Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminishing hormones with bioidentical versions can alleviate symptoms and promote better health.
Balance Health Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones biologically identical to those your body makes. We create customized treatment plans to restore hormone balance safely.
Bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure exactly matching endogenous human hormones but are synthesized from plant sources. They are as close to your body's own hormones as possible.
The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones are:
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over traditional synthetic versions:
BHRT can provide relief from:
Restoring hormones to optimal levels also promotes heart health, bone density, skin elasticity, and mental acuity.

We offer hormone testing to identify imbalances precisely before beginning therapy. Follow-up appointments ensure optimal hormone levels are achieved and maintained.
Estrogen and progesterone work synergistically for women's health. Declines in these hormones lead to:

Low testosterone (Low-T) afflicts many men as they age. The most common symptoms include:
An underactive thyroid slows your metabolism. Hypothyroidism symptoms involve:
Hyperthyroidism, the overactive thyroid state, produces rapid unintended weight loss, racing heart, increased perspiration, anxiety, and diarrhea.

Speak to your healthcare provider about testing if experiencing any persistent symptoms suggestive of hormonal decline.
Balance Health Clinic offers cutting-edge diagnostic labs to uncover the biological reasons you may not feel well. Precision balancing of hormones can improve quality of life profoundly.
The first step toward treating hormonal deficiencies involves diagnostic testing to identify precisely where imbalances exist.
Various laboratory assessments can analyze hormone status:
We utilize advanced diagnostics laboratories providing a diverse menu of highly specific hormone assays:
Estrogen - Estradiol, Estrone, Estriol Progesterone Testosterone - Total and Free DHEA-Sulfate Thyroid - T3, T4, TSH Vitamin D
Testing enables tailoring personalized bioidentical hormone therapy for your body’s unique needs. Follow-up lab work also helps us adjust dosing to optimal.

There are numerous techniques to dose bioidentical hormones:
Balance Health Clinicians are proficient in all options to create the perfect plan for your lifestyle.
Every treatment protocol begins with an in-depth medical history, symptom evaluation, physical examination, and hormone testing.
No two people’s hormone therapy regimen looks alike because no two people are exactly the same. We prescribe just the right amount based on your individual requirements.
Meticulous fine-tuning of doses helps optimize improvements while minimizing side effects. Follow-up testing permits adjusting as needed.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Well-designed studies comparing bioidentical estradiol to synthetic estradiol found no differences in breast cancer risk, heart disease risk, or cognitive function over 5-10 years. More research is still needed on their long-term safety.
Restoring depleted hormones alleviates unpleasant symptoms for enhanced wellbeing. You may realize benefits such as:
Balancing hormones rejuvenates zest for life. Patients report feeling less fatigued with renewed activeness. Testosterone especially amplifies vigor.
Adequate hormones encourage burning fat easier. Estrogen tells the body to store fat around hips/thighs rather than dangerous visceral abdominal areas.
Supplementing deficient estrogen or testosterone relieves their respective deficiency symptoms for men/women. hot flashes, sleep disruption, and sexual problems improve.
HGH thickens skin, testosterone builds muscle, and estrogen preserves bone density helping combat slowing metabolisms.
Mood stability, stress resilience, motivation, and cognition frequently improve with better hormone status.
Bioidentical HRT allows tapping into hormones’ rejuvenating potential through precision prescribing. Nutritionally supporting glands producing these chemicals naturally boosts therapy.
