Bioidentical hormone therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body produces to treat imbalances that occur with aging or other medical conditions. At Revive Hormones, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans to help both men and women regain optimal health, vitality, and quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones naturally produced in the human body. That's why they can bind with receptors and mimic the function of the hormones our bodies produce.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones:
The first step is diagnosing any hormone deficiencies through blood, saliva, or urine tests. We measure levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones.
Based on test results, our physicians create customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans to restore optimal hormone balance. We retest hormone levels regularly to make dosage adjustments.
Common symptoms of hormone imbalance:
| Type | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Estrogen | Maintains bone & skin health, regulates cholesterol | Regulates menstrual cycle & reproduction, maintains bone & heart health |
| Progesterone | Balances effects of estrogen | Balances effects of estrogen, regulates menstrual cycle |
| Testosterone | Muscle growth, libido & sexual function, bone density, red blood cell production | Sex drive, energy levels, bone & muscle health |
| DHEA | Boosts immune function, energy levels, libido | Boosts immune function, energy levels, libido |
| Thyroid (T3 & T4) | Regulates metabolism, heart rate, body temperature | Regulates metabolism, heart rate, body temperature |
Note: DHEA is not recommended for those with hormone-sensitive cancers.
There are multiple methods to deliver bioidentical hormone therapy:
Pellets and injections provide longer-lasting hormone levels between doses, but pills, creams, and patches allow for easier adjustment of doses. We determine the best option for your needs during your consultation.
We take a holistic approach focused on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and stress management in addition to HRT. This combined approach helps patients achieve optimal wellness.
An unhealthy lifestyle can hinder results from even the best HRT protocol. We provide personalized lifestyle optimization advice to help patients maximize their well-being on HRT.
