Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to deficiency symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and loss of sex drive. Rebalancing hormones can provide renewed energy and an improved quality of life.
Our hormone therapy protocols at Balance Hormone Clinic use bioidentical hormones tailored to your individual needs. We offer comprehensive testing and monitoring for safe, effective treatment.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement
The first step is accurate testing. We use advanced blood panels to measure hormone levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, and more. Testing is quick and painless.
Based on your age, symptoms, and test results, our clinicians create a customized hormone therapy program using FDA-approved bioidentical hormones to restore optimal balance. Follow-up testing ensures your hormone levels stay in the healthy range.
Key Hormones We Test and Treat
Every patient is unique. We create customized natural hormone replacement regimens to match your individual hormone profile, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals.
Options include oral tablets, sublingual drops, transdermal gels/creams, vaginal inserts, pellets, patches, and injections. We educate patients on proper usage and provide ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments for optimal outcomes over months and years of therapy.
Lifestyle coaching on nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction helps patients achieve their fullest health potential. We also coordinate care with your other healthcare providers.
There are two main types of hormone therapy we offer at Balance Hormone Clinic:
Bioidentical hormone replacement uses hormones structurally identical to those naturally produced in the body to restore optimal balances with fewer side effects. Options include:
The key is customizing doses and delivery methods to your unique needs. We offer both systemic therapy to regulate overall levels, and vaginal treatments to relieve specific menopausal symptoms.
Many patients love the convenience of hormone pellet therapy. Tiny bioidentical hormone pellets are inserted under the skin every 3-6 months to release consistent doses that keep levels steady.
Testosterone, estradiol, or combination pellets relieve menopause symptoms and help patients feel their best while avoiding large hormonal fluctuations.
The quick outpatient insertion procedure takes just 10-15 minutes. Some mild bruising may occur. You'll leave our office with balanced hormones that promote vitality for months ahead.

We also coordinate care with your primary doctor, gynecologist, urologist, and other specialists. Our goal is to provide fully integrated hormone treatment supporting whole-person health.
Peaceful surroundings, connection with nature, physical activity, and healthy food can enhance hormone balance and magnify the benefits of therapy.
Luckily, Oak Point offers abundant natural beauty including walking trails, gardens, and lakefront access promoting relaxation. The sunny climate also helps regulate circadian rhythms for restful sleep - a key factor in hormonal health.
We recommend visiting local fitness centers and yoga studios to stay active during treatment. Blood tests are available from nearby labs. Balance Hormone Clinic also partners with spas, medical providers, and pharmacies to support patient success.
Modern bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) offers safe, effective treatment when properly prescribed and monitored. The risks of hormonal imbalances far outweigh potential side effects for most patients.
Synthetic hormones have greater risks of complications. Our bioidentical hormones match natural structures your body readily recognizes and regulates.
Still, we monitor patients closely using blood tests and follow-up physician consults to ensure optimal results from hormone replacement. Tracking progress helps us adjust dosages promptly if needed.
Benefits Outweigh Potential Risks for Most
By returning hormone levels to more youthful ranges, patients report feeling healthier and happier than they have in years. Restored hormone balance can truly rewind biological clocks.
Our goal is keeping you healthy and active well into later life. Consistent testing and monitoring ensures hormone therapy remains safe and effective over the long-term.
Those with low testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or thyroid levels causing symptoms like fatigue, trouble sleeping, low libido, anxiety, or menopause issues often benefit from properly prescribed bioidentical HRT.Perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women make up the majority seeking treatment. But men also develop low testosterone (low T) leading to low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and erectile lab levels combined with family history and risk factor analysis helps determine who needs hormone balancing.
Restored hormones promote vitality in body and mind:* Increased energy, stamina, metabolism* Enhanced libido and sexual function* Lean muscle mass retention and fat loss* Better mood balance and cognition* Healthy heart function and cholesterol* Stronger bones, joints, muscles* More youthful skin and hairBalanced estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones help both women and men feel their best while supporting long-term health.
Many patients report increased energy, sexual desire, and mood improvements in just 1-2 weeks on properly prescribed regimens. Continued progress builds over 2-3 months as ideal hormone levels fully track lab results and symptom resolution, making dosage adjustments to ensure you consistently reach treatment goals. Nutrition and fitness improvements quicken response times.
The biggest risk lies in leaving deficiencies untreated, not from regulated hormone replacement therapy. Still, we monitor patients closely to minimize potential side effects like fluid retention, hair growth, or headaches from fluctuating bioidentical over synthetic hormones avoids risks linked to non-natural chemicals. With routine testing guiding proper dosing, most patients tolerate treatment extremely well and avoid complications.
Hormone therapy was originally developed to help menopausal women manage symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes, but studies have found it may also help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of colon cancer. The protective bone and colon effects were unexpected findings since hormone therapy was intended mainly for relieving menopause symptoms, not disease prevention.
Left untreated, hormonal declines lead to worsening symptoms over months and years - greatly diminishing vitality and increasing long-term health risks. That's why timely hormone replacement is so crucial.
But the good news is restoring optimal balances leads to profound improvements patients describe as "life-changing." Regulated estrogen, testosterone, thyroid and other hormones offer renewed health in mind and body.
Don't settle for a life feeling tired, irritable, and disconnected from yourself. Whether you're experiencing troubling menopause symptoms, low testosterone (low T), or other issues, we can help you reclaim a vigorous, happy life via safe, proven protocols tailored to your unique needs.
You deserve to look good, feel great, and perform at your peak no matter your age or stage in life. Our compassionate, highly-trained hormone specialists look forward to serving you!
