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. Replacing these declining hormones with bioidentical versions can provide immense benefits for both men and women.
Bioidentical hormones used for therapy come from plant sources and are chemically similar to endogenous human hormones like estrogens, progesterone and testosterone. The structural similarity allows them to exactly mimic the function of hormones produced within the body, making them ideal for hormone therapy.
All these hormones have crucial roles within the body. Deficiency of any leads to unpleasant symptoms that can be effectively treated with bioidentical hormone replacement.
Our endogenous hormones promote growth, development and homeostasis. But as we grow older, hormonal decline causes imbalance manifesting as:
Estrogen regulates the reproductive system in women. Declining levels lead to:
Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy each month and supports gestation. Deficiency presents as:
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. Its deficiency causes:
DHEA or Dehydroepiandrosterone is a precursor to sex hormones. Declining levels result in:
Routine screening and timely diagnosis are crucial to detect hormonal decline before severe symptoms start. This helps initiate replacement therapy promptly bringing immense relief.
Balancing hormones with bioidentical versions offers wide-ranging benefits:
Replacing the exact hormones that the body lacks relieves unpleasant deficiency symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction etc. Most symptoms resolve within weeks of initiating replacement therapy.
The primary goal of bioidentical hormone therapy is to restore hormones to optimal levels depending on the patient's age. This could vary from restoring to peak youthful levels or to levels just high enough to relieve symptoms.
Achieving ideal balances specific to the individual eliminates symptoms and empowers overall wellbeing.
With normalized hormone levels, there is significant improvement in energy, sleep, mood, mental clarity, exercise capacity, healthy weight, sex drive and self-confidence.
Bioidentical estrogen therapy provides relief from hot flashes allowing restful sleep. It also has beneficial effects on skin health and collagen levels promoting a youthful appearance.
Increased testosterone builds muscle strength enhancing vigour and vitality.
Estrogen and testosterone have neuroprotective roles and their age-related decline is linked to cognitive problems.
Bioidentical hormone therapy helps maintain memory, processing skills and healthy brain aging reducing the risk of dementia.
Estrogen and testosterone help lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood preventing fatty deposition within arteries.
Optimal hormone levels protect heart health greatly minimizing the risk of developing cardiac disease.
Age-related hormone imbalance causes fat accumulation around the abdomen increasing disease risk.
Restoring estrogens, progesterone and testosterone levels helps achieve sustainable weight loss, particularly around the middle.
Bioidentical hormones optimize fat burning mechanisms promoting effective weight management.
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play integral roles in building bone density.
Age-related osteoporosis is often due to estrogen and testosterone deficiency.
Replacing these hormones enhances bone matrix allowing increased mineralization making bones fracture resistant.
Strengthened bones lower fracture risk significantly even with minimal trauma.
Balanced hormone levels empower health and prevent various hormone-related diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, mood disorders etc.
Optimized hormones strengthen immunity providing resistance against infections, cancer and autoimmune conditions.
Early initiation of bioidentical hormone therapy effectively prevents various chronic and debilitating diseases.
The first step is diagnostic testing to evaluate hormone levels followed by physician consultations regarding therapy.
We emphasize on the importance of finding an experienced bioidentical hormone doctor to undergo this treatment safely. Blind hormone replacement without medical guidance can worsen symptoms.
Our physicians at Vitality Balance Clinic specialize in bioidentical hormone therapy assisting patients achieve balance specific to their physiology and needs.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to those produced in the human body, allowing them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors. This results in more physiologic effects and often fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormone medications used in the past.
Treatment plans are individualized but standard medical protocols are followed for initiation and supervision of bioidentical hormone therapy.

Alongside bioidentical hormone therapy, we provide lifestyle recommendations to empower progress including:
Choosing real, whole foods over processed items significantly reduces inflammation improving therapy results.
Inflammation worsens hormone imbalance. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts and seeds - all antioxidant rich, minimizes inflammatory triggers enhancing the benefits of bioidentical hormones.
Moderate activity, even a daily brisk walk, helps manage weight, lower stress and improve sleep quality.
Exercise causes favorable biochemical changes increasing endogenous hormone production. It works synergistically with bioidentical hormone therapy providing added benefits.
We suggest 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least 5 days a week supplemented by strength training twice weekly. Yoga, swimming and cycling are also great options. Lubbock has numerous parks, trails, recreation centers and gyms facilitating activity.
High stress has extremely detrimental effects on hormone levels and health. Managing daily pressures via yoga, meditation, counselling etc goes a long way in empowering hormonal balance and therapy success.
Lowering stress enhances wellbeing as a whole allowing bioidentical hormones to optimize their restorative effects.
Good sleep is pivotal to robust hormone functioning and production. Yet, insomnia and sleep disturbances are common with hormonal decline.
We advise prioritizing sleep quantity and quality through earlier bedtimes, device curfews, meditative practices etc. along with bioidentical hormone therapy to enable optimal hormonal functioning.
Specific nutriceuticals and botanicals like omega fatty acids, magnesium, vitamin D, turmeric etc help reduce inflammation and balance hormones holistically without side effects.
They provide immense adjuvant benefits alongside bioidentical hormone replacement improving therapy efficacy.
We suggest supplements personalized to one’s physiology and lifestyle needs for amplified benefits.
