Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones naturally produced in the human body to treat hormone imbalances and deficiencies. As we age or due to medical conditions, men and women can experience declining hormone levels leading to unpleasant symptoms impacting quality of life. Through customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans, the right hormones and doses can be prescribed to help patients feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that have the exact same chemical structure as the hormones found naturally in the human body. Some of the most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones include:
The key difference from conventional synthetic hormones is that bioidentical hormones are biologically identical replicas designed to perfectly fit hormone receptors in the body. This leads to optimal hormonal balance and efficient utilization of the supplemented hormones.
Benefits of bioidentical over synthetic hormones:
Imbalances in key hormones can lead to mild to severe symptoms impacting quality of life. Common signs of hormone deficiency include:
If not addressed promptly, chronic hormone deficiencies can increase risks for various diseases while deteriorating one's sense of wellbeing and vitality.
The first step is testing to accurately determine any hormone deficiencies. This involves blood and sometimes saliva tests to measure levels of key hormones along with other relevant biomarkers based on symptoms and risk factors.
Standard hormone tests include:
Test results are compared against optimal range values for the patient's age and gender. The right bioidentical hormones and doses can then be prescribed to restore optimal hormonal balance tailored to the individual.
Follow-up testing monitors progress and guides dosage adjustments. Our physicians can provide referrals for discounted local labs or in-house testing services.
Getting tested for hormonal imbalances is critical before starting any bioidentical hormone therapy to determine what exactly requires supplementation or adjustment for your needs.Dr. Jessica Miller, Balance Health Center Medical Director
Here at Balance Health Center, we specialize in fully customized bioidentical hormone replacement plans optimized for your unique needs.
While synthetic hormone drugs take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, bioidentical hormones can be precisely dosed and combined for your body's ideal balance and maximum benefits.
Treatment options include:
These bioidentical hormones are available in various forms:
| Delivery Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Creams | Absorbed through the skin |
| Injections | Directly into the fat or muscle |
| Pellets | Long-lasting pellets inserted under the hip skin |
| Sublingual Drops | Placed under the tongue |
Creams allow for steady hormone release through the skin while localized injections offer more concentrated dosing. Pellets provide sustained hormone levels over several months without need for daily applications. Sublingual drops also avoid first pass liver processing.
Based on your needs and preferences, our practitioners can recommend the optimal bioidentical hormones and delivery methods for you. Follow-ups are scheduled to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans until full wellness and hormonal balance is restored.
Declining estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause lead to symptoms severely impacting women's health and quality of life. Through properly balanced bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), optimal relief can be achieved.
We utilize cutting-edge lab testing to accurately determine reproductive hormone levels and pinpoint required bioidentical estrogen and progesterone supplementation for each woman's needs. Follow-ups confirm progress is on track through monitoring hormone levels, symptom improvements, and overall sense of wellbeing.

Just as with women, men also suffer from declining hormone levels related to aging and medical conditions, especially low testosterone levels. Known as testosterone deficiency syndrome or "Low-T", insufficient levels severely impact men's health and vitality.
Low testosterone contributes to unwelcome symptoms including:
Without treatment, low testosterone elevates risks for various chronic diseases in men like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis while deteriorating strength, fitness level, and overall vitality.
We accurately diagnose low testosterone and other hormone deficiencies in men through comprehensive blood analysis and exams. Customized testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) plans involving bioidentical testosterone creams, injections, or sustaining pellets can then restore optimal hormonal balance.
Follow-up blood tests and progress tracking guides proper dosage adjustments to maximize benefits:
