Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces. They are custom-formulated to match your individual hormonal needs through compounding, which is the process of preparing personalized medications.
Unlike synthetic hormones used in traditional hormone replacement, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure that is the same as the hormones naturally produced by your body. This means your body recognizes and can efficiently utilize them.
Some examples of bioidentical hormones include:
The human body best absorbs hormones when their shape and composition mimics what would be found intrinsically. With the right balance, bioidentical hormone therapy can help optimize your wellbeing.
Synthetic hormones have a different molecular structure than human hormones, so they can produce intensified side effects and potentially increase your risk of developing certain illnesses like cancer or stroke when used long term.
Bioidentical hormones have the same structure that naturally occur in the human body, which allows for a more balanced therapy. Preliminary studies have shown a decreased association with the development of cancer and other possible conditions.
With bioidentical hormones, you can customize the types and doses according to your individual requirements. This level of personalization is not possible with synthetic hormones.
There are a few ways your physician may administer bioidentical hormones:
During your initial exam at Balance Hormone Clinic, our physicians will evaluate your hormonal levels and determine the optimum route of administration based on your requirements.
Because each person's hormone balance and needs are unique, bioidentical hormone therapy relies on very personalized diagnostics and prescription formularies.

For many adults, hormone deficiencies can cause problematic symptoms. Replacing vital hormones can help you achieve optimal wellness to continue living your best life.
Decreased vital hormone levels can negatively impact your quality of life with symptoms like brain fog, insomnia, loss of sex drive, weight gain and fatigue. Left untreated, long term deficiencies may contribute to serious health conditions.
That's why prompt evaluation and bioidentical hormone therapy to address imbalances can be so crucial for restoring your wellbeing and protecting your future health.

Bioidentical hormones are not strictly "natural" as marketed - the hormones are chemically synthesized in a lab to match natural hormones. However, small tweaks make bioidentical estrogens last longer in the body than natural estrogens, allowing more convenient dosing like once-daily pills.
Alongside advanced bioidentical hormone replacement, certain lifestyle measures can also be very beneficial for supporting wellness during treatment:
Consuming a routine diet focused on whole, minimally processed foods abundant in a rainbow of vegetables, high fiber grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins provides vital nutrients that promote hormone health like zinc, magnesium and vitamin D.
It's also ideal to limit added sugars, refined flour products and saturated fats as these foods can negatively impact inflammation, insulin resistance and weight - all influencers on hormones.
Our team provides personalized nutrition guidance based on your needs and health objectives to derive maximum benefit from lifestyle and hormone therapy.
Managing stress through regular relaxation activities like brisk walking, yoga, meditation, massage, spending time in nature and positive social connection can substantially influence hormone balance.
Mastering stress and cultivating more joy on a daily basis gives your body the best environment for hormone optimization. We offer biofeedback, counseling referrals or supplements like calming herbs that can further augment stress relief.
Recharging each night through 7-9 hours of quality sleep allows critical hormones to follow natural circadian rhythms and rhythms so many regulatory processes like tissue repair, blood sugar regulation, metabolism and brain detoxification can occur.
