Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are often used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance that can occur with aging or medical conditions.
Unlike synthetic hormones, which can produce unwanted side effects, bioidentical hormones are biochemically equivalent to hormones made by the ovaries and testes before a drop in production occurs with age. This makes them a more natural solution for supplementing hormone levels.
Bioidentical HRT can provide relief from troublesome menopausal or andropausal symptoms when hormone production declines in adulthood. It may improve mood, energy, sleep, libido, and cognitive function.
For women, restoring optimal estrogen levels eases hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, and loss of bone density associated with perimenopause and menopause.
Likewise for men, normalizing testosterone levels relieves symptoms like fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction, and loss of muscle mass related to "Low T".
Since hormone levels fluctuate with age, getting tested allows customization of bioidentical HRT to your current deficit. We first check your hormone blood tests to pinpoint which hormones need replenishing.
Based on the results, our practitioners formulate a personalized bioidentical HRT regimen to restore balance. We continually monitor your progress to make dosage adjustments over time as needed.

Declining estrogen and progesterone levels lead to unpleasant symptoms in aging women that can disrupt quality of life. Hormone Harmony offers bioidentical versions of these key hormones to renew vitality.
Lack of estrogen often manifests as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, difficulty sleeping, and accelerated bone loss. Low estrogen also heightens risks for heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Supplementing estrogen - usually estriol or biest - alleviates these issues to improve wellbeing during menopause. Estrogen combined with progesterone provides maximum benefits and safety.
We determine the right estrogen type and delivery method - oral drops, topical creams or subdermal pellets - for your physiology and preferences.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen throughout the menstrual cycle. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy each month and regulates periods.
With menopause, falling progesterone levels cause heavy, irregular periods and spotting. Restoring progesterone brings back cycle control and stability. It also enhances estrogen's positive effects on bone building and heart health.
