Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many of the body's functions. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can negatively impact energy, sleep, mood, sexual function, and more. Replacing deficient hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and improve overall wellness.
There are several potential causes of hormone deficiencies and imbalances:
Recognizing changes like fatigue, trouble sleeping, low libido, and mood changes can help identify an underlying hormone imbalance.
Some common signs and symptoms of hormone deficiencies include:
Women: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain, low libido
Men: fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, weight gain around the abdomen, irritability, "brain fog"
Getting the proper testing is essential to identify specific hormone deficiencies and determine the best treatment approach. Balance & Renew Clinic provides advanced hormone testing to accurately assess:
Based on test results, our practitioners develop customized BHRT treatment plans to restore optimal hormone balance.
Bioidentical hormone replacement provides exact molecular matches to the hormones naturally produced in the body. In contrast, traditional synthetic hormone replacement medications are chemically altered. For many people, bioidentical hormones offer improved treatment tolerability and more significant symptom relief.
"Bioidentical" means the molecular structure is identical to endogenous human hormones. The body recognizes these hormones as natural, allowing optimal utilization.
For example, bioidentical testosterone used in Balance & Renew Clinic' therapies has the precise chemical makeup as the testosterone produced by the testes. Similarly, our bioidentical progesterone and estradiol molecules exactly match the hormones created in the ovaries.
Evidence suggests bioidentical hormones tend to be safer and cause fewer side effects compared to synthetic or non-human versions.
Many patients experience little to no negative effects. And when side effects do occur, they tend to be less severe.
No two people's bodies and hormone needs are exactly alike. Balance & Renew Clinic custom blends bioidentical hormones according to each individual's deficiency levels and physiology.
This precision tailoring of dosing maximizes benefits while minimizing risk.
Balance & Renew Clinic utilizes innovative therapies and the latest medical advancements to optimize treatment effectiveness and safety.
The primary goals with hormone replacement are to:
Initial dosing aims to rapidly increase hormone levels enough to make patients feel significantly better. The eventual target is optimal, healthy physiological hormone concentrations.
Ongoing testing helps ensure hormones remain in ideal ranges. Adjustments modify dosing based on changes in deficiency levels and symptoms over time.
The general process for starting hormone replacement is:
1. Comprehensive evaluation - Review health history, perform exam, order extensive lab testing to precisely identify deficiencies
2. Review results - Discuss findings, create customized therapies targeting specific deficiencies and symptoms
3. Initiate treatment - Begin taking bioidentical hormones, vitamins, and other supplements
4. Follow-up & monitoring - Re-test hormones, make dosage adjustments as needed, address any side effects

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to those produced naturally in the body. Studies show they may provide greater symptom relief with fewer side effects than synthetics for some people, though more research is still needed on their long-term safety and efficacy.
Balancing key hormones provides an opportunity to regain energy, strength, mental sharpness, stable moods, restful sleep, and passion for life.
Restoring hormones deficient with age can help recapture youthful energy levels. Patients often report feeling 10 or even 20 years younger!
With treatment, you may notice having more energy to be active or having extra stamina finishing projects. Exercise becomes easier and less exhausting.
The right hormone levels encourage building and maintaining lean muscle mass. Proper hormone balance also aids weight and body fat regulation.
Many notice improved muscle tone and losing excess fat, especially in the abdominal area. Clothing may start fitting better through the shoulders, arms and hips.
Some hormones directly influence cognition and memory capacity. Furthermore, deficiencies can indirectly impair focus through fatigue or unstable moods.
After treatment, many people think more clearly, concentrate better, recall information quicker, and even see improvements handling stress or anxiety. Overall mental sharpness and productivity increase.
Fluctuating or declining hormones commonly disrupt normal sleep-wake cycles. Restoring hormone balance facilitates more restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Waking up well-rested makes daily tasks seem more achievable. Improved sleep quality also enhances mood and energy levels.
Low hormone levels directly impact libido and sexual response. However, fatigue, weight gain, or body image issues from hormonal changes can also negatively affect sexuality.
Replacing deficient hormones often reawakens libido so you desire intimacy again. Sensations may be heightened. Orgasms might become stronger.
With treatment, many couples reconnect and rekindle fading passion in their relationships.
Combining hormone replacement therapy with healthy lifestyle choices provides maximum, lasting benefits.
Eating nutritious whole foods supports achieving and maintaining hormonal balance. Anti-inflammatory diets rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins are ideal. Stay hydrated drinking plenty of water.
Limit processed foods, refined carbs, sugars, unhealthy fats. Also, moderating caffeine and alcohol intake promotes hormonal health.
Engaging muscles with strength training maintains fitness, circulates hormones, and aids metabolism. Aerobic activity facilitates weight management and improves cholesterol ratios.
Aim for 30 minutes daily combining cardio, weights, stretching. Outdoor activities like walking benefit mind-body health. Yoga helps flexibility and stress reduction.
Quality sleep sustains energy, cognition, and balanced hormones. Adults should regularly get 7-9 hours nightly. Focus on consistency with bedtimes and wake times. Limit light exposure before bed.
Relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or visualization quiet the mind for restful sleep.
Find healthy outlets reducing stress through leisure pursuits, social connections, volunteering, laughter, or creative activities. Set aside time for relaxation practices like reading, listening to music, enjoying nature.
Building resilience through positive lifestyle choices protects long-term health and hormones.
