Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a treatment to relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance and decline. BHRT utilizes hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body to restore optimal hormonal balance. At Renew Hormone Clinic in Roy, we specialize in custom bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our experienced practitioners use cutting-edge testing and precision dosing protocols to help patients look and feel their best.
Hormone levels are at their peak in our late teens and 20s. But starting in our 30s, they begin to decline about 1-3% per year. Factors like stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and toxicity can accelerate this fall.
By the time we reach our 50s, most people exhibit signs of hormonal imbalance - which can seriously impact quality of life when left untreated. Symptoms arise because our hormones work together in delicate balance - if one drops too low, it throws the others off.
Restoring balance through bioidentical hormone therapy can rejuvenate health and vitality as we age. The key is identifying deficiencies early and customizing treatment accordingly.
Because hormone decline varies so widely among individuals, testing is crucial prior to starting bioidentical therapy.
We utilize advanced assessments like blood panels, saliva tests and symptom questionnaires to gain a clear snapshot of a patient’s baseline. Testing key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and more allows us to identify optimal dosage on an individual basis.
Follow-up tests are also vital to monitor treatment efficacy and make adjustments as needed to keep hormones balanced. With the right dose, most patients experience remarkable improvements within weeks.
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over traditional synthetic hormone replacement:
At Renew Hormone Clinic, your health, safety and satisfaction with treatment are our top priorities. We utilize an integrative approach focused on each patient as a whole person, not just a cluster of symptoms.
Our practitioners have advanced certifications specializing specifically in bioidentical hormone therapy. We stay current on the latest research and best practices. And we’ve treated hundreds of patients, fine-tuning our custom precision balancing approach.
In addition to standard tests, we offer advanced assessments like the DUTCH Complete test - the gold standard for sex and adrenal hormone analysis. This helps dial in accurate, optimal dosing so patients enjoy the full benefits of balance.
Each patient receives custom bioidentical hormone blends tailored to address their individual deficit areas, resulting in fast, effective relief. Doses start low and increase gradually as needed until optimal balance is reached.
We closely track patient progress and make dosage adjustments when necessary. Follow up tests help ensure continual balance as bodies and needs change over time. We’re dedicated to patient education, guidance and support for best outcomes.
Bioidentical HRT effectively relieves symptoms associated with hormonal decline in both men and women. Candidates include:
Bioidentical Estrogen & Progesterone for Women
Declining ovarian function leading up to and during menopause causes estrogen and progesterone levels to fall. This hormone loss is responsible for most disruptive perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
Bioidentical estrogen and micronized progesterone have been shown to provide safe, effective relief - reducing hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, and supporting heart, bone and brain health in menopausal women.
Bioidentical hormones are not always derived from plants as many believe - the progesterone used is often chemically synthesized. However, bioidentical estrogens are typically sourced from yams and soy plants through a chemical modification process to create an identical match.
Many women notice worsening symptoms as they progress through perimenopause into menopause. This stems from an imbalance between dropping estrogen and progesterone levels.
Estrogen dominance creates havoc, with excess estrogen fueling a long list of problems:
When estrogen is high relative to progesterone, estrogen receptors get overstimulated while progesterone receptors are deprived. Restoring balance of these two key hormones relieves symptoms and optimizes health.
We craft individualized BHRT programs using bioidentical 17-beta estradiol to mimic natural estrogen and bioidentical progesterone to create hormonal harmony.
The bioidentical estradiol we prescribe is plant-based, matching human estrogen on a molecular level. This results in excellent tolerability and minimal side effects.
Micronized progesterone easily absorbs and helps stabilize estrogen’s effects. We often recommend progesterone even for woman who retain some estrogen production because of its protective, synergistic abilities.
Working together, balanced bio-estrogen and bio-progesterone offer menopausal and perimenopausal women renewed energy and comfort while supporting graceful aging.
In addition to hormone therapy, we provide lifestyle guidance to help patients achieve the best possible results:
Testosterone Therapy for Men
Testosterone powers much of what makes men vital - from fertility, to bone density, lean muscle mass and healthy erections. But around age 30, testosterone starts declining about 1% annually. Lower testosterone translates into loss of strength and stamina, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, depression and body fat gain despite proper diet and exercise.
Low testosterone, or low T, has reached epidemic proportions impacting close to 40% of men over age 45. Sadly, millions suffer low T related declines in silence due to lack of awareness or reluctance to seek treatment.
We aim to change that by making testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) easily accessible for men in Roy. We offer cutting edge testing, treatments and monitoring so patients can restore peak performance, confidence and quality of life.
Many “low normal” test results still signify deficiency for some men based on genes and metabolism. We dig deeper using questionnaires and additional data like free/total testosterone ratios for accurate deficiency diagnosis.
Symptoms of low T may include:
Not every man experiences the same effects when testosterone drops too low. And symptoms manifest gradually, so many simply chalk up changes to “normal aging”. We specialize in unraveling root causes for an array of health challenges stemming from testosterone imbalance.
When clinically indicated, TRT offers life-changing vitality restoration for men struggling with low T. Benefits include:
Sexual health - Increased libido - Improved erection quality - Enhanced orgasm function
Physical improvements - Increased lean muscle mass - Decreased body fat - Boosted energy levels - Sharper mental clarity - Elevated mood and self-confidence
Protective effects - Stronger bones - Improved cardiovascular function - Healthier cholesterol ratios
If blood analysis and symptoms indicate testosterone deficiency, we move forward with treatment using bioidentical testosterone cream, gels or injectable preparations uniquely calibrated to optimize your hormone chemistry.
At regular follow ups, we evaluate progress through repeat lab testing and symptom reviews, modifying dosages over time to keep levels balanced. We also provide nutrition and lifestyle guidance for amplified, sustainable benefits.
While each man’s needs differ, most find regular strength training maximizes improvements in muscle tone, strength and vitality on TRT. We encourage patients to incorporate 30-60 minutes of resistance exercise along with cardio activity most days. Excellent local gyms include Renew Hormone Clinic Fitness which offers personal training and ABC Health Club which boasts a salt water lap pool, saunas and yoga classes.
Committing to a healthy high performance lifestyle amplifies and sustains the rejuvenating effects of testosterone therapy. We offer resources and coaching to help patients achieve their peak potential including guidance around diet, exercise, stress reduction and restorative sleep.
While men can benefit from TRT throughout adulthood if indicated, certain times prove ideal. Starting therapy by ages 35 to 45 helps:
Though beyond the age of 50, it’s never too late to address low T. We tailor therapy based on patient needs and goals. For example, some wish to boost sexual health and performance while others prioritize increased energy, endurance and strength retention. restore youthful drive and function. We personalize treatments accordingly.
Regardless of age, reaching and maintaining healthy testosterone levels pays dividends for the rest of a man’s life with better health and quality of life.
