Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. As we age, hormone levels naturally fluctuate and decline, leading to unwelcome symptoms. Rebalancing hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can alleviate issues to help you feel your best.
Hormone Harmony Clinic specializes in customized BHRT to restore hormone balance. We offer cutting edge testing and evidence-based natural hormone protocols tailored to your body's needs. With expertise in safely prescribing testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid and other bioidentical hormones, our goal is to optimize wellbeing during midlife changes and beyond.
Hormone levels are impacted by various factors including:
Symptoms arise when our bodies lack adequate hormones to function optimally. Understanding the basics of hormone balance empower you to take charge of wellness.
Declining hormones can negatively impact all body systems. Common symptoms include:
As estrogen levels fall, it throws other hormones off balance. Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary issues, and insomnia often occur. Bone and heart health may also suffer long term without estrogen's protective qualities.
Known as the "vitality hormone,” testosterone promotes energy, strength, libido, and efficacy. When deficient, fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, low sex drive, and erectile dysfunction can result. Mood and cognitive health may additionally decline.
Progesterone helps balance estrogen’s effects. With low levels, symptoms like anxiety, irritability, headaches, water retention, and insomnia commonly arise. Heavy, irregular, or painful periods can also indicate progesterone deficiency.
Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 control metabolism. An underactive thyroid causes fatigue, weight gain, muscle weakness, cold sensitivity, hair loss, dry skin, constipation, and more. Heart, digestive, and mental health are also impacted by low thyroid function.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally made in our bodies. Created from plant compounds, they are biochemically equivalent to our innate estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and other hormones. As such, they communicate optimally with cellular receptors to restore balance.
Synthetic hormones often found in traditional hormone replacement differ in structure from natural hormones. As foreign substances, issues like breakthrough bleeding, fluid retention, and risk for stroke, cancer or heart attack may increase.
Studies validate bioidentical hormones' safety and efficacy for alleviating deficiency symptoms long term without unwanted effects. Balancing hormones in midlife and beyond provides extensive quality of life benefits.
Correcting hormone deficits through personalized bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) offers advantages system wide. Patients report improvements including:
- Fewer hot flashes and night sweats - Better sleep with less insomnia and fatigue - Easing of vaginal dryness for improved intimate health - Enhanced skin texture and appearance
- Reduced anxiety and depression - Clearer thinking and memory retrieval - Increased sense of wellbeing and enjoyment of life
- Building and retaining lean muscle mass - Decreased risk of osteoporosis and fractures - Enhanced athletic performance capabilities
- Faster metabolism promoting easier weight loss - Reduced belly fat and cellulite - Improved body composition with less fat and more muscle
- Increased desire and arousal for women and men - Stronger orgasms - Improved erectile function and performance for men
- Optimal heart health supported long term - Lowered inflammation to ease pain and autoimmunity - Disease prevention enhanced throughout the body
With profound influence on nearly all tissues, maintaining hormone balance is foundational for sustaining good health as we transition through menopause and andropause into later life.
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 on their long-term risks and benefits.
If your wellness is impacted by hormone imbalance symptoms, BHRT may greatly help. We customize cutting edge natural hormone protocols tailored to your biochemistry, lifestyle and health goals using a systematic approach.
Getting accurate baseline labs gives objective data informing ideal hormones doses. We utilize specialty tests assessing a wide range of biomarkers not found on standard panels. You’ll get clarity on deficiencies needing attention for foundational personalization.
During your initial consultation, we’ll listen closely to your health history while reviewing lab work together. A thorough discussion allows crafting an integrated plan catering to your individual needs and concerns. Expect compassionate care from start through every stage.
Prescriptions are carefully calibrated to balance target hormones based on lab results and clinical evaluation. We primarily use transdermal creams allowing easy dose adjustments during follow up. Convenience, safety and efficacy are prioritized for excellent patient experiences.
Hormone levels vary continuously, needing ongoing oversight to sustain optimal balance. Follow up labs track progress via attempted and actual levels for any dosage tweaks necessary. You also give feedback on symptom changes. We partner closely ensuring your utmost wellbeing.

With advanced training in anti-aging endocrinology, our practitioners have expertise in a wide range bioidentical hormones. We follow cutting edge medical guidance to safely prescribe natural hormones including:
Primarily prescribed to alleviate menopause symptoms, estrogen has profoundly beneficial effects for heart, bone, brain, skin and urogenital health when properly balanced. Numerous estrogenic compounds are available including:
Progesterone balances estrogen’s effects while easing anxiety, promoting restful sleep, facilitating weight loss and stabilizing menstrual cycles. Micronized progesterone replicates the body’s natural type best.
Powerful androgen boosting vitality, muscle building, fat burning, mood elevating and sexual enhancing properties. Men need adequate levels for optimal functioning. Testosterone is beneficial for women too depending on baseline levels and symptoms.
DHEA functions as precursor to other sex hormones, while also providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. DHEA levels peak in youth then decline with age, with research showing supplementation can slow aspects of aging.
Balancing thyroid function is paramount for regulated metabolism, mood, circulation and more. We prescribe natural desiccated thyroid or compounded T3 T4 to optimize thyroid performance if indicated.
Other steroidal hormones like pregnenolone and cortisol contribute to complex interdependent feedback networks. We thoroughly assess adrenal function for complete hormonal synergy.
Individually optimizing each patient’s unique hormonal environment through BHRT allows alleviating unwelcome symptoms for better living. Hormone Harmony Clinic offers cutting edge therapies mainstream medicine overlooks.
