Many individuals suffer from hormonal imbalances that can negatively impact quality of life. Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, and mood changes may indicate deficient or imbalanced hormones. Optimal Hormone Health Center specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to restore optimal hormonal levels. Our experienced medical team provides customized treatment plans to help patients feel their best again.
Detecting hormone deficiencies begins with comprehensive lab testing. Optimal Hormone Health Center collaborates with top diagnostic labs to assess patient hormone levels and identify areas of imbalance. We test key hormones including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). Deficiencies in one or more hormones may contribute to unwanted symptoms. Our providers interpret lab results and explain implications to patients. Understanding your hormone balance is the first step toward developing an effective treatment plan.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to deficiencies in men and women. Stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle factors can also disrupt endocrine function. Additionally, some medications, existing health conditions, or injuries/trauma can impact hormone production and balance. Optimal Hormone Health Center conducts thorough assessments to determine the root causes of patients’ hormonal imbalances and customized treatment plans to address those causes.
Once hormone testing reveals deficiencies or suboptimal hormone levels, Optimal Hormone Health Center’ medical team creates individually-tailored bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) plans to restore balance.
Bioidentical hormones are formulations that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. At Optimal Hormone Health Center, we may prescribe bioidentical versions of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid hormones to replenish deficient levels based on each patient’s lab results and symptoms.
Because bioidentical hormones match the body’s own hormones, they can be used at physiologic doses to establish hormonal balance without unwanted side effects. Optimal Hormone Health Center specializes in compounded BHRT customized for each patient’s needs.
Our medical providers follow best practice treatment protocols when initiating bioidentical hormone replacement therapy:
We recognize that hormonal balance is different for each patient and adjust therapy accordingly.
While some hormones are gender-specific, both men and women can experience low levels of key hormones:
Men may present with low testosterone levels causing symptoms like fatigue, muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, and more. Our providers specialize in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) using bioidentical hormones to resolve deficiency symptoms without side effects of synthetic formulas.
Women may suffer from menopausal symptoms caused by declining estrogen and progesterone levels. We offer bioidentical hormone therapy for menopause including estradiol, estrone, and progesterone tailored to a woman's needs. Thyroid and DHEA deficiencies can also cause menopause-like symptoms. Our integrative approach addresses all hormone levels for optimal wellbeing.
Non-binary patients can also benefit from balancing key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, thyroid hormones, DHEA, and more to resolve symptoms. We provide personalized care based on your unique needs, not gender.
Recognizing hormone imbalance symptoms early and seeking proper testing and treatment can prevent long-term health consequences. Left untreated, deficiencies can enable:
In contrast, timely bioidentical hormone restoration can:
The experienced medical team at Optimal Hormone Health Center specializes in early intervention and personalized treatment plans. We develop tailored hormone balancing protocols using bioidentical hormones to help patients enjoy optimized health and wellness.
Hormone therapy can help improve some symptoms of menopause, but research has found it may also have surprising benefits for the brain. A 2021 study showed hormone therapy started soon after menopause could help preserve brain volume, potentially slowing age-related decline. More research is still needed to understand the therapy's effects.
