Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can relieve symptoms and promote better health.
Our clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using customized treatment plans for each patient. Our experienced bioidentical doctors carefully evaluate hormones levels and symptoms to determine the ideal combination and dosage of hormones for your unique needs.
We partner with a high-quality hormone compounding pharmacy to prepare customized BHRT prescriptions containing bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones in just the right proportions for you.
Bioidentical hormone therapy can bring outstanding benefits when prescribed and monitored properly. The experienced healthcare providers at Second Spring Hormone Clinic specialize in precision balanced bioidentical HRT for true hormone restoration.
Our consultations explore your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle to pinpoint imbalances. We will order hormone blood tests to measure current levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol.
Our bioidentical doctors will go over your test results and make a customized treatment plan. We may start you on bioidentical hormones right away or recommend diet and lifestyle changes to naturally support hormone balance first.
Follow-up visits allow us to ensure your hormone levels are optimizing to relieve deficiency symptoms without excess. We partner with you for effective long-term management of your hormone health.
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 clarify differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones.
Imbalanced hormone levels cause wide-ranging signs that diminish quality of life. Symptoms manifest differently in each gender. Restoring hormones alleviates these issues.
Estrogen regulates much female physiology. The most bothersome estrogen deficiency symptoms are:
Progesterone works with estrogen to control the menstrual cycle and supports pregnancy. Key effects of low progesterone include:
Declining testosterone in men causes:
DHEA supports energy, immunity, cognition, and metabolism. DHEA deficiency causes:
The thyroid governs metabolic rate. Common hypothyroidism symptoms are:
When the adrenal glands are depleted, typical symptoms are:
Balancing your hormones with personalized bioidentical hormone therapy can profoundly improve wellbeing, regulate biological processes, restore vitality, and prevent disease.
Hormones act as chemical messengers throughout the body coordinating complex physiological activities. Declining hormones disrupt key processes like:
Correcting deficiencies allows these vital processes to normalize - the key goal of bioidentical HRT.
The wide range of unpleasant symptoms caused by low hormones represent systemic dysfunction and declining health. Our bioidentical programs are tailored to alleviate troublesome issues like:
With properly balanced bioidentical hormones, most patients experience significant improvement or complete resolution of deficiency symptoms that interfered with work, relationships and quality of life.
Balancing our bioidentical hormones based on testing optimizes physiological function at the cellular level. This genetic expression promotes youth, vitality and optimal aging.
Estrogen helps prevent heart disease in women before menopause. Estrogen aids healthy cholesterol profiles, widens blood vessels, facilitates blood flow, prevents plaque buildup in arteries and helps regulate heart rhythms and blood pressure.
Testosterone offers anti-aging effects by supporting muscle development, fat loss, strong bones, robust fertility, physical stamina and cardiovascular health.
Optimized hormone levels reduce risk for heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders and some cancers.
Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy sustains consistent hormone levels so patients enjoy reliable results - symptom relief, health protection and an overall sense of wellbeing.
There are various methods to deliver customized doses of deficiencies hormones. Pellet implants offer an excellent approach for steady hormone levels.
Tablets - Easy to take but pass through the liver causing wider variation in circulating hormones. We add DHEA and pregnenolone this way.
Creams - Topicals applied to thin skin areas but absorption can vary greatly. Useful for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone creams.
Injections - Administered weekly to monthly depending on the hormone. Avoid the first pass liver effect. Helpful for growth hormone, testosterone and estrogen.
Pellets - Tiny implants inserted under the skin steadily release hormones for 4-6 months avoiding peaks and valleys. Our gold standard for hormone restoration for both men and women.
Patches and gels - Also provide sustained hormone delivery avoiding liver metabolism but some skin reaction risks. We use high quality patches and gels when needed.
Insertion is a simple office procedure taking less than 10 minutes. A small skin nick is made after numbing. The compounded hormone pellets are placed under the skin of the hip through an insertion device. Steri-strips are placed over the site and a bandage applied. The incision seals quickly within a day allowing normal activity like bathing and exercise.
The hormones release slowly achieving stable levels within a few weeks avoiding peaks and valleys. Most patients start feeling results in 3-4 weeks as cellular hormone receptors normalize function again. Patients enjoy 4-6 months symptom relief from this method so just 2-3 inserts a year provide great results. We schedule follow up blood checks and symptom reviews to ensure optimal response. If hormone needs change, the next pellet dose can be adjusted up or down as needed.
Pellet therapy offers an excellent bioidentical hormone replacement option to correct imbalances for sustained benefits. The treatment removes the daily hassle of pills, creams or injections - just twice yearly insertions maintain your hormone optimization. Let our experienced bioidentical hormone doctors devise a personalized pellet regimen tailored for your needs.
Hormone decline causes gradual onset of symptoms that worsen over months to years. Problems often get blamed on normal aging or stress when hormonal imbalance is the true culprit. Understanding risk factors, screening tests and experienced clinical evaluation allows timely intervention for best restoration response.
Certain health conditions increase risk for hormone deficiencies like: - Menopause - Andropause - male menopause - Pituitary or hypothalamus disorders - Adrenal dysfunction - Chronic inflammation - Obesity - Diabetes - Liver or kidney disease - Cancer treatment - Radiation exposure - Traumatic brain injury - Nutrient deficiencies - zinc, vitamin D - Excess stress - Advancing age - over 40
Noticeable symptoms suggestive of hormone imbalance include: - Hot flashes or night sweats - Changes in menstrual cycle - flow, timing - Vaginal dryness - Low libido or erectile dysfunction - Anxiety, depression, mood swings - Memory or focus problems - Fatigue or low endurance - Sleep difficulties - falling or staying asleep - Hair thinning, loss of volume - Weight gain - increased belly fat - New digestive issues - constipation or diarrhea - Sugar and caffeine cravings
Diagnostic blood and saliva testing measuring levels of key hormones like estradiol, testosterone and DHEA reveal declining function. Thyroid blood tests check TSH, free T3 and T4 levels. Adrenal saliva testing examines cortisol rhythms. Together this data allows our experienced bioidentical doctors to pinpoint deficiencies for precision treatment.
Hormonal decline impairs physiological processes gradually over time resulting in cellular dysfunction - the driver of degenerative disease. The sooner deficiencies get identified and corrected, the sooner relief of troubling issues that impact work productivity, relationships and quality of life. Age related hormone loss begins as early as the 30s. Optimizing your hormones earlier enhances anti-aging effects and protects long term health.
