Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief from uncomfortable hormone deficiency symptoms and help patients regain optimal health. At Renew Hormone Institute in Belmont, our experienced medical staff provides customized BHRT programs to suit each patient's unique needs.
Hormone imbalances often develop gradually, but can seriously impact quality of life. Symptoms may include:
- Low libido - Erectile dysfunction - Loss of muscle mass - Weight gain, particularly abdominal fat - Depression, irritability - Fatigue - Loss of body and facial hair
- Hot flashes - Night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Unexplained weight gain - Sleep disturbances - Brain fog, memory lapses - Stress incontinence - Loss of skin elasticity
Left untreated, hormone deficiencies can contribute to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and loss of vitality or shortened lifespan.
Bioidentical hormone replacement utilizes lab-made hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body. This allows the treatment to seamlessly integrate and restore optimal hormone levels safely and effectively.
Potential benefits include reduced:
- Fatigue - Loss of muscle and bone mass - Belly fat accumulation - Irritability and mood issues - Sexual dysfunction
- Hot flashes and night sweats - Vaginal dryness or discomfort - Urinary issues - Sleep disturbances - Memory or concentration problems - Joint pain and muscular discomfort
In addition, both men and women often report increased:
Balancing hormone levels may also lower risks for diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Studies indicate bioidentical estrogen may help postmenopausal women avoid typical bone loss, reducing chances of developing osteoporosis.
Hormone optimization can help patients look and feel younger by:
The term "bioidentical" means the hormone molecule matches exactly to endogenous human hormones. At Renew Hormone Institute, we utilize FDA-approved bioidentical testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and other hormone preparations tailored to each patient's needs.
Unlike mass-produced drugs, our bioidentical hormones are custom-formulated based on the patient's hormone testing results, lifestyle factors, medical history and treatment goals. This personalized approach provides more precise, effective therapy.
The bioidentical hormones we use are synthesized from plant compounds that mimic human hormones. This may explain why bioidentical hormones can be less likely to cause side effects compared to synthetic versions.
Our clinic offers bioidentical hormones via oral, topical or injectable methods for maximum flexibility and convenience. The specific mode depends on the hormone(s) prescribed and patient preference.
The Renew Hormone Institute team specializes in precision testing, analysis and treatments to restore health and vitality. Our streamlined process starts with:
A comprehensive medical history and evaluation of symptoms helps determine likelihood of hormonal imbalance versus other issues. This guides proper testing.
We utilize advanced diagnostic testing to check baseline sex and adrenal hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Testing may reveal multiple imbalances.
In some cases, we recommend additional panels to uncover nutritional deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, and biomarkers for heart disease, diabetes or cancer risks related to long-term hormonal issues.
Our practitioners carefully assess hormone blood test results in context of the patient's age, gender, health status, risk factors and symptoms to determine the best course of treatment.
After a full review of medical history and diagnostic results, we design a personalized bioidentical hormone replacement regimen to restore balance.
Hormone levels require consistent monitoring and periodic adjustments for continued safety and efficacy. We schedule follow-up blood tests and medical check-ins accordingly as part of our standard protocol.
We provide science-based guidance on nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene and stress reduction techniques that support hormone health and complement BHRT.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Well-designed studies comparing bioidenticals to FDA-approved hormones are lacking, so claims about superiority over synthetics remain unproven. More research is needed.
Hormonal systems profoundly impact health and vitality. Over time, deficiencies can trigger systemic inflammation, accelerate aging, hinder disease prevention and degrade quality of life.
The key is early detection and prompt treatment before chronic issues take hold. Even moderately low hormone levels that produce no or vague symptoms can start undermining long-term wellbeing.
We strive to uncover hormonal dysfunction at the earliest stage. This allows treatment via bioidentical HRT to halt or reverse subtle decline before it progresses to obvious disease. Patients report feeling 10 to 15 years younger after properly balancing key hormones!
