Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many processes in the body. When hormone levels drop below optimal ranges, patients may experience potentially debilitating symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore hormone balance, alleviate deficiency symptoms, and enable patients to thrive again.
The most common hormone deficiencies include low testosterone in men, and low estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women. Imbalances in these key hormones lead to issues like:
The root causes underlying hormone deficiencies can vary significantly between patients. At Optimal Hormone Solutions, we conduct comprehensive lab testing to accurately identify each patient’s unique imbalances and health status. Common tests include:
After diagnostic testing, our highly-trained bioidentical hormone doctors analyze results to determine the optimal combination and dosing of bioidentical hormones to resolve deficiencies and symptoms for each patient.
We create fully personalized plans detailing:
Follow-up testing occurs at regular intervals to ensure hormone levels stabilize within ideal ranges and patients experience maximal benefits. We adjust protocols as needed based on patient symptoms and lab results.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced in the human body. This allows them to bind perfectly with hormone receptors and get utilized just like the hormones our bodies make.
There are two main types of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT):
At Optimal Hormone Solutions, we use both body-identical and natural bioidentical hormones to optimize treatment efficacy.
- Fewer side effects – As identical replicas of endogenous human hormones, properly dosed bioidentical hormones rarely cause adverse reactions.
Patients visit Optimal Hormone Solutions seeking relief from sometimes debilitating deficiency symptoms that negatively impact quality of life.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can successfully alleviate symptoms, enabling patients to feel healthy, energetic and youthful again.
With balanced hormones from BHRT, patients often report: - Resurgence of energy, stamina and mental clarity - Increased muscle strength and easier fat loss - Improved mood with less anxiety and irritability - Enhanced libido and sexual satisfaction - Better sleep quality with reduced night sweats - Elimination of hot flashes - Relief from vaginal dryness and discomfort - Sharper memory, focus and concentration - Strengthened bones and lower fracture risk - Reduced disease risk factors - Renewed enthusiasm for pursuing passions and enjoying life
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 superiority rely more on ideology than evidence.
Patients sometimes suffer from hormone deficiency symptoms for years before seeking help. However, prolonged imbalances can have deleterious effects. That’s why timely treatment is imperative.
Hormone deficiencies significantly increase risks for various diseases like:
The earlier treatment commences, the more effectively we can mitigate disease progression and safeguard health. That’s why we urge patients not to delay. If you relate to common deficiency symptoms, schedule testing so we can develop your BHRT plan.
Ideally, patients should get tested for hormone imbalances whenever experiencing potential deficiency symptoms. However, key times when testing proves especially useful include:
Women - Perimenopause – Age 35-50 when periods start becoming irregular signaling declining fertility - Menopause – Official one year mark after a woman’s last period
Men - Age 30 when testosterone begins slowly declining
We also recommend retesting hormone levels periodically during treatment to ensure protocols get properly adjusted for maximum benefits.
