Bioidentical hormone therapy, also referred to as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), involves the use of hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body to supplement declining hormone levels. This cutting-edge therapy can help both men and women overcome symptoms related to age and hormonal imbalance, restoring wellness, vitality, and quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally the same as the hormones produced in the human body. That makes them easily recognized and properly utilized by hormone receptor sites. In contrast, non-bioidentical versions contain slightly altered molecular structures that must undergo additional metabolic processing before use.
For individuals with hormonal imbalances causing undesirable symptoms, properly balancing hormones with bioidentical versions tailored to their needs brings prompt relief. Close matches to the body's own hormones avoid issues posed by synthetic ones.
Determining if a hormonal deficiency or imbalance underlies unpleasant symptoms requires diagnostic blood, saliva, or urine testing. Reference ranges help indicate optimal values, but ideal numbers can vary based on factors like age, gender, menopausal status, and lifestyle.
If testing reveals hormone concentrations below ideal thresholds, custom-compounded bioidentical hormone therapy serves to safely and effectively elevate them. Follow-up assessments ensure proper dosing for your individual needs.
Hormonal issues often fail to get recognized. Nonspecific complaints like fatigue, sexual problems, weight gain, sleep disruption, hot flashes, and mood changes may be blamed on other causes when hormones are actually at fault.
Testing key hormones uncovers imbalances that specifically explain nebulous symptoms. It also provides objective data essential for developing personalized treatment plans using bioidentical hormones.
Evaluating testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and DHEA makes up foundational testing. Further assessment of thyroid, cortisol, and related hormones helps optimize treatments.
Each testing method has particular strengths and applications:

Whether you are a man coping with low testosterone or a woman struggling with perimenopause or menopause, Renew Health Clinic has the knowledge, experience, and passion to help you reclaim your health.
The practice of using bioidentical hormones to restore optimal balance comprises both art and science. It requires specialized expertise in:
Replenishing deficient hormones to achieve homeostasis relieves symptoms and enhances wellness. Remaining within the safe range further bolsters the benefits.
| Women | Men |
| ● Hot flashes ● Night sweats ● Vaginal dryness ● Urinary urgency ● Mood swings ● Anxiety/irritability ● Fatigue ● Sleep disruption ● Brain fog | ● Loss of stamina ● Increased body fat ● Muscle loss ● Low libido ● Erectile dysfunction ● Depression/irritability ● Poor concentration ● Fatigue ● Insomnia |
Restoring optimal hormone levels additionally:
Documented in thousands of studies, the wide-ranging benefits of bioidentical hormone optimization make it a pivotal anti-aging and preventive health strategy for both women and men.
Every bioidentical hormone therapy prescription Renew Health Clinic provides is carefully tailored to the patient's needs at each stage of treatment.
Overcoming hormonal deficiencies and imbalances hinges on custom-crafted approaches responsive to:
Follow-up testing further informs adjustments for continually optimizing the benefits of treatment over time.
The particular bioidentical hormones, doses, and delivery methods making up treatment protocols depend on the deficiencies and imbalances uncovered during diagnostic assessments along with patient symptoms, needs, and preferences.
Doses aim to optimize levels within ideal ranges. We avoid excessively high doses, closely monitoring to ensure safety.
For women in midlife dealing with fluctuating and declining hormones, properly balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone serves to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms while protecting long-term health.
Estrogen eases hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, bladder issues, brain fog, and mood instability. The right progesterone balance guards against estrogen excess.
Adding sufficient testosterone back counters low libido, fatigue, mental fuzziness, and weight gain. We carefully prescribe testosterone to avoid risks posed by too much.
Renew Health Clinic treatment plans help women seamlessly transition through perimenopause into menopause while enjoying excellent symptom relief, emotional stability, restored wellness, and sustained quality of life.
Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) often includes removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy), abruptly shifting women into surgical menopause. Crashing estrogen and testosterone levels devastate physical health and emotional well-being.
Implementing prompt hormone therapy is crucial for effectively managing surgically-induced menopause. Renew Health Clinic swiftly intervenes with properly balanced bioidentical hormones to resolve symptoms, minimize bone loss, and reduce heart disease and dementia risk.
After age 30, testosterone levels gradually fall. But today's exposures and stresses accelerate the decline, resulting in earlier and more severe androgen deficiency in men. Low testosterone causes:
Recharging testosterone revives men's power, performance, and passion for living. It also reduces metabolic disease, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease, and Alzheimer's risk.
Renew Health Clinic expertly prescribes testosterone and supplementary hormones in bioidentical forms and doses optimized to each man's needs for safely and effectively overcoming deficiencies, eliminating frustrating symptoms, and enhancing physical and mental functioning.
While bioidentical hormones serve as the centerpiece of treatment, optimizing lifestyle appropriately supports and amplifies benefits. Our clinicians provide personalized guidance regarding:
Nutrition – Specific dietary changes to better balance blood sugar, curb inflammation, support detoxification, and supply needed micronutrients can make hormone therapy far more effective. We offer nutrition plans tailored to your needs.
Exercise – New research shows certain types of workouts potently boost testosterone and growth hormone levels while also improving insulin sensitivity. Our exercise strategists create custom fitness plans amplifying hormone therapy benefits.
Stress Management – Chronic stress disrupts hormone pathways, undermining treatment efforts. Learning effective relaxation techniques restores hormonal balance, supercharging treatment outcomes. We teach stress mastery skills vital for success.
Sleep Hygiene – Poor sleep sabotages hormonal health. Prioritizing proper sleep enhances the body's hormone-regulating circadian rhythms and directly affects treatment efficacy. We provide sleep optimization guidance essential for best results.
Toxin Avoidance – Environmental pollutants and chemicals dysregulate hormones through endocrine disruption. Reducing exposures improves hormone balance and offsets hormone resistance for better treatment outcomes.
Ideally, hormone balance gets checked and corrected:
The substantial and wide-ranging benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy make it wise to begin treatment sooner rather than later. Detecting hormone deficiencies early and addressing them proactively with bioidentical hormones pays big dividends in terms of health, quality of life, and longevity.
Balancing key hormones using replacement dosages of bioidentical versions attuned to your individual biochemistry offers transformative revitalization for those dealing with low energy, sexual issues, hot flashes, weight gain, sleep problems, memory lapses, and emotional difficulties.
