Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are often used as part of hormone replacement therapy to help relieve unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance like fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, and more in both men and women.
Bioidentical hormones can be customized to match a patient's individual hormonal needs and metabolized just like endogenous hormones. This makes them an appealing option over synthetic or non-human versions that lack personalization.
At Vitality Wellness Center, our specialized bioidentical hormone doctors use cutting-edge testing and assessment methodologies to create fully individualized bioidentical hormone treatments for every patient. We help both men and women reclaim healthy, balanced hormone levels and reverse the negative impacts of deficiencies.
The first step in any hormonal wellness plan is assessing your current hormone levels via blood, saliva, or urine testing.
Vitality Wellness Center offers state-of-the-art testing to analyze levels of key hormones like:
Based on your test results, our specialized bioidentical doctors can identify any hormone imbalances or deficiencies contributing to your symptoms.
Correcting these imbalances through customized bioidentical hormone treatments helps patients find relief from issues like:
Hormone testing every 6 months allows our doctors to ensure your hormone levels stay optimized over the long term. We partner with patients for overall wellness support far beyond balancing hormones.
Once we understand your hormone profile, our team crafts a treatment plan using FDA-approved bioidentical hormones specially prepared for each patient by our on-site compounding pharmacy.
We offer bioidentical:
These powerful hormonal ingredients can be administered via creams, oral tablets, sublingual drops, pellets, injections, and more depending on your needs and preferences.
Follow-up testing allows us to monitor your levels and adjust dosages over time to keep you feeling your best long-term. We also provide nutritional, fitness, and lifestyle guidance to support your therapy.
Bioidentical hormones mirror natural human hormones while synthetics contain slightly altered chemical structures. For example:
Even small molecular differences can impact how hormones interact in the body.
Bioidenticals tend to have less risks and side effects since they fully bind hormone receptors. Synthetics don't activate receptors as efficiently, causing imbalanced signaling.
Research shows bioidentical hormone users have better outcomes than synthetic, including:
That's why our bioidentical hormone doctors only use natural, bioidentical hormones matched to your body's needs.
Low testosterone in men over 40 can cause concerning symptoms like:
Testosterone therapy from our clinic helps men rewind the clock. Our customized bioidentical testosterone solutions come in easy methods like daily gels, weekly injections, convenient pills and under the skin pellets infused slowly over months.
We also address contributing lifestyle factors with tips on exercise, nutrition and stress management. Ongoing care focuses on sustaining peak vitality and performance at any age.
Swinging estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause cause 30-50% of women to experience significant symptoms, including:
The right combination of bioidentical estrogen and other hormones curbs these symptoms for most women. Convenient gels, sprays and creams allow easy self-administration. For more stabilization, try quarterly injections or our innovative estradiol pellets which release estrogen slowly over months.
Balancing hormones also provides anti-aging effects - some patients feel and look decades younger! Our goal is supporting women through hormone fluctuations for renewed energy and wellbeing.
- Teens & young adults: Correcting hormonal issues early on improves lifelong wellness - Men over 30: Boosting falling testosterone levels preserves vitality - Women over 40: Restoring estrogen, progesterone etc. reduces menopause misery - Seniors: Optimizing hormones helps combat aging and keeps you vibrant longer!
Many patients come to us with questions around the safety and effectiveness of hormone replacement plans. Here we debunk some top myths and set realistic expectations about results:
Myth: Bioidentical hormones increase cancer risk just like synthetics
Fact: Quality data reveals properly dosed bioidenticals do NOT raise cancer likelihood and may help prevent recurrence in survivors. Synthetics and orally-taken hormones have more risk.
Myth: Taking hormones will masculinize women or feminize men
Fact: This is extremely rare as we customize doses to balance your unique needs. Masculinization only occurs in severe excess. Effects reverse promptly upon dosage adjustment.
Myth: I'll need to be on hormones forever once I start
Fact: Some patients only require short-term treatment to get through menopause changes or health issues. Others benefit lifelong but can often lower doses over time. Our doctors guide your pathway.
Expectation: Bioidentical hormones offer an instant anti-aging fountain of youth
Reality: You'll look and feel better within weeks or months but full benefits accrue over 4 months of tailored treatment. Patience and compliance drive best outcomes. We're here to support you.
Ask our bioidentical doctors any other questions! We pride ourselves on transparency about the power and safety of customized therapies.
