Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are custom-formulated for each patient based on their individual hormone levels and needs. The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones can come in various forms such as pills, creams, injections, implants, and pellet therapy, typically derived from plant sources.
Age-related hormone decline and imbalances can negatively impact nearly every aspect of health and quality of life. Common signs of low estrogen include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful sexual intercourse, urinary incontinence, and insomnia. Low progesterone symptoms may involve irregular or heavy periods, uterine bleeding, breast soreness, sleep issues, anxiety, and weight gain. Men with low testosterone may experience low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, and emotional changes.
Bioidentical hormone replacement is suitable for both women and men experiencing age-related decline or imbalances in key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones. Ideal patients are within the age range of 30 to 70 years old. BHRT can effectively alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, restore energy and zest for life, improve sleep, enhance libido and sexual functioning, support heart health, build muscle mass, boost mental sharpness and mood, and promote healthy aging.
There are minimal risks associated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy from Vitality Clinic, including no increased cancer risk, no increased heart disease risk, high patient satisfaction, and notable quality of life improvements. However, some potential side effects may include short-term headaches, breast tenderness, and nausea, as well as long-term hair loss, high blood pressure, and acne. Vitality Clinic specializes in individually tailored BHRT to provide optimal benefits while minimizing side effects through follow-up lab testing.
The expert physicians at Vitality Clinic specialize in precision bioidentical hormone therapy to restore wellness and vitality. Their step-by-step process includes an initial consultation and evaluation, diagnostic lab testing, custom treatment plan development, follow-up assessments and lab work, and lifestyle guidance. They take an integrative approach by combining bioidentical hormones with tailored nutritional, fitness, and stress management counseling for enhanced results.
Declining estrogen levels commonly cause uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, urinary incontinence, and sleep disruptions. Bioidentical estrogen therapy can provide immense symptom relief while also promoting heart health, bone density, skin elasticity, and mental sharpness. Vitality Clinic offers various estrogen formulations, including oral tablets, transdermal creams or gels, vaginal inserts, pellets, or injections, and determines the optimal formulation and dosage based on the patient's hormone status.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle and support pregnancy. Declines in progesterone cause irregular or heavy periods, uterine bleeding, PMS, breast tenderness, anxiety, and sleep disruptions. Bioidentical progesterone effectively treats these symptoms and has bonus benefits, including improved mood, cognition, and bone health. Vitality Clinic offers various progesterone delivery methods and determines the preparation method providing stable hormonal levels with minimal side effects.
Age-related testosterone declines in men can cause low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, fatigue, and emotional changes. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) alleviates these issues and improves energy, sex drive, body composition, mood, and overall health. Vitality Clinic offers various testosterone preparations, including injections, transdermal gels, oral preparations, and slow-release pellets, and designs tailored TRT regimens to deliver stable, sufficient testosterone levels while minimizing potential side effects.
DHEA is a precursor hormone that declines significantly with age, leading to negative effects on energy, immunity, cardiovascular health, body composition, sexual health, bone density, and mortality risk. Bioidentical DHEA effectively and safely alleviates deficiencies with bonus anti-aging effects supporting longevity. Vitality Clinic offers various DHEA preparations, including capsules, sublingual drops, creams, and pellet implants, and provides responsible precision treatments based on proper dosing and follow-up monitoring.
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, heart function, mood, and energy production. Low thyroid function causes weight gain, fatigue, depression, and risk for various chronic diseases. Bioidentical thyroid hormone effectively treats hypothyroidism and related symptoms. Vitality Clinic offers both T3 and T4 thyroid preparations tailored to each patient's needs, diagnosed through comprehensive lab testing and prescribed only when clinically indicated to prevent overtreatment.
Bioidentical hormone therapy effectiveness can be further enhanced through strategic lifestyle interventions and nutritional support. Vitality Clinic provides patients with evidence-based recommendations for fitness (weight training, daily movement), nutrition (increased vegetables, fiber, omega-3s, limited sugar and refined grains, adequate protein), and stress management (yoga, meditation, gratitude journaling, hobbies, social connection). Beneficial natural supplements recommended include DHEA capsules, vitamin D, calcium, maca root, ashwagandha, magnesium glycinate, and omega-3 fish oils.
