Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective treatment option for both men and women experiencing hormone imbalance symptoms. BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows the bioidentical hormones to integrate seamlessly with the body's existing hormones.
At The Hormone Hub in Yuma, Arizona, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy programs to help patients find relief from symptoms related to menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormone imbalances.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the human body. The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones are:
Unlike synthetic hormones used in conventional hormone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced naturally in the body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors and helps the body recognize and utilize the hormones more effectively.
At The Hormone Hub, we believe that every patient is biochemically unique. We specialize in thoroughly analyzing each patient's lab results, symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle to create fully customized and comprehensive hormone balancing treatment plans.
Our board-certified practitioners spend quality time listening to patients to accurately assess their needs before designing programs using bioidentical hormones, nutrition plans, and lifestyle changes to help patients regain optimal hormone balance from within.
We partner with specialty compounding pharmacies to prepare personalized doses,combinations and delivery methods of bioidentical hormones tailored to each patient's needs.
Synthetic hormones commonly used in traditional hormone replacement therapies are not structurally identical to human hormones. This causes them to interact differently with the body's hormone receptors, often resulting in unpleasant side effects.
Some key advantages of bioidentical over synthetic hormone replacement therapy include:
The Hormone Hub practitioners have extensive experience in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. We stay up to date on the latest medical research to provide patients with the most effective and safest therapies using bioidentical hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can effectively treat hormone imbalances and deficiency symptoms related to:
As women approach menopause, declining estrogen levels frequently cause unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, insomnia, weight gain, and mood changes.
Bioidentical estrogens and progesterone can provide safe and effective relief by restoring hormone balance and reducing menopausal symptoms. This helps women transition through menopause while maintaining wellbeing.
Age-related decline in testosterone levels causes andropause in men, leading to symptoms like low energy, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and emotional changes.
Testosterone replacement therapy using bioidentical testosterone helps men overcome the effects of andropause and recapture their vitality.
The thyroid hormones T3 and T4 regulate metabolism. Low thyroid function, or hypothyroidism, causes fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, and even depression.
Bioidentical thyroid hormone replacement can correct hormone deficiency and safely relieve hypothyroidism symptoms without side effects.
Prolonged stress can tire out the adrenal glands, causing adrenal fatigue. This leads to exhaustion, body aches, sleep issues, and irritability.
Balancing key adrenal hormones like DHEA and cortisol using bioidenticals alleviates adrenal fatigue. Supportive treatments further strengthen the adrenals.
Hormonal imbalances can negatively impact fertility in both women and men. Bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone therapy helps restore optimal levels needed for conception.
Patients dealing with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses often have underlying hormone deficiencies that exacerbate their symptoms and disease progression.
Bioidentical HRT helps strengthen overall wellbeing to help cope with and support recovery from chronic illness.
Age-related decline in growth hormone, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid and other hormones can accelerate aging and disease. Bioidentical hormone replacement optimizes hormonal balance to support wellness and slow aging.
We begin by ordering comprehensive lab testing to check your baseline hormone levels along with other important health markers. This helps us accurately identify any hormone deficiencies or imbalances.
Based on your test results and symptoms, our practitioners will determine which bioidentical hormone therapies are best suited for your needs.
We also routinely recheck labs during treatment to ensure your hormone levels are being optimized within your target ranges for ideal symptom relief.
During the initial patient evaluation, we will review your lab results, medical history, and lifestyle to identify possible factors contributing to your hormone imbalance, such as:
After thoroughly evaluating your labs and medical history, our practitioners will design a customized bioidentical hormone replacement plan just for you.
We partner with specialty compounding pharmacies to formulate personalized bioidentical hormone combinations, doses and delivery methods (oral, sublingual, topical creams, vaginal inserts, pellets, injectables) designed for your needs.
The treatment plan will also include nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to help you naturally balance hormone levels from within.
Follow-up lab testing and clinical monitoring ensures optimal symptom relief. We will make dosage adjustments as needed to keep your bioidentical hormone levels balanced properly.
In addition to follow-up lab testing and progress evaluations, we are available to provide ongoing support through your hormone balancing journey:
Our goal is to provide complete individualized care that helps you successfully restore hormonal balance, health and wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide an alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Studies show bioidentical estradiol and progesterone help relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes without raising heart disease or breast cancer risk, unlike synthetics. The body recognizes plant-based bioidenticals as natural, leading to better hormonal balance.
Patients who opt for customized BHRT under the care of an experienced practitioner often enjoy benefits such as:
Correcting deficient or imbalanced hormones alleviates unpleasant symptoms and restores wellbeing.
Optimizing key hormones results in increased energy, stamina, and ability to carry out daily activities.
Balanced hormone levels sharpen mental acuity and focus while elevating mood and emotional wellbeing.
Hormone optimization has a calming effect, reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, and being overwhelmed.
Restoring optimal melatonin and other hormone levels regulates sleep/wake cycles for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Declining estrogen, testosterone and other sex hormones impair libido and sexual function. BHRT can successfully restore healthy sexual vitality.
Balanced hormones and lower stress enhance immune function and resistance to colds, flu and infections.
The right hormone balance helps optimize lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, and achieve a fit physique.
Thyroid and other metabolic hormones regulate metabolism to support consistent healthy body weight.
Estrogen and testosterone play vital roles in building and maintaining bone mineral density as we age.
Optimizing hormone balance helps lower heart disease risk factors like high cholesterol and triglycerides.
Maintaining optimal hormone levels reduces risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disease.
Balanced hormones improve collagen production for supple skin, and stimulate thicker, fuller hair growth.
Comprehensive hormone optimization slows aging to extend healthy lifespan and enhance quality of life.
These are just some of the many potential benefits patients can achieve through expertly prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement therapies. The earlier treatment is implemented, the better the outcomes.
Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to natural human hormones. Synthetic hormones have a different structure that may not fit human hormone receptors properly.
