If you are experiencing any persistent, unexplained symptoms, hormone imbalance could be the culprit. Thorough lab testing can identify where the imbalance exists so proper treatment can begin.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be life-changing for both men and women suffering from hormonal imbalances. As specialists in BHRT and other hormone therapies, Balanced Hormone Clinic provides individualized treatment plans to help patients feel their best again.

What Are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. This allows them to be optimally utilized by the body’s existing physiological pathways.

In contrast, non-bioidentical versions have slightly different structures which must be broken down before absorption. This process is less efficient for the body to use.

At Balanced Hormone Clinic, we use FDA-approved bioidentical hormones from specialized compounding pharmacies to develop personalized therapies for each patient. This ensures dosage, delivery method, and ingredients are tailored to your unique needs.
