Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide life-changing relief from unpleasant menopause symptoms and help people regain their health, wellness, and quality of life. This in-depth guide by the specialists at Rebalance Hormone Clinic explains everything you need to know about bioidentical hormones, common deficiency signs, major benefits of BHRT, and why our clinic is the top choice for hormone therapy in Manchester, Tennessee.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Bioidentical hormones are often derived from plant sources and are available in various formulations, including pills, patches, gels, creams, and injections. When prescribed in physiologic doses, they can provide exceptional safety and efficacy for both men and women.
At Rebalance Hormone Clinic in Manchester, bioidentical hormone therapy is our specialty. Our cutting-edge therapies and protocols can relieve troublesome menopause symptoms, correct hormone imbalances tied to thyroid disorders, diabetes, mental health issues, and more.
Conventional hormone replacement therapy often relies on synthetic and animal-derived hormones that differ in molecular structure from human hormones.
For example, the most commonly prescribed estrogen drugs contain conjugated equine estrogens (CEEs) derived from the urine of pregnant horses. Since the body recognizes these as foreign substances, numerous safety concerns and side effects can occur.
On the other hand, human-identical bioidentical hormones are exceptionally well-tolerated as your body easily metabolizes and clears these hormones. Let's compare:
| Synthetic HRT | Bioidentical HRT |
|---|---|
| Made from synthetic hormones or CEEs from horses and not biochemically identical to human hormones | Biochemically identical to hormones made in the human body |
| Increase risks of blood clots, strokes, and breast cancer | Do not increase disease risks when used at optimal dosing based on symptoms and testing |
| One-size-fits-all approach, generic doses | Personalized doses tailored to your unique hormonal needs and deficiencies |
| Fluctuating non-physiologic hormone levels | Steady physiologic hormone levels |
So while traditional HRT brings safety issues, bioidentical HRT offers a far more natural way to balance hormones with little to no side effects.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but many factors can accelerate deficiencies resulting in unpleasant signs and symptoms that severely impact quality of life:
Furthermore, certain medications can deplete hormones, including corticosteroids, opioids, antidepressants, and hormonal birth control.
At Rebalance Hormone Clinic, we identify and address the root causes of patients' declining hormones using optimal testing, proven protocols, and highly personalized care.
Balancing deficient hormones with bioidentical therapy can provide transformative improvements in signs/symptoms within a few months, as hormonal pathways start functioning optimally again.
