Bioidentical hormones are substances that have a chemical structure identical to those produced naturally in the human body. They are formulated from plant sources and are biochemically equivalent to our own human hormones.
BHRT involves prescribing individually tailored combinations of bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and other hormones to treat deficiency symptoms and restore wellness. The dosage can be precisely adjusted for each patient based on symptoms, lab tests, age, and other factors.
Benefits of properly prescribed BHRT may include:
When administered correctly under medical supervision, bioidentical hormones offer a more natural hormonal balance without the downsides associated with synthetic hormone drugs.
The first step is recognizing the signs of possible hormone deficiency:
* Low testosterone in men: low libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, weight gain, fatigue, depression, poor concentration * Estrogen deficiency in women: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping * Thyroid disorders: fatigue, low mood, weight gain or loss, irregular periods, feeling cold * Growth hormone decline: less muscle mass, bone loss, weight gain, thinning skin and hair
Blood tests, medical history reviews, genetic testing, and physical exams allow physicians to investigate which hormones are out of optimal range. Common assessments include:
Vitality Balance Clinic will thoroughly assess hormone levels and symptoms to create a personalized treatment plan.
After establishing a diagnosis, Vitality Balance Clinic physicians will customize an appropriate hormone therapy regimen.
Protocols vary substantially based on the patient's:
Hormone delivery methods that may be prescribed include:
These bioidentical hormones bypass first-pass liver metabolism for better efficacy than oral tablets.
Follow-up blood tests are used to monitor progress and adjust dosages accordingly over long-term care. Patients receive guidance about complementary lifestyle changes for best treatment outcomes.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors and potentially produce fewer side effects than their synthetic counterparts when used for menopausal symptom relief and anti-aging therapies.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress reduction provide the foundation for balanced endocrine function. Vitality Balance Clinic advises BHRT patients about certain lifestyle measures to improve hormone therapy effectiveness:
Adopting healthier daily habits optimizes reproductive hormone balance, nutrient intake, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and mental well-being - all of which enhance hormone replacement effectiveness.
