Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA play crucial regulatory roles in our bodies. When hormone levels decline due to aging or other factors, wide-ranging symptoms can result. Low estrogen is associated with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bladder issues, and loss of collagen, while low testosterone often causes low libido, fatigue, weight gain, and depression in men.
Detecting and addressing hormone imbalances through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help both women and men feel youthful, energized, and healthy again. Bioidentical hormones are identical in structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Made from plant sources, they are safe and effective at relieving deficiency symptoms when prescribed properly and monitored through regular blood testing.
Hormone Harmony Clinic specializes in BHRT and provides customized treatment plans to help patients regain optimal hormone balance. We offer cutting-edge testing, only prescribe FDA-approved hormones, and closely track patient progress to ensure results. Read on to learn all about bioidentical hormones and their incredible benefits.
Though some amount of hormone decline is normal with aging, certain individuals are at higher risk for developing more extreme deficiencies that warrant medical treatment. Those likely to benefit from hormone replacement therapy include:
The best candidates for HRT have blood tests confirming their hormone levels are below optimal ranges. Different hormones peak at different ages, so target levels are age and sex-specific. Common deficient hormones we test for and treat include:
Even if your hormone levels are within “normal” bounds, they may still be inadequate for your body and producing bothersome symptoms. We look holistically at all patient factors when designing HRT treatment plans. Symptoms that could improve with properly-administered bioidentical hormones include:
While many hormone therapies utilize manmade or foreign hormones that may not fully match human physiology, bioidentical hormone replacement provides naturally identical hormones customized to your needs for seamless integration and response.
The term “bioidentical” means the molecular structure of the hormones exactly matches endogenous human hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we use high quality USP-verified bioidentical hormones derived from yams and soy then professionally formulated to match natural hormones.
There is no “one size fits all” hormone therapy. Based on your symptoms, medical history, lab testing, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals, we design fully personalized plans with careful hormone selections and dosing. Through ongoing monitoring for safety and efficacy, adjustments are made to optimize your hormone balance.
While no medication is 100% without risk, bioidentical hormones demonstrate an excellent safety profile when properly administered under medical supervision. The risks of untreated hormone imbalances also shouldn’t be downplayed. We monitor your labs, health status, and symptoms closely to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize adverse effects from treatment.
Our exceptional providers, state-of-the-art Southlake facility, and commitment to evidence-based care give patients confidence in achieving their desired outcomes.
Accurately assessing your hormone levels through blood, saliva, or urine testing helps determine which hormones you may benefit from replacing. These are some of the key hormones we test and replace using bioidentical hormones.
Declining estrogen is an inevitable part of menopause. Low levels cause disruptive symptoms impacting sleep, mood, sexual health, heart health, and appearance. We offer bioidentical estradiol to relieving symptoms and help women feel their best.
Estradiol testing helps us identify candidates for estrogen replacement therapy. Based on the results and patient symptoms, we develop a customized regimen which may include:
The appropriate estrogen preparation, dose, and administration method depends on the unique clinical picture. We teach proper application and then monitor via symptoms and follow up blood tests.
Testosterone deficiency becomes increasingly common in older men but also occurs in younger men. Low testosterone promotes obesity, depression, osteoporosis, muscle loss, fatigue, and mental decline.
We provide cutting-edge testosterone replacement to help men optimize physical, mental and sexual health. Treatment typically includes testosterone cypionate injections but we also offer:
Careful symptom evaluation and lab testing helps guide precise, effective testosterone therapy. Follow ups and bloodwork track progress. We develop nutrition and fitness recommendations to complement treatment.
Thyroid disorders create misery compounding the effects of menopause or andropause. We test levels of thyroid hormones like T3, T4 and TSH then use medications like synthroid to optimize low thyroid function or reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Supportive thyroid treatment enhances other hormone replacement outcomes.
DHEA, or Dehydroepiandrosterone, belongs to a special category of androgen precursor hormones that exerts its own effects while converting into other hormones. DHEA levels peak around age 25 then decline. Supplementing DHEA can enhance libido, energy, fitness, and cognition. We offer DHEA capsules or sublingual drops.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking, so claims of superior safety and efficacy often rely more on ideology than evidence.
Bioidentical HRT provides immense symptom relief and anti-aging effects when paired with healthy lifestyle modifications. We provide patients with evidence-based recommendations to complement treatment.
Following a nutritious whole foods diet supports hormone balance and effectiveness of replacement. We advise emphasizing healthy fats, high-fiber carbohydrates, and detox-supporting vegetables while limiting sugar. Stress management aids hormone optimization so we teach relaxation techniques.
Quality sleep allows hormones like melatonin, growth hormone and testosterone to follow normal circadian rhythms. Getting 7-9 hours night helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, brain health – all of which interplay with balanced hormone levels.
Exercise programming depends on your needs and limitations but staying active helps optimize hormones, brain function, heart health, weight management, and disease prevention. We explain how to exercise effectively without overexertion.
Hormone changes influence mood regulation and vice versa. Psychotherapy, social connection, stress-reduction skills, and sufficient sleep offer holistic support for emotional health. We screen for mental health issues and provide referrals to trusted professionals.
Our integrative care models the close interrelationship between hormones, nutrition, fitness, emotions and whole body wellness.
