Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief for both men and women suffering from age-related hormone imbalance or deficiency. Read on to learn more about bioidentical hormones, the symptoms of hormone imbalance, who BHRT can benefit, and how treatment at Balance Health Clinic clinic helps patients feel their best.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical versions of hormones produced naturally in the body. Some of the most commonly deficient or imbalanced hormones include:
Estrogen regulates reproductive health and bone density in women. Low estrogen can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency, mood changes, insomnia, and accelerated bone loss.
Progesterone works with estrogen to balance the menstrual cycle. Declining levels can cause PMS, breast tenderness, anxiety, and irregular periods.
Testosterone helps regulate libido, muscle mass, fat distribution, motivation, energy levels, and cognition in both men and women. Low testosterone often contributes to low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, weight gain, and depression.
DHEA or Dehydroepiandrosterone, is a precursor hormone that gets converted to powerful sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. DHEA levels decline significantly with age.
Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions offers an array of benefits including:
Both men and women can develop hormonal imbalances with age that lead to troublesome symptoms affecting quality of life. Those experiencing issues like fatigue, low libido, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disturbances often feel remarkably better after correcting hormone levels through replacement therapy.
Bioidentical hormone therapy also benefits those with early or premature menopause caused by surgery, illness, genetics or unknown reasons. restoring hormones can effectively treat symptoms allowing patients to feel like themselves again.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more effectively to hormone receptors and potentially result in fewer side effects, though more research is still needed to confirm long-term safety and efficacy.
