Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can drop, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing these hormones at proper levels can provide immense relief.
Some key benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy include relief of:
Bioidentical hormones can be customized to match a patient's individual hormonal needs through blood and saliva testing. Getting tested is vital, as even small imbalances can cause issues.
The first step is diagnosing any imbalances with testing. We offer state-of-the art hormone testing to pinpoint customized treatments.
Signs that could indicate low hormones include:
Both men and women can be affected by hormone decline. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in particular helps men suffering from low energy, low sex drive, excess body fat and mental fogginess.
Prolonged hormone deficiency can increase one's risk for various diseases, including heart disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease. That’s why timely treatment is so important.
Bioidentical hormone therapy can help patients regain optimal hormone levels, thereby reducing disease risks while also improving quality of life significantly.
Declining estrogen levels in women approaching menopause often manifests through hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irritability and difficulty sleeping.
Progesterone helps balance estrogen's effects. Having optimal progesterone is key for estrogen to work properly. Low progesterone exacerbates estrogen deficiency issues like insomnia, weight gain and anxiety.
Our clinic specializes in custom-blended bioidentical hormone creams containing both estrogen and progesterone in ratios tailored to your body’s needs.
Bioidentical hormone replacement provides immense relief for disruptive menopause symptoms. Our patients report life-changing reductions in hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood swings after starting treatment.
Estrogen and progesterone creams absorb through the skin, circulating small doses into the bloodstream. This avoids potential side effects of higher oral doses, making creams an excellent choice for menopausal women.
In men, testosterone levels naturally decline after age 30. Low testosterone, medically known as hypogonadism, has widespread effects:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can reverse these declines, helping men regain peak energy and performance. Our clinic offers bioidentical testosterone creams or injections for men clinically shown to have low testosterone.
Male patients report feeling decades younger after starting TRT. Benefits include:
Bioidentical hormones derived from plant sources can provide similar benefits to conventional hormone therapy, while potentially avoiding certain risks. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their long-term safety and efficacy compared to traditional hormone preparations.
Other hormones like thyroid, DHEA and melatonin also decline with age and can produce unwelcome symptoms when low.
The thyroid gland controls metabolism. Low thyroid hormone causes weight gain, feeling cold, low energy, hair thinning and constipation. Bioidentical thyroid creams restore metabolism to alleviate these symptoms.
DHEA is a precursor our bodies use to manufacture testosterone and estrogen. DHEA levels peak around age 25, declining significantly in later years. Low DHEA increases inflammation, depresses mood and hampers libido. Bioidentical DHEA supplements boost energy, mood, bone density and immune function.
The hormone melatonin regulates healthy sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin decreases with age, resulting in poor sleep. Low melatonin also reduces immunity and antioxidant capacity while increasing inflammation. Bioidentical melatonin supplements restore much-needed restorative sleep.
In addition to hormone therapy, making healthy lifestyle choices maximizes treatment benefits:
The town of Conover offers scenic walking trails, parks, golf courses, shopping centers with healthy restaurant choices, yoga studios and more - ideal amenities supporting holistic wellness during treatment.
The area’s mild climate with abundant sunshine also makes Conover an excellent location year-round for enjoying outdoor activities and vitamin D production from sun exposure.
