Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to deficiency symptoms. Common signs of hormone deficiency include:
Getting hormone levels tested is crucial for identifying deficiencies early and preventing long-term issues. Our clinic offers convenient testing to check all major hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses plant-based hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body. BHRT relieves deficiency symptoms and promotes long-term health when levels decline.
Key benefits of bioidentical HRT include:
BHRT also lowers risks for obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, dementia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease when initiated promptly at the first signs of hormone decline.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as endogenous hormones, unlike synthetic versions. This allows them to bind properly to hormone receptors throughout the body and mimic natural function.
Synthetics often have different structures and can act unpredictably or cause side effects. With expert oversight, balanced bioidentical regimens provide safe, highly effective relief.
The Renewed Balance Clinic specializes in precision bioidentical hormone replacement for men and women. Our experienced medical providers offer:
We utilize advanced hormone tests to accurately identify imbalances and deficiencies. Sensitive blood panels check levels of:
Initial assessments determine which hormones require optimization or replacement. Follow-up testing later in treatment shows response and guides dosage adjustments.
Working closely with local compounding pharmacies, our practitioners create fully customized bioidentical hormone prescriptions meeting each patient's unique needs.
Available bioidentical hormones include:
These are expertly formulated into capsules, troches, transdermal creams, injectables, or other preparations optimizing absorption.
We provide continuous care throughout HRT to ensure safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction. Follow-up visits assess treatment response via questionnaire scores and lab work. Adjustments optimize hormones for ideal functioning.
Our coordinators also assist with insurance questions, pharmacy interactions, and appointment scheduling for streamlined treatment.
Age-related hormone decline is inevitable. But starting BHRT promptly when deficiencies first manifest can prevent progression to severely low levels. This preserves wellbeing, vitality and reduces long term health risks.
Key reasons to begin BHRT right away include:
Getting yearly comprehensive hormone panels beginning in the mid 30s enables early detection of declines. Even if feeling well, subtle shortfalls left untreated can have compounding effects over months to years.
We recommend adults have annual checks of:
Catching changes when they first crop up gives a wide window for effective treatment. Our practitioners help interpret results and advise patients on optimizing any hormones trending down.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide similar benefits to conventional hormone therapy, while potentially avoiding risks like blood clots and stroke. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their long-term safety and optimal use.
We tailor bioidentical HRT using a patient-centered approach based on scientific research and clinical experience.
The initial consult covers symptoms, medical history, and questions to pinpoint suitable hormones for replacement. Baseline labs give objective data on any deficiencies.
Custom treatment plans address unique needs and priorities, such as: - Improving energy - Aiding sleep - Enhancing libido - Building muscle - Encouraging fat loss - Easing hot flashes or night sweats - Preserving bone density - Slowing skin/hair aging - Boosting mood and cognition - Supporting exercise performance
The optimal route of administration depends on patient factors. We utilize:
Injections like testosterone cypionate or estradiol valerate for efficient dosing.
Creams or gels containing testosterone, estradiol, DHEA conveniently dosed by volume.
Pellet implants release steady hormone levels lasting 4-6 months.
Troche lozenges for versatile sublingual dosing.
Capsules and compounds provide precise oral administration.
These bioidentical preparations from trusted specialty pharmacies maximize safety and outcomes.
Hormone levels are rechecked after 6-8 weeks at a follow up appointment to confirm appropriate dosing. We evaluate patient feedback and lab results to make adjustments targeting ideal values.
Patients then return every 3-6 months as needed for bloodwork and to review wellness questionnaires charting treatment efficacy. Our staff is readily available to answer questions in between visits as well.
Careful monitoring ensures patients receive the proper bioidentical hormones to feel and function their best as they age.
Balancing hormones through bioidentical replacement works most effectively alongside healthy lifestyle modifications. We educate patients on evidence-backed techniques to amplify their treatment benefits:
Nutrition: We suggest emphasizing anti-inflammatory whole foods - abundant vegetables, high quality proteins, healthy fats, and limiting processed carbs and sugars destabilizing hormones and metabolism. Our staff dietitian provides personalized plans.
Exercise and Fitness Routine: Regular activity, resistance training, flexibility work, and ample movement throughout the day facilitate hormone receptor sensitivity. We share sample routines for patients’ fitness levels and schedules.
Stress and Sleep: Managing life stresses through sufficient relaxation, mindfulness practices, social connection, and quality sleep gives hormones an optimal environment for balanced function.
Community Resources: We connect patients with helpful wellness businesses to support HRT results - fitness centers, spas, supplements, psychotherapy options, and testing labs.
With policy optimized hormones from BHRT plus healthy lifestyle upgrades, patients report profoundly increased vibrancy, health markers, and an improved sense of wellbeing.
Maize features a humid continental climate with seasonal variety. When beginning hormone replacement, closer follow ups are ideal to accurately adjust dosing. For this reason, early autumn is an optimal period, with comfortable weather and no major holidays that could delay essential lab work and appointments.
Late summer’s lingering warmth lingers into fall. Maize sees average highs near 80°F during September and October - pleasant conditions for walking, getting outside, or trying new exercise routines and stress relief activities augmenting HRT. The climate is also mild and dry enough during this timeframe to facilitate convenient travel and clinic visits.
Later in autumn brings somewhat more variability in temperatures and precipitation. Heading into winter, checkups and blood draws may necessitate weather precautions. We suggest patients starting in early fall to best coincide therapy launch with Maize’s seasonal patterns.
