Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective treatment option for both men and women suffering from age-related hormone deficiency. Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body, unlike synthetic hormone medications. This allows them to bind perfectly to hormone receptors and mimic the function of endogenous human hormones.
BHRT involves restoring optimal hormone levels through the use of customized bioidentical hormone preparations. It can help alleviate troublesome symptoms of hormonal imbalance and decline such as hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, and depression. Proper hormone balance is essential for overall health and vitality.
In both men and women, optimized hormone levels provided by BHRT can lead to substantial improvements in quality of life. The therapy helps patients feel more like their younger selves again.
The certified hormone specialists at Balance Hormone Center clinic provide fully personalized bioidentical hormone replacement programs for Oklahoma City residents struggling with hormonal decline. Initial consultations are thorough and involve discussion of medical history and symptoms, physical examination, and comprehensive hormone testing.
This allows our practitioners to design a customized treatment plan using high quality bioidentical hormones to restore hormone balance specific to each patient's needs. The dosage, method of administration, and regimen are tailored to the individual.
The process of beginning BHRT is straightforward:
Balance Hormone Center uses both cutting-edge hormone testing technology as well as expertise in hormones to evaluate patients. We provide bioidentical preparations including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormone for both men and women.
Bioidentical hormones are synthesized to have the same molecular structure as hormones produced naturally in the body. A growing body of evidence shows they provide a safer alternative to traditional hormone replacement, with reduced risks of blood clots, cancer, and heart disease. More research is still needed, but these natural hormones may more closely mimic the body's normal hormone rhythms.
Delaying treatment of hormonal decline can negatively impact one's health and quality of life. The specialists at Balance Hormone Center emphasize the importance of early intervention when hormone levels begin to drop or fluctuate. We provide thorough testing and careful monitoring of biomarkers to halt and reverse hormone deficiency.
Diagnosing hormone imbalance and determining proper treatment requires specialized blood tests that measure levels of key hormones along with other important biomarkers.
Some of the blood tests our practitioners utilize include:
Analysis of these biomarkers helps guide customized bioidentical hormone therapy. Follow up blood work is used to monitor progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
Oklahoma City features a temperate climate that makes pursuing bioidentical hormone replacement comfortable year-round. While we may experience all four seasons, the weather is relatively mild.
Fall and spring are ideal times of year to begin therapy. Summers are hot and humid, but not oppressively so for most people. Winters tend to be short and mild with occasional cold snaps. Significant rain and storms are more common in spring.
Our mostly sunny weather provides ample opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and engage in activities that can complement BHRT like walking, cycling, golf, tennis, swimming, and more. The city's many parks, trails, recreation centers and golf courses support an active lifestyle.
Conveniently located in Central Oklahoma City, Balance Hormone Center provides state-of-the-art hormone testing and replacement services for men and women. There are also several other labs in the metro area that offer hormone blood draws and saliva testing:
We can refer patients to any of these facilities for initial or follow-up hormone testing during treatment. Prompt, accurate results are critical for best outcomes.
BHRT works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle geared toward wellness. Oklahoma City offers many ideal places to benefit your therapy regimen:
Hormone imbalance often brings frustrating mental health effects like depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, and reduced motivation. Restoring hormones can lift mood, elevate energy, and rekindle motivation. But many patients benefit from also prioritizing counseling, mindfulness practices, social connection, and self-care during treatment. Lifestyle changes that reduce stress and build mental resilience can enable bioidentical hormones to work their best.
