Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can restore optimal levels, allowing patients to feel healthy, energetic and youthful again.
Synthetic hormone medications are not structurally identical to human hormones. They can fail to adequately bind receptors in the body or accumulate to unhealthy levels. In contrast, body recognizes bioidentical hormones as natural, allowing for excellent regulation and metabolism. Bioidentical hormones precisely supplement deficiencies without unwanted side effects.
The first step is diagnostic testing to identify deficient hormones. We offer advanced hormone tests to comprehensively evaluate testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol and more. Reviewing symptoms and medical history during a consultation also provides important clues about potential imbalances.
Common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance in both men and women include:
No two patients have identical hormone profiles or treatment goals. We develop fully personalized plans comprising bioidentical hormones hand-crafted to fit each individual’s physiology and needs. Customization allows us to restore optimal levels efficiently.
After diagnosing deficiencies, we thoughtfully select from bioidentical versions of key hormones like:
The most prominent male sex hormone. It promotes libido, bone/muscle health, energy, cognitive function and more. Declines with age or due to conditions like hypogonadism.
Important for female reproductive health and characteristics. Also helps maintain healthy bones, brain function, skin elasticity and cardiovascular health in both sexes.
Works synergistically with estrogen to regulate menstrual cycles plus support pregnancy in women. In both sexes, it aids sleep quality, mood stability and nerve conduction.
A precursor to testosterone and estrogen. Supports energy levels, immunity, muscle retention, thyroid function, mood and libido. Levels peak in early adulthood then decline.
A master precursor hormone converted into cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone as needed. It enhances energy, memory, mood and stress resilience.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Though marketed as "natural," the body processes bioidentical estrogens and progestins very similarly to synthetic versions. More research is still needed on their long-term effects.
Sustainably achieving optimal hormone levels requires choosing an effective delivery method. We offer multiple bioidentical hormone administration options including:
Absorbed through skin directly into the bloodstream, creams conveniently provide steady, systemic dosing. Creams containing progesterone, testosterone, estriol or DHEA are painless to apply.
Also called lozenges, these slowly dissolve in the mouth to deliver bioidentical hormones via mucous membranes for rapid uptake. Convenient for busy patients, troches work well for hormones like testosterone, estradiol and DHEA.
Administered subcutaneously or into muscle tissue. Injectable bioidentical hormones include testosterone cypionate or enanthate, estradiol valerate or cypionate, and progesterone in oil. Provide pulsatile dosing that closely mimics natural patterns.
Tiny hormone pellets are inserted under the skin via quick office procedure, then steadily dissolve over months. Avoid needing frequent dosing while achieving remarkably stable blood levels long-term.
Inserted capsules directly deliver bioidentical progesterone or estriol to vaginal tissue. Useful for treating urogenital symptoms of menopause like dryness or discomfort during intimacy.
We provide comprehensive lifestyle guidance to optimize hormone balance including nutrition, supplements, sleep quality, stress reduction and appropriate exercise. Connecting with community support groups and online forums can also be very helpful when starting HRT.
Good sleep hygiene, stress management practices like yoga, nutritious whole foods diet and regular movement can profoundly improve hormone therapy outcomes. Certain nutrients and botanicals also beneficially support hormone metabolism. Our practitioners can recommend science-backed complementary strategies personalized for your needs.

We make the process as smooth as possible from start to finish so you can simply focus on feeling your best again soon. Our goal is sustainably restoring the vibrant energy, sharp mind and positive mood that healthy hormone levels bring.
Hormone imbalances can develop slowly over many years, allowing the body to initially compensate and mask deficiencies. This can delay accurate diagnosis and create reluctance to seek treatment.
However, gradually worsening deficiencies contribute to many undesirable mental and physical declines frequently misattributed merely to aging or genetics. Restoring balance earlier maintains health and vigor throughout life’s phases, and avoids progression to more disruptive endpoints.
Therefore, we recommend adults be evaluated for hormone imbalances during routine wellness exams. Diagnosing and correcting deficiencies promptly, even if subtle initially, pays dividends by optimizing wellbeing longer.
Combining testing, proper diagnosis and bioidentical replacement early provides the best opportunity for patients to sustain zestful lifestyles. We also track progress carefully over months and years to continually adapt treatment as aging brings natural fluctuations.
