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. At Balance Hormone Clinic, bioidentical hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA are customized to match each patient's individual hormone needs.
Unlike synthetic hormones used in traditional hormone replacement methods, bioidentical hormones are natural substances that are biochemically indistinguishable from the hormones made by your own endocrine system. This makes them easier for your body to process. The end result is hormones that are safer, more effective and produce fewer side effects.
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy include:
Essentially, balanced bioidentical hormone levels help both men and women feel healthier, happier and more like their youthful selves.
The first step in BHRT is always diagnostic hormone testing. Balance Hormone Clinic utilizes advanced hormone tests to check individual hormone levels in order to create fully customized, bioidentical hormone therapy protocols designed to restore optimal balance.
Some of the key hormones checked include:
Often thought of exclusively as a "male" hormone, testosterone plays a huge role in the health of both men and women. Low testosterone is linked to symptoms like:
There are three primary types of estrogen - estradiol, estrone and estriol. Declining estrogen levels can cause issues like:
Progesterone
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen to regulate menstruation and support fertility. Low levels may lead to:
DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone is known as the "mother hormone" because it acts as a building block for testosterone and estrogen. DHEA deficiency can contribute to:
Clearly, maintaining a healthy balance of all key hormones is essential for overall wellness. Balance Hormone Clinic' comprehensive hormone panel identifies any hormonal deficiencies or excesses so that targeted treatment can begin.
After diagnostic testing determines each patient's unique hormone profile, the medical experts at Balance Hormone Clinic create fully individualized programs for hormone replacement therapy.
Prescribed bioidentical hormones may include:
Testosterone therapy is prescribed for men diagnosed with low T. Treatment is administered via injection, topical gel or pellet implant to return testosterone to optimal levels, alleviate low T symptoms and support male health.
Women receive custom combinations of bioidentical estrogen and/or progesterone to correct estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency or peri/menopause issues. Hormones can be delivered orally, via cream, with a patch or pellet implant.
In cases of DHEA deficiency, bioidentical DHEA supplements may be prescribed to help support hormone balance, brain function, immunity and more.
Thyroid dysfunction can exacerbate hormone imbalance. Where indicated, bioidentical thyroid hormones help regulate metabolism, body temperature, heart rate and much more.
Balance Hormone Clinic tailors treatment based on medical history, symptoms, diagnostic results, lifestyle factors and treatment goals. Follow-up testing verifies ideal hormone levels are achieved and maintained long-term for optimal wellness.
A fascinating area of research shows balanced bioidentical hormone levels can slow or reverse aspects of aging on a cellular level. By supporting cell health and vitality with customized BHRT programs, patients often report looking and feeling decades younger.
Anti-aging benefits include:
In both men and women, BHRT enhances quality of life well into old age by mitigating many effects previously chalked up to "normal aging". Restoring hormones to levels consistent with a younger, healthier self can help you continue feeling vibrant and strong regardless of your chronological age.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms, contrary to some claims. The body may not distinguish between the two, as both mimic natural hormones nearly identically on a molecular level.
If you've noticed unpleasant symptoms like weight gain, low energy, decreased mental sharpness or reduced libido, hormone imbalance may be to blame. Instead of chalking health issues up to aging, get tested to determine if BHRT could help you feel more like your old self again.
