Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can effectively treat issues like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, and more.
At Balance Hormone Clinic in Oregon, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). With an integrative approach focused on your unique needs, we can help you regain optimal wellness through natural hormone balance.
Imbalances in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and DHEA can cause wide-ranging symptoms. Common signs of deficiency include:
Irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, fatigue, trouble sleeping, anxiety, weight gain.
Insomnia, anxiety, irregular cycles, fatigue, weight gain.
Low libido, fatigue, depression, weight gain, muscle loss, erectile dysfunction.
Fatigue, anxiety, depression, cold sensitivity, muscle aches, hair thinning, weight gain.
Insomnia, anxiety, depression, weight gain, high blood pressure.
Fatigue, joint pain, depression, low libido, trouble building muscle.
Left untreated, persistent hormone imbalance can negatively impact quality of life and long-term health. That's why timely testing, diagnosis and treatment are so important.
Restoring balance with bioidentical hormone therapy provides wide-ranging benefits:
Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings can be effectively treated with estrogen and progesterone therapy.
Optimal testosterone, thyroid and DHEA levels boost metabolism, endurance and vitality.
Balanced estrogen, progesterone, thyroid and cortisol enhance mood, focus and emotional wellbeing.
Proper estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and DHEA levels help regulate appetite, fat storage and metabolism.
Bioidentical progesterone and melatonin promote deeper, more restful sleep.
Testosterone therapy alleviates low desire and erectile difficulties in both men and women.
Testosterone stimulates collagen production for joint flexibility. Estrogen preserves bone mineral density.
Hormone balance helps lower risk for obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and dementia.
There are multiple delivery methods to choose from based on your lifestyle, preferences and treatment goals:
Customized capsules, tablets or sublingual drops taken daily provide a convenient option. Levels can fluctuate so frequent dosing is often needed.
Creams, gels and patches allow absorption through skin so hormones bypass the liver. Steady levels are achieved but application can be messy.
Testosterone, estrogen or other hormones can be injected weekly or bi-weekly for the most precise dosing. Takes more time but absorption is excellent.
Tiny hormone pellets are inserted under the skin every 3-6 months, providing consistent release as they dissolve slowly. Very convenient long-term option.
We thoughtfully determine optimal bioidentical hormones, combinations, doses and delivery methods tailored specifically for you. Follow-up testing ensures continual balance as your needs evolve over the long term.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors, which may help explain why some report fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormone medications.
At Balance Hormone Clinic, we specialize in an integrative functional medicine model to identify root causes of hormone imbalance and customize natural treatment plans, including:
Comprehensive laboratory assessment of all key hormones along with genetics, nutrients and markers of inflammation and metabolism. Testing panels are chosen based on symptoms and risks.
Prescriptions of bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and other hormones are carefully determined according to lab results, medical history and objectives. We skillfully adjust protocols over time to keep hormones balanced as needs change.
Diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and targeted nutraceutical protocols maximize treatment response. Healthy lifestyle changes can significantly impact hormone levels and reduce future risks.
We provide close long-term monitoring, accessibility between visits, community workshops and resources to help patients implement sustainable healthy habits for success.
The sooner hormone imbalance is identified and corrected, the faster relief of disruptive symptoms occurs and future negative health impacts can be avoided.
Osteopenia and osteoporosis risks increase substantially in the 5-10 years around menopause due to declining estrogen. Early treatment preserves bone density to prevent disease.
Estrogen deficiency accelerates plaque buildup in arteries. Restoring estrogen status helps avoid cardiovascular crises.
Low testosterone drives loss of lean body mass and muscle weakness, slowed metabolism, weight gain and diabetes risk. Optimizing levels preserves metabolic health.
Imbalances in key hormones rapidly deplete neurotransmitters influencing mood, motivation, memory and stress resilience. Prompt treatment relieves anxiety, depression, brain fog and more.
