Hormones are essential chemical messengers that regulate many critical bodily functions. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, wide-ranging symptoms can occur. As we age or due to medical conditions, our bodies may not produce adequate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, melatonin, and DHEA.
Some symptoms of hormone deficiency include:
These disruptive symptoms negatively impact one's vitality and quality of life. Treating hormone deficiencies can help alleviate symptoms and promote better health.
Comprehensive hormone testing is crucial for identifying imbalances. Optimal Hormone Solutions utilizes advanced medical diagnostics to check hormone, nutrient, and biomarker levels via blood, saliva, or urine samples. Test results are carefully evaluated to develop customized treatment plans as needed.
For hormonal imbalances, Optimal Hormone Solutions offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) customized for your unique needs. Bioidentical means the hormones match naturally occurring human hormones molecule for molecule. BHRT can replace diminished hormones using lab-made biosimilar estrogens, progesterones, testosterones, delivered via patches, pellets, gels or creams. Dosages can be precisely adjusted based on follow-up testing to optimize symptoms relief and balance side specialize in BHRT to restore wellness.
Customized bioidentical hormone therapy provides multiple beneficial effects:
BHRT is very effective for relieving hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, libido issues, and emotional fluctuations associated with perimenopause, menopause or andropause. Optimizing hormone levels alleviates these disruptive symptoms promoting renewed energy and well-being.
Balanced hormone levels positively impact physiological systems: Strengthening bones, improving cholesterol profiles, supporting cognition and memory, bolstering libido and sexual function, enhancing skin and hair condition, reducing belly fat, retaining muscle tone, and boosting energy metabolism.
Some research indicates bioidentical hormones may help slow cellular aging processes and reduce risks for Alzheimer’s, heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. More studies are needed, but BHRT shows promise for anti-aging, protective health benefits.
Randomized trials suggest bioidentical hormones have comparable efficacy but superior safety versus traditional synthetic hormone replacement. Fewer serious side effects have been observed using bioidentical over conventional hormones.
Optimal Hormone Solutions offers different customizable methods for conveniently administering bioidentical hormones - gels, patches, pellets, creams. Slow-release pellets injected under the skin every 4-6 months provide steady hormone levels. Patches, gels or creams allow adjustable implants reduce the need for daily dosing.
Age-related hormone decline occurs gradually, so hormone imbalances often go undiagnosed. Many people suffer suboptimal health unaware that hormone deficiencies underlie their symptoms. Identifying and addressing subtle shortfalls early is key for preserving vitality and reducing disease risks. Therefore prompt testing and replacement of declining hormones offers great benefits. We encourage adults to establish baseline hormone levels by age 40, and check levels every 1-3 years thereafter. Annual checks are wise for ages 50 . Thyroid levels should be assessed at any symptoms of thyroid dysfunction regardless of age. Don’t settle for subpar health - visit Optimal Hormone Solutions to uncover any hormone issues!
The clinicians at Optimal Hormone Solutions offer exceptional expertise in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy:
We provide attentive care centered around the unique needs of each person. After comprehensive diagnostics, our clinicians take time to carefully explain test results, describe options, and collaboratively create treatment plans using the optimal types, combinations and doses of bioidentical hormones to help you feel your best. We also offer nutritional, fitness and wellness counseling.
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 own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
The basic protocols when initiating hormone replacement therapy are:
Check hormone, nutrient and biomarker levels via blood, saliva urine testing to uncover deficiencies and imbalances.
Clinicians meticulously evaluate your test results, health history, risk factors, and symptoms to determine appropriate BHRT. If suitable, they prescribe customized regimens of bioidentical hormones and nutrients.
Initial hormone therapy requires consistent monitoring to ensure efficacy and adjust dosing as needed to reach optimal balance points. Follow-up testing is done at intervals ranging from every 4-8 weeks initially, extending to every 4-12 months for maintenance.
Our clinicians offer diet, exercise, stress management and preventative health guidance to complement hormone therapy promoting full wellbeing. We also collaborate with mental health professionals.
