At Balance Health Clinic, we specialize in effectively diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances to help patients regain health, vitality and quality of life. Our experienced medical team utilizes advanced testing and proven treatment protocols including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to get patients back on track. Read on to learn more about how hormone therapy can help you feel your best again.
The endocrine system regulates hormones including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and thyroid which each play vital roles. When levels become imbalanced, wide-ranging symptoms can result. At Balance Health Clinic, we dig deep to uncover the root hormonal causes of patients' unpleasant symptoms.
Testosterone deficiency afflicts over 13 million American men. Progressive symptoms include: - Decreased energy and stamina - Depression, irritability and mood disturbances - Loss of muscle mass and strength - Weight gain and increased body fat - Reduced libido and sexual function - Poor concentration and memory
As women approach menopause, decreasing estrogen and progesterone cause disruptive symptoms like: - Hot flashes and night sweats - Vaginal dryness and discomfort - Chronic fatigue - Insomnia and sleep disturbances - Anxiety and irritability - Weight gain - Loss of desire and libido
Restoring hormonal balance in both men and women can lead to transformative improvements in energy, sexual health, body composition, emotional well-being and quality of life.
Unlike conventional synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to those produced naturally in the body. At Balance Health Clinic, bioidentical hormones are precisely customized to match patients' deficiencies for customized treatment.
Treating menopausal women with bioidentical estrogen and progesterone therapy delivers multiple benefits: - Eliminates hot flashes and night sweats - Restores regular menstrual cycles - Resolves vaginal dryness - Improves sleep quality - Stabilizes mood - Increases energy - Restores libido and sexual function
Testosterone therapy effectively alleviates symptoms in testosterone deficient men: - Boosts energy, drive and vitality - Builds muscle mass and strength - Enhances weight/fat loss - Improves mood and cognitive function - Restores healthy libido and sexual function
Balance Health Clinic utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic testing and precision treatment plans to uncover and resolve the unique hormonal imbalances underlying patients' symptoms.
Patients first meet with one of our physicians specializing in hormone therapy for an extensive medical history and evaluation. Initial blood tests establish baseline hormone levels while also checking for common deficiency causes like inflammation, infection, hypothyroidism, impaired liver/kidney function, etc.
In-depth specialty tests like our Hormone Balance Panel provide a complete snapshot of patient hormone levels from multiple pathways - adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, reproductive hormones and metabolites. This equips our physicians to pinpoint specific deficiencies.
Leveraging test results, patients receive customized bioidentical hormone prescriptions precisely matched to their deficits. After initiating therapy, patients follow up within 30-60 days for repeat testing to verify hormonal balance is restored without excess. The majority find symptoms greatly improved or eliminated.
Left untreated, the progressive deprivations of hormone imbalance lead to worsening disruptions in physical, mental and emotional health over time. The accumulating damage can become extremely difficult to reverse.
Studies now link chronic hormone deficiencies to heightened risks of developing serious age-related diseases later in life like osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease and specific cancers. Optimizing hormones earlier protects long term health.
Research shows the substantial degenerative changes imparted by years of hormone loss can make treatment much less effective than intervening sooner. Patients generally experience the greatest benefits when therapy is started expeditiously after imbalances develop.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that for many people, hormone treatment leads to marked improvement in quality of life, self-esteem, and overall happiness by alleviating gender dysphoria. The positive effects often become apparent within just 3-6 months.
