Common signs and symptoms of hormone deficiency in both men and women may include unexplained weight gain, sleep problems, loss of muscle mass, hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood changes, reduced libido, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, and brain fog.
Low testosterone levels in men can also lead to loss of body and facial hair, development of breast tissue, and inability to get or maintain an erection.
Low estrogen and progesterone levels in women may cause irregular periods, infertility, bladder issues, and thinning of skin and hair. Osteoporosis risk also increases.
Catching and addressing hormone imbalance early is key to avoid complications down the road. Getting tested is the first step.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide immense relief from the uncomfortable signs and symptoms of menopause, andropause and hormone imbalance. BHRT helps restore optimal hormone levels, thereby improving energy, sleep, libido, body composition, mood, cognitive function and an overall sense of wellbeing.

In short, balanced hormones = better health, vitality and quality of life!
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical replicas of hormones produced naturally in the body. Hence, the body recognizes and utilizes bioidentical hormones much more efficiently than synthetic ones.
Modes of delivery include pills, creams, gels, pellets, patches, and injections. Pellet implants inserted under the skin tend to provide the most stable hormone levels over 3-6 months without need for daily dosing.
The process begins with thorough lab testing to precisely determine which hormones are low or high. This guides targeted, customized therapy based on one’s unique hormonal needs and physiology.
Initial doses start low and get fine-tuned over follow-up bloodwork and consults every 3-6 months based on symptom relief and lab trends, honing in on optimal levels.
Close provider supervision ensures therapy is working as intended - to restore normal hormone balance safely.
Many people struggle for years with sometimes debilitating symptoms before seeking help for hormone imbalance. Early testing and detection could spare much grief and suffering down the road.
Likewise, the sooner treatment is initiated, the more likely one can avoid or reverse issues like bone loss before they progress to osteoporosis and fracture; obesity and increased cardiometabolic disorders; loss of vitality, function and independence; and reduced quality and years of healthy life.
Bottom line? If your body just isn’t feeling or performing like it should, get tested sooner than later. There are solutions available to help you regain your edge and live life to the fullest!
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Some compounds sold as "bioidentical" are not actually identical to human hormones and there is limited evidence on their long-term safety and efficacy compared to FDA-approved therapies.
