Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a way to alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance that often accompany aging and menopause. BHRT from Harmony Hormone Center in Walnut uses customized hormone compounds tailored to your unique hormonal needs to help you feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This makes them easily recognizable and well-tolerated by hormone receptors.
Hormone production starts declining around age 30-35. By age 40-50, many people develop more noticeable signs and symptoms of hormone deficiency, including:
Balancing your hormones with bioidentical replacements from Harmony Hormone Center can help minimize these effects of aging.
Synthetic hormone medications are not molecularly identical to human hormones. As a result, they can cause unpleasant side effects and don’t offer all the same benefits as bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT).
Our skilled pharmacists individually compound each bioidentical hormone preparation based on your doctor’s prescriptions and your unique needs. This customization helps optimize treatment.
Our clinic focuses specifically on safe, effective bioidentical hormone restoration for women and men. Our medical providers stay current on the latest research and best practices in the field.
Our doctors have over 25 years combined experience using bioidentical hormones to treat symptoms related to menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormone imbalances.
They take time to listen to your concerns, evaluate your hormone levels, compound customized prescriptions, and monitor your progress on HRT.
Our onsite compounding pharmacy prepares your individualized BHRT prescriptions with care, using high-quality hormones and precise techniques. Convenient access to both doctors and pharmacy streamlines your treatment.
In addition to hormone therapy, we offer nutritional counseling, stress management techniques, fitness advice and referrals to therapists for whole-person care. Balancing hormones and lifestyle gives optimal results.
The first step is getting the right tests to identify any hormone deficiencies or excesses contributing to your symptoms.
Comprehensive hormone testing gives the best picture of your hormone balance. We test levels of hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones T3 and T4, and more.
Your Harmony Hormone Center doctor carefully reviews your test results along with your symptoms to determine if BHRT is right for you. We take the time to explain hormone testing values and create a customized treatment plan.
Once you begin BHRT, we recheck your hormone levels in 4-6 weeks to ensure proper hormone balance and dosage. Ongoing follow-ups help optimize your hormone therapy over time.
The specific hormones and dosages prescribed by your Harmony Hormone Center doctor depend on factors like your lab results, symptoms, medical history, age, and gender.
Most women begin BHRT to treat perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. We commonly prescribe:
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, contributing to loss of strength and stamina, weight gain, low libido, erectile dysfunction, poor concentration and depressed mood in some men. We offer:
Low thyroid function causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and sensitivity to cold. Balancing T3 and T4 thyroid hormones helps resolve these issues.
If cortisol levels are too high or low over time due to chronic stress, this can impact mood, immunity, weight, sleep quality, and other aspects of wellness. We offer customized hydrocortisone or pregnenolone as needed to help normalize cortisol levels.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Plant-derived bioidentical estrogens and progesterone have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally made by the ovaries, but clinical evidence on their long-term safety and efficacy is limited.
Don’t dismiss persistent signs of hormone imbalance as just a normal part of aging. There are significant health risks to prolonged hormone deficiency, including:
The good news is that these consequences of hormone decline are largely preventable and reversible through properly prescribed BHRT customized for your needs by the experts at Harmony Hormone Center!
It’s important not to take over-the-counter hormone supplements without medical guidance, however. Unmonitored hormone use raises your risk of side effects and imbalanced levels.
Let Harmony Hormone Center help you determine if BHRT is appropriate, tailor your prescriptions, provide ongoing monitoring, and partner with you to optimize your hormone health safely!
