Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to deficiencies that cause unpleasant symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal levels of essential hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Our knowledgeable practitioners at Harmony Hormone Center specialize in BHRT using a personalized, precision-based approach to help you look and feel your best.
Hormone production peaks in our 20s and 30s then gradually drops. Key life stages like perimenopause, menopause, and andropause accelerate this. Stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and other factors also play a role. Genetics influence how significantly hormones decline. Underlying medical conditions can affect hormones too.
The wide range of signs and symptoms reflects how crucially hormones impact overall health. Common issues are:
If you’re experiencing these, a hormone imbalance may be to blame. The longer imbalances persist, the higher the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
Catching and correcting hormone dysfunction early on improves outcomes. We can identify deficiencies before severe symptoms arise through comprehensive testing. Our experienced practitioners interpret results considering your risk factors and needs. We develop fully customized treatment plans using FDA-approved BHRT tailored to your body and goals. Delaying may worsen problems so contact us today to take charge of your health.
Rather than synthetic ones with side effects, bioidentical hormones closely match your natural ones to seamlessly restore optimal balances. We offer a convenient Mountain House clinic providing personalized care.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those your body produces. This allows precise fine-tuning for optimal safety and results. They are sustainably derived from plant sources then customized into natural creams, gels, pellets, patches and more. We never use synthetic or animal-derived hormones associated with increased health risks.
With our prime focus on BHRT, Harmony Hormone Center delivers:
We simplify the process so you can concentrate on feeling your best. Our independent status allows us to provide unbiased care focused solely on your wellbeing.
Treatment begins after confirming a hormone deficiency then strategically supplementing to achieve proper balance. We offer both systemic and localized options.
Because symptoms can be vague, testing helps identify imbalances. We thoroughly assess:
Blood, saliva, or urine samples may be used. Test timing considers menstrual cycles for accuracy. We combine testing with a detailed history and physical exam for the full picture.
Pills, creams, gels and injections restore circulating hormones for body-wide benefits. Dosages start low then increase per patient response. We monitor to avoid overdose and optimize improvements. Benefits emerge gradually, becoming fully apparent within 3-6 months. Specific options differ based on your needs and preferences:
Pills – Convenient yet absorption varies
Creams/gels – Apply to thin skin areas for steady low-level release
Pellets – Small inserts placed under the skin lasting 3-6 months
Injections – Directly into a muscle lasting days to weeks
Patches – Transdermal daily option directly absorbed through skin
Vaginal inserts, rings, tablets and creams target genitourinary tissues improving:
Relief emerges faster than systemic methods, noticeable within weeks. We provide instructions to properly insert and dose products.
Components of a healthy lifestyle promote hormone balance and enhance BHRT results. Our guidance supports making sustainable improvements.
What we eat impacts inflammation, gut health and hormones. We offer nutrition advice catered to your needs such as:
High stress and inadequate sleep disrupt hormone production. We discuss:
Staying active helps regulate estrogen, cortisol, insulin and weight for optimal hormone function. We suggest realistic exercise plans and encourage using local resources like:
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to conventional hormone therapy.
Tailoring treatment to your Mountain House lifestyle supports the best possible outcomes. We advise on preferred times of year for testing or starting therapy along with other local factors that promote treatment success and community integration.
The comfortable year-round climate offers flexibility in undergoing testing and beginning BHRT. For those still menstruating, day 2-5 of bleeding is optimal for baseline bloodwork. We suggest scheduling testing appointments accordingly. Many patients wish to start therapy in early spring to look and feel rejuvenated. However, anytime is fine considering our favorable weather.
We direct patients to high quality Mountain House establishments providing supplementary services that enhance therapy results through better access and convenience. These include:
