Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can help alleviate these symptoms and promote better health.
At Balance Hormone Clinic in Jensen Beach, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT uses hormones derived from plant sources that are biochemically similar to human hormones. This allows the body to recognize and properly metabolize them.
BHRT can help both men and women suffering from age-related hormone deficiency. Treatment is customized to meet each patient's individual hormonal needs through frequent testing and monitoring.
In short, balancing hormones with bioidenticals can help you look and feel younger.
There are minor differences between bioidentical estrogens, progesterone and testosterone and the hormones made by the ovaries, testes and adrenal glands. That's why the body recognizes and uses bioidenticals like native hormones.
BHRT therapy typically involves:
The goal is to safely achieve ideal hormone balance for greater health and vitality. This is done through careful testing and gradual dose changes over months.
Declining hormone levels cause increasingly bothersome signs and symptoms. Here are some key indications of deficiency:
Beyond relieving menopause symptoms, bioidentical estrogen and progesterone may help protect women from developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia later in life, according to emerging research. The hormones appear to have a neuroprotective effect, preserving key areas of the brain as we age.
Left unchecked, hormonal imbalance can significantly impair one's quality of life while raising risks for various diseases.
Identifying hormone deficiency early on allows for treatment that can:
In women, balancing hormones can ease menopausal symptoms and help avoid long-term complications like vaginal atrophy.
Likewise for men, raising testosterone levels enhances virility, strength and vitality.
The medical providers at Balance Hormone Clinic have over 10 years collective experience using bioidentical hormones to transform patient health.
We fully evaluate hormone balance through blood panels and risk assessments. Therapy is totally customized after gauging each individual's deficiencies. To ensure effectiveness, patients undergo follow-up testing and monitoring every 3 months.

There are multiple methods to deliver bioidentical hormones. Balance Hormone Clinic providersdetermine the best options for your needs which typically include:
Creams - Custom compounded creams provide transdermal absorption for estrogen, testosterone and/or progesterone. They allow for convenient application and dose adjustments.
Injections - Unlike synthetic steroids, bioidentical testosterone injections utilize short-acting esters for precise hormone balancing.
Pellets - These small implants placed under the hip skin steadily release hormones over several months. Pellets deliver very consistent long-term results.
Vaginal Suppositories - Help relieve vaginal atrophy and related urinary symptoms in postmenopausal women through local absorption.
Oral Capsules - May be recommended for progesterone which isn't well absorbed through the skin. Micronized oral progesterone easily enters circulation.
We educate patients about the pros and cons of each approach to encourage joint decision making.

We also recommend specific vitamins and supplements like magnesium, zinc and melatonin that can aid hormone optimization.
