Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can provide life-changing relief of symptoms and restoration of wellbeing for those with hormone imbalances. As leaders in bio identical hormone treatments, Balance Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge therapies to help patients regain health. Read on to learn about common deficiency signs, potential benefits, procedural basics and the importance of timely treatment.
Hormones act as chemical messengers throughout the body, regulating virtually all major processes from metabolism and growth to reproduction and cognition. When certain hormones fall out of optimal ranges, wide-ranging symptoms can result.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. At Balance Hormone Clinic, treatments utilize these plant-based compounds for customized therapy tailored to restore hormonal balance.
Imbalances often arise from:
Catching and addressing deficiencies early is key to avoiding complications down the road. We specialize in testing and treatments for both men and women.
The wide variety of processes regulated by hormones means one or more deficiencies can manifest in diverse ways. Common symptoms include:
- Depression - Anxiety - Irritability - Poor focus and memory - Reduced stress resilience
- Unexplained weight gain - Sleep disruptions - Persistent fatigue - Reduced libido - Muscle loss and weakness
- Irregular periods - Heavy or painful periods - Hot flashes - Vaginal dryness
After specialized testing identifies specific deficiencies, our practitioners develop tailored bioidentical hormone therapy. This may include:
- Testosterone - Estrogen - Progesterone - DHEA - Thyroid (T3 & T4)
- Supplements to aid hormone production - Diet & lifestyle optimization - Stress management techniques
Monitoring and modifications ensure optimal balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. However, there is some debate around whether bioidenticals offer additional benefits and safety compared to synthetics when used in hormone therapy.
Seeking timely treatment for hormone imbalance can halt progression of symptoms and help avoid complications including:
Our expertise identifies deficits early when treatment is most effective and restoration of wellness easiest to achieve.

- Physical activity, even simple walking, helps regulate hormone levels and reduce inflammatory factors.
