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. Bioidentical hormone therapy restores optimal hormone levels, alleviating deficiency signs and restoring wellness.
Bioidentical hormone doctors specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement protocols using FDA-approved hormones identical to human hormones. Treatment plans are tailored to the unique needs of each patient based on symptoms and hormone testing.
At Vibrant Life, our specialized bioidentical hormone doctors have advanced training in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. We develop customized bioidentical hormone therapy plans to help patients achieve peak vitality.
The first step is determining if hormone imbalance is causing your symptoms. Our endocrinologist specializing in female hormones will order lab tests to measure key hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid (T3 & T4), DHEA, cortisol, and vitamin D.
Based on your symptoms and test results, we can identify deficiencies and customize an effective treatment plan.
Timely treatment of hormone deficiencies can prevent the progression of symptoms, the development of related illnesses, and a decline in quality of life. Our specialized bioidentical hormone doctors have the expertise to accurately diagnose and treat hormone imbalance.
When selecting a bioidentical hormone doctor, it's essential they have specialized training, use the highest quality medications, and customize treatment based on symptoms and testing.
Here are important factors when choosing a bioidentical hormone doctor:
Our medical team meets all these qualifications for excellent care. We use only the highest quality bioidentical hormones and continually monitor your progress to ensure optimal treatment.
Declining hormones contribute to undesirable signs of aging and increased disease risk. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can:
There are several delivery methods for bioidentical hormone therapy:
We educate patients on all options and recommend the best delivery method based on lifestyle, preferences, symptoms, and testing.
The goal is restoring deficient hormone levels back to optimal, as confirmed by follow-up testing. Patients initially come in for weekly or monthly monitoring until hormone levels stabilize.
Female hormone imbalance is extremely common during perimenopause and menopause due to declining estrogen and progesterone. Deficiency can cause hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary issues, sleep disturbances, anxiety/depression, and low libido.
Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone replace what the body no longer produces effectively, alleviating these symptoms.
Benefits include:
We offer bioidentical estradiol, estrone, and estriol to match the optimal ratio produced by the body. Progesterone comes in both oral and topical preparations.
Andropause is the decline in testosterone and other key hormones in aging men, causing symptoms like loss of energy, increased body fat, reduced muscle mass, low libido/sexual dysfunction, depression, and moodiness.
Testosterone therapy alleviates hormonal deficiency, restoring energy, strength, endurance, healthy lean muscle mass, motivation, drive, sex drive, performance, positive mood, and mental clarity.
Male patients receive testosterone along with other supplemental hormones as needed. We educate men on possible side effects and monitor health status to ensure safety.
Imbalances in adrenal and thyroid hormones significantly impact overall health.
Low cortisol can cause fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, sugar cravings, and immune dysfunction.
Elevated cortisol from high stress long-term results in sleep disruption, weight gain, high blood pressure, bone loss, anxiety, and depression.
Low thyroid slows metabolism, causing fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, impaired memory, depression, and heavy periods.
Treating adrenal and thyroid imbalances can resolve unexplained symptoms. Replacement of DHEA, cortisol, or thyroid hormones re-establishes healthy functioning.
Accurately assessing and monitoring hormone levels is crucial for effective treatment.
We test the following hormones using advanced precision diagnostics:
| Hormone | Deficiency Signs | Health Risks |
|---|---|---|
| Estrogen | Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, anxiety, low libido | Heart disease, osteoporosis |
| Progesterone | Sleep disruption, anxiety, headaches | Infertility, uterine cancer |
| Testosterone | Low energy, reduced muscle, low libido | Obesity, diabetes, ED |
| DHEA | Brain fog, anxiety, weakened immunity | Accelerated aging |
| Cortisol | Fatigue, low blood pressure | Adrenal exhaustion |
| Thyroid | Fatigue, weight gain, hair loss | Heart disease, dementia |
Follow-up testing during treatment ensures optimized hormone dosing. We adjust your medications until laboratory results and symptom resolution confirm wellness restoration.
Aging is inevitable, but declining into disease and disability is not. Scientific research shows balancing hormones promotes longevity and shields against degenerative illness.
Key benefits of bioidentical hormones for graceful aging:
Healthy hormone levels lead to better living at any age! Treatment returns your body to more youthful functioning, protecting quality and longevity of life.
Despite proven safety and efficacy, common myths about hormone therapy cause unnecessary fear.
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Bioidentical hormones are unsafe | Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as natural hormones made in the body, so they are completely safe. |
| Hormone therapy causes cancer | There is no evidence that properly monitored bioidentical hormone therapy increases cancer risk. |
| Symptoms always return after stopping treatment | Everyone ages differently. Some patients only need hormones short-term, while others benefit lifelong. |
| Blood testing is inaccurate | We use advanced diagnostic labs specializing in precision hormone measurements. Testing enables optimized dosing. |
| Compounded hormones are risky | We only use high-quality pharmacy-grade hormones approved by the FDA for safety and purity. |
