BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY

Dive into the life-changing advantages of our Hormone Replacement Therapy services, tailor-made to help you regain vitality, find balance, and thrive in every aspect of your life.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Historically, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) primarily focused on supplementing estrogen and progesterone in post-menopausal women. However, the field of anti-aging medicine has expanded, incorporating bioidentical hormone replacement for both genders. This evolution has allowed not just women to experience a rejuvenation in their overall well-being through a more holistic hormone replacement approach, but men as well are now finding that bioidentical hormones offer them a way to rejuvenate their physical and mental states, bringing back the energy, libido, and vitality of their younger years.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy stands out as an effective treatment for the myriad symptoms associated with hormonal decline in both men and women. What makes bioidentical hormones particularly advantageous is their molecular and functional similarity to the body's natural hormones, enhancing their ability to be metabolized and to address imbalances effectively. Through comprehensive hormone evaluations, we are able to devise personalized strategies to help our patients reclaim a youthful zest for life, both physically and emotionally.

“Stabilizing your hormones is among the simplest methods to enhance your well-being. The change my patients undergo through bio-identical hormone therapy exceeds their expectations, providing them with heightened energy, boosted metabolism, and a greater quality of life.”

Dr. Ty Vincent, MD

  • TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS

    Through comprehensive evaluations and advanced testing techniques, we identify specific hormonal shortfalls or discrepancies, devising individualized treatment plans. These strategies can include bioidentical hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing supervision to ensure the best outcomes.

  • ACHIEVING HORMONE BALANCE

    Our aim is to restore hormonal equilibrium, addressing concerns such as fatigue, mood fluctuations, reduced libido, weight fluctuations, and beyond. Throughout this journey, we strive to lead you towards revitalized energy, enhanced mental acuity, better sexual health, and overall vitality.

  • WE FOCUS ON YOU

    We meticulously monitor your progress, adjusting treatments as necessary, and ensure you have support at every step. Our team focuses on education, helping you understand the benefits and possible considerations of HRT, fostering confidence and empowering informed choices.

  • BIOIDENTICAL IS BEST

    Bioidentical hormones are formulated to mimic the hormones naturally synthesized by your body. Incorporating bioidentical hormones can provide relief for individuals experiencing symptoms of low or imbalanced hormones, which commonly arise during phases of hormonal fluctuation such as perimenopause and menopause.

Sex Hormones

Estrogen

Estrogen, a crucial sex hormone, experiences a sharp decline in women during menopause. Without timely initiation of an estrogen replacement program at menopause, women may face rapid aging signs including osteoporosis, cognitive decline, heart disease, muscle mass reduction, decreased skin elasticity and thickness, genital atrophy, and depression. Estrogen replacement therapy can significantly slow down or prevent these signs of accelerated aging post-menopause. Women who undergo estrogen replacement typically exhibit half the degenerative diseases compared to those who do not, and on average, live 3.5 years longer. Our approach involves natural estrogen replacement, where we monitor estradiol levels and tailor dosages to replicate pre-menopausal levels.

Estrogen Imbalance:

  • Fatigue

  • Hot flashes

  • Night sweats

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Joint aches

  • Low libido

  • Stress incontinence

  • Recurrent UTIs

Estrogen Replacement:

  • Alleviates symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness)

  • Enhances longevity in women

  • Guards against coronary artery disease

  • Enhances cognitive function

  • Aids in the prevention of osteoporosis

  • Offers protection against Alzheimer’s disease

  • Enhances the quality of skin and muscle

Progesterone

Progesterone, another vital sex hormone, plays a crucial role in maintaining estrogen balance, making it essential in female hormone replacement therapy, even for women who have undergone a hysterectomy. Additionally, some men may also require progesterone to regulate their hormone levels. Progesterone contributes to increasing bone density, reversing osteoporosis, and promoting fat metabolism. In our female Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, we utilize natural progesterone replacement.

Progesterone Imbalance:

  • Difficulty sleeping or poor sleep quality

  • Itchy or restless legs, particularly during the night

  • Feelings of anxiety, nervousness, irritability, or depression

  • Intense menstrual periods for women

  • Bloating, especially around the belly and ankles

  • Fatigue

Progesterone Replacement:

  • Acts as a natural mood enhancer and calming agent

  • Enhances female sexual desire

  • Offers protection against cancer

  • Stimulates thyroid function

  • Assists the body in burning fat instead of storing it

  • Aids in the prevention of osteoporosis

Testosterone

Optimal health in both men and women requires testosterone. This hormone is essential for sexual desire, muscle strength, body leanness, and overall well-being. During menopause, women experience significantly reduced to undetectable levels of testosterone, leading to a decreased libido and increased body fat. However, libido and mood enhancements can be noticed within days of starting testosterone replacement. Additionally, muscle and bone regrowth can be observed within months, especially when combined with a weight resistance training program.

Testosterone Imbalance

  • Decreased Libido

  • Erectile Dysfunction

  • Fatigue

  • Loss of muscle definition, mass & strength

  • Increased need for sleep

  • Irritability

  • Memory loss

  • Weight gain & increased abdominal fat

Testosterone Replacement

  • Increases longevity

  • Boosts male and female libido

  • Facilitates a healthy heart

  • Helps prevent osteoporosis

  • Increases muscle strength and improves appearance

  • Improves bone density

  • Protects against obesity and diabetes

  • Improves mood, memory and reduces anxiety

Stress Hormones

Cortisol

Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands and is released when we encounter stress, with its regulation managed by the hypothalamus. Our high-stress lifestyles often result in elevated cortisol levels. Continuous release of cortisol can increase blood pressure and deplete energy levels. In the short term, elevated cortisol can cause insulin resistance, weight gain, and lower your resistance to illness and disease. Over the long term, it may result in conditions such as stroke, heart attack, or diabetes.

Cortisol Imbalance

  • Fatigue

  • High blood sugar

  • Insomnia

  • Inability to fight infection

  • Decreased memory, reaction time, problem-solving

  • Feeling burned out

  • Can’t lose fat even with exercise

Cortisol Replacement:

  • Increases alertness

  • Increases energy

  • Improves mood and ability to handle stress

  • Improves digestion

  • Decreases inflammation and pain

  • Improves immune response

  • Improves body composition

DHEA

DHEA is secreted by the adrenal glands and starts to decrease at the age of thirty, continuing to decline steadily throughout our lives. In fact, once DHEA levels reach zero, it often coincides with death. DHEA is crucial for reducing cholesterol, maintaining heart health, reducing fat accumulation, and warding off diabetes, arthritis, and cognitive decline. As a vital component of our treatment regimen, we include DHEA and regularly check DHEA sulfate levels to ensure optimal DHEA concentrations in the blood.

DHEA Imbalance

  • Loss of stamina

  • Fatigue

  • Apathy, mental fog or memory loss

  • Loss of lean muscles around the middle

  • High blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol

DHEA Replacement

  • Improves Heart Health

  • Slows onset or progression of diabetes

  • Favorably impacts arthritis

  • Reverses declining mental acuity

Thyroid Hormones

Thyroid hormone is fundamental to our well-being, playing a key role in our body's overall performance. . In conventional medicine, thyroid replacement therapy is typically initiated only when indirect laboratory tests suggest low levels. However, we conduct comprehensive thyroid assessments, which include measuring free thyroid hormone and thyroid antibodies, for a more thorough evaluation.

Thyroid Imbalance

  • Weight gain and slow metabolism

  • Fatigue

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Chronic constipation

  • Muscle weakness

  • Depression

  • Elevated cholesterol and risk of heart disease
