Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety and more. Replacing declining hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy can effectively relieve these symptoms and help people feel youthful and energized again.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves prescribing plant-based hormones that are molecularly identical to human hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This allows the hormones to bind properly to hormone receptors and mimic the function of naturally produced hormones.
The goal of bioidentical hormone therapy is to restore optimum hormonal balance in the body to alleviate deficiency symptoms. When prescribed by a knowledgeable healthcare provider and properly monitored, BHRT is a safe and effective way to manage hormone depletion.
Here at Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic in Grapevine, our doctors specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement programs. We take the time to understand your unique health history and hormone testing results. Then we develop a personalized BHRT plan to get your hormone levels optimized.
We offer cutting-edge diagnostic testing, advanced BHRT protocols focused on safety and efficacy, and attentive medical guidance throughout your treatment journey. Our goal is to help you look and feel your best through expert hormone balance care.
The first step in BHRT is diagnosing any hormone deficiencies through comprehensive lab testing. We test key hormones like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol to pinpoint where your levels are suboptimal. Testing also uncovers issues that may impact hormone health like thyroid problems, inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.
Understanding your underlying issues allows us to create a tailored treatment plan with the appropriate hormones and dosages to restore balance. We also identify lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep and stress management that support healthy hormone function.
Ongoing testing ensures hormone levels are optimized as your treatment progresses. We make dosage adjustments when necessary to keep your body balanced.
Balancing hormones with BHRT provides widespread benefits related to physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Patients report improvements in many areas of health and quality of life.
For women transitioning through perimenopause and menopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can cause extremely unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping and mood swings.
Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone therapy can safely and effectively eliminate these symptoms to help women feel like themselves again. BHRT also protects bone health and reduces heart disease risk that rise after menopause.
Age-related testosterone decline in men is called andropause or “male menopause”. Low testosterone causes symptoms like low energy, depleted muscle mass, weight gain, emotional changes, erectile dysfunction and reduced interest in sex.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) gets testosterone levels back up to restore energy, motivation, lean muscle mass, fat burning ability, sex drive and peak performance. Our customized TRT programs successfully treat low T to help men look and feel their best.
Imbalanced estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol levels can negatively impact mental health. Hormone depletion is linked to mood disorders like anxiety, depression and irritability.
Balancing key hormones has profound effects on the brain and emotions. Patients report improvements in mood, outlook, motivation, positivity, sense of wellbeing and enjoyment of life after starting BHRT.
Fatigue and low endurance are some of the most common complaints of hormone imbalance. Optimizing hormones ignites cellular energy production, enhances exercise capacity, builds stamina and improves workout recovery.
Proper hormone levels also boost resting metabolic rate which helps burn fat. By increasing energy output and metabolic function, balanced hormones make it easier to get in shape and maintain healthy body composition.
Hormones like DHEA, estrogen and testosterone help regulate immune cell activities. Falling hormone levels impair immunity which increases susceptibility to infections, colds/flu, autoimmunity and chronic inflammation.
Bioidentical DHEA and sex hormones strengthen immune defenses against illness and disease. BHRT provides critical immune support to fight off pathogens and reduce inflammation.
There are various forms of bioidentical hormone therapies tailored to an individual’s needs and preferences:
The mode, dose and combination of bioidentical hormones is customized based on symptoms, testing results, health history and treatment goals. Follow-up testing ensures levels are reaching target ranges for best results.
Consistency is key - Hormone production and binding fluctuates hour-to-hour based on sleep, diet, activity levels and more. Taking hormone doses at regular daily/weekly intervals helps smooth out these peaks and troughs for balanced coverage.
We closely track objective markers and subjective symptoms each visit to ensure therapies are working safely and effectively. Follow-up blood tests assess hormone, cholesterol, triglyceride and red blood cell levels. Regular cancer screenings, blood pressure checks, breast exams and waist measurements also help monitor for potential issues.
Adjusting protocols prevents side effects and keeps patients protected. With proper oversight, balancing hormones with bioidentical therapy is extremely safe for both women and men.
Lifestyle habits significantly impact hormone function - stress management, nutrition, movement, sleep and environmental exposures all influence production and utilization. We provide customized diet, exercise and lifestyle advice tailored to each patient’s needs to support natural hormone health.
Healthy lifestyle choices combined with BHRT delivers transformative results in energy, physique, performance and wellness. We empower patients with the knowledge and tools to take control of hormone health for life.
Given the widespread symptoms hormone loss causes throughout the body, many people suffer for years without realizing the root cause is declining hormones. They bounce between specialists seeking explanations for fatigue, weight gain, mental fog, digestive issues and constant nagging discomforts.
By the time hormone imbalance is uncovered as the culprit, patients are often frustrated by the lengthy diagnostic journey and related lifestyle impairments. The good news - restoring hormones can provide rapid relief once deficiency is established.
We often see remarkable improvements within weeks of initiating therapy as the body regains proper balance:
The bottom line - identifying and addressing hormone depletion early on provides the fastest path to regaining wellness and vigor. Don't continue suffering through frustrating symptoms month after month. Get tested, get treated and get back to thriving!
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking, so claims about superiority of one over the other are not based on robust evidence.
