Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many processes in the body. When hormone levels decline, people may experience troublesome signs and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Some common hormone deficiencies include:
Symptoms: low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, irritability, depression.
Causes: aging, injury/trauma, medications, chronic illness, obesity.
Symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, bone loss.
Causes: perimenopause/menopause, ovary removal surgery, eating disorders, excessive exercise.
Symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, dry skin and hair, depression.
Causes: Hashimoto's disease, hyperthyroidism treatment, thyroid removal surgery.
Symptoms: irregular periods, infertility, mood instability, sleep problems.
Causes: perimenopause/menopause, chronic stress, birth control pills.
Symptoms: loss of lean muscle mass, bone density loss, fatigue, low libido.
Causes: aging (DHEA peaks around age 25).
Timely testing and treatment can prevent symptoms from worsening over time. New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides comprehensive care to help patients regain optimal hormonal balance.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical versions of the hormones produced naturally in the body. They are custom-formulated in a compounding pharmacy using plant sources to match your individual hormonal needs.
Key features that set bioidentical hormones apart:
For many people, bioidentical hormone replacement balances hormones for improved wellbeing. Treatment should always be guided by testing to ensure hormones are adjusted to optimal levels.
Bioidentical hormone therapy may relieve unpleasant symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance and support better health in:
Declining estrogen and progesterone leads to symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, and accelerated bone loss. Balancing these hormones curtails symptoms while also promoting heart health, emotional wellbeing, and osteoporosis prevention.
Low testosterone afflicts 30% of men over age 50. Restoring testosterone to healthy ranges revives libido and erectile function while building lean muscle mass. It also lifts mood, energy, and cognition.
Thyroid issues often require balancing multiple hormones for full symptom relief. Custom compounded thyroid hormones ensure precise adjustment of T3 and T4 levels.
Stress and illness can deplete cortisol levels leading to profound fatigue. Optimizing DHEA and cortisol levels aide recovery.
Bioidentical hormones provide targeted relief for hormone deficiency syndromes. They can greatly improve quality of life when prescribed appropriately.
We begin with an extensive medical history and evaluation of your signs, symptoms and pertinent lab testing. This helps determine which hormones may be imbalanced. We then order follow-up testing if needed.
Your bioidentical hormone therapy is tailored to your individual needs and hormonal deficiencies evident on lab testing. We prescribe high quality bioidentical hormones in physiological doses and continually monitor your labs and symptoms to make dosage adjustments.
Hormones can be administered as oral capsules, sublingual drops, topical creams or injectable pellets for steady circulation. Pellet therapy provides hands-off hormone delivery for 3-6 months.
Follow-up visits evaluate your response to therapy through lab testing and symptom evaluation. We adjust dosing accordingly to help you achieve optimal hormonal balance for feeling your best long-term.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we make the process of bioidentical replacement easy, effective and tailored to your specific needs for balanced hormones and better health.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopause symptoms. Plant-derived bioidentical estrogens and progesterone have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally made by the ovaries, but evidence on risks and benefits compared to synthetic hormones remains inconclusive.
Detecting hormone deficiencies begins with evaluating common symptoms along with key lab tests. These may include:
Reviewing collective signs, symptoms and testing, we pinpoint likely hormone insufficiencies for customized bioidentical replacement.
These are some of the major bioidentical hormones we commonly prescribe:
Testosterone * Boosts libido, energy, cognitive function * Builds lean muscles, strengthens bones * Improves mood, motivation and confidence
Estrogen * Alleviates hot flashes, night sweats * Prevents vaginal atrophy and loss of elasticity * Protects heart health & bone density * Supports emotional regulation and memory
Progesterone * Regulates menstrual cycle * Thickens uterine lining to support pregnancy * Promotes calm mood and restful sleep * Aids bone building
Thyroid * Boosts metabolism and energy levels * Lifts mood, mental clarity * Regulates weight, digestion and temperature * Supports hair, skin and nail health
Balancing all key hormones alleviates deficiency symptoms for markedly improved wellbeing.
For sustained hormone delivery, subcutaneous hormone pellets implanted under the skin steadily release bioidentical hormones for 3-6 months.
