Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid play crucial roles in regulating bodily processes and healthy aging. When our hormones become imbalanced and deficient, we may experience unpleasant symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, or hot flashes. Replenishing our hormone levels through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help alleviate deficiency symptoms and promote wellbeing.
Bioidentical means the hormones used are structurally identical to those naturally occurring in the human body. BHRT utilizes hormones chemically identical to human hormones, providing natural regulation of bodily systems without the side effects of synthetic or non-human hormones.
Below we will explore common hormone deficiencies, their associated signs and symptoms, and how BHRT can help restore balance and vitality.
Hormone deficiencies often develop slowly over months or years. You may chalk up symptoms like fatigue or weight gain to "normal aging," unaware declining hormone levels are the true culprit. Because the onset is gradual, deficiencies frequently go undiagnosed for prolonged periods.
The longer hormone levels remain deficient, the greater the impact on your physical health, mental health, and quality of life. Untreated deficiencies raise your risk for serious conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, anxiety, diabetes, and dementia.
That's why timely testing and treatment are so important. Identifying and addressing deficient hormone levels early on can reverse unpleasant symptoms and reduce your susceptibility to related illnesses down the road.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we provide cutting-edge BHRT programs tailored to your unique hormonal needs. Our expert physicians use advanced diagnostic testing to pinpoint imbalances quickly, crafting customized regimens to restore optimal levels.
Estrogen is integral for cardiovascular and bone health in women. Estrogen levels start to decline in perimenopause, dropping sharply at menopause when ovarian estrogen production halts altogether. Low estrogen underlies many unpleasant menopausal symptoms that disrupt both physical health and quality of life.
Estrogen therapy replenishes estrogen to alleviate menopausal symptoms. By restoring estrogen levels, many bothersome issues like hot flashes, bladder problems, sleep disruption, mood instability, fatigue, and vaginal discomfort improve dramatically.
Estrogen also protects long term health. Sufficient estrogen preserves bone mineral density to prevent osteoporosis. It maintains joint, skin, and vascular health for healthy aging. For women struggling with unpleasant perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms, estrogen therapy can truly reclaim quality of life.
Renewed Balance Clinic offers state-of-the-art bioidentical estrogen BHRT tailored to your needs using topical creams, patches, pellets, and more. Our integrative regimens address all your hormone requirements for full symptom relief and rejuvenation.
Progesterone is another hormone essential for women's health. This vital hormone works in balance with estrogen to regulate menstruation, preserve pregnancies, and transition smoothly through perimenopause. Declining progesterone levels result in a range of unwelcome symptoms.
Progesterone therapy replenishes progesterone shortfalls to alleviate symptoms and safeguard health. Correcting low progesterone relieves premenstrual issues and menstrual irregularities to improve comfort and fertility. Progesterone enhances sleep quality and stabilizes mood for less anxiety/irritability. It increases libido and energy levels.
Progesterone also protects against estrogen-induced growths in the uterus. When estrogen is high relative to progesterone, women face inflated cancer risks. Maintaining the optimal estrogen-progesterone balance is key for gynecological health.
Our integrative BHRT programs optimize your progesterone balance in harmony with other hormones. We formulate fully personalized plans using natural progesterone creams, oral medications, and more to banish deficiency symptoms and support lifelong wellbeing.
Testosterone powers libido, vitality, stamina, and metabolism in both sexes. Testosterone levels progressively decline with age, causing energy/mood troubles, sexual dysfunction, reduced muscle tone, and increased body fat. Restoring healthy testosterone balance through therapy alleviates this range of bothersome symptoms for men and women alike.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) aims to bring serum testosterone back up to healthy, youthful ranges. This rejuvenates libido and sexual functioning for enhanced enjoyment and intimacy. By stimulating muscle growth and burning visceral fat, testosterone buoys metabolism to spur fat loss and increase strength/stamina.
Mentally, testosterone lifts mood and sharpens focus for reduced irritability and “brain fog.” Simply put, testosterone replacement rewinds the clock across biological and emotional realms – reviving your vigor for work and play. It relieves unpleasant low testosterone symptoms so you feel more like your “old self” again.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we offer cutting-edge TRT including gels, injections, pellets and more to suit your lifestyle. Our fully personalized programs balance testosterone with your other hormones for optimal restoration.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to hormones naturally produced in the human body. As a result, some research indicates they may carry a lower risk of side effects like blood clots and cancer compared to synthetic options, though more studies are still needed in this emerging area.
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism by releasing hormones that control heat and energy production across cells. Thyroid hormone deficiency is increasingly common, causing symptoms like stubborn weight gain, constant fatigue, mood changes, and more. Restoring thyroid balance is crucial for reclaiming wellness.
Thyroid hormone replacement replenishes levels using oral levothyroxine (T4). Restored thyroid activity boosts metabolism to spark weight loss and lift brain fog/ fatigue. Warmth sensitivity and bowel function improve, energy recovers, and concentration/focus clarify. Basically, metabolism kicks back into high gear so your body functions properly again.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we identify thyroid troubles early through advanced tests, not just unreliable TSH levels. Our integrative regimens optimize all your hormones in concert for full symptom relief from thyroid deficiency and related conditions like adrenal dysregulation. We empower sustained vibrance as our bodies change across the lifespan.

Rediscover your zest and passion through BHRT – you deserve to feel like your best self well into older age! By addressing hormone imbalances early, you safeguard future health and dramatically expand healthy years ahead.
Precision hormone testing is crucial given the wide variation among patients. While basic lab tests can confirm gross deficiencies, advanced assessments often illuminate borderline shortfalls needing correction for full treatment response.
We utilize cutting-edge diagnostics like our (NAME) Panels to expose subtle imbalances missed on standard lab work. These sensitive assays pinpoint needs specific to your unique biochemistry so we can craft optimal treatment plans. They analyze nutrient status, inflammation markers, metabolism and stress biomarkers along with sex hormones – granting insights well beyond conventional testing.
Renewed Balance Clinic also offers Genetic testing to inform treatment approaches based on your DNA. Genomics clarify the best medications, diet tactics and lifestyle measures for your genome.
After advanced diagnostics expose your specific deficiencies, we develop fully personalized treatment plans addressing your whole body system.
BHRT prescription involves choosing optimal hormones, combinations, doses and delivery methods tailored to your needs and preferences. Options include:
Pellet therapy provides steady hormone release under the skin for 3-6 months, avoiding daily dosing. Creams allow flexible titration. Patches and gels ensure consistent delivery. Injections and oral options suit some patients better.
We combine BHRT with nutritional support, stress/inflammation modulation, exercise and other protocols maximizing treatment response for whole person health. Follow-up testing verfies hormone balance is ideal and maintained long term. We adjust plans to keep your biochemistry, symptoms and wellbeing optimized over the years.
Through collaborative, proactive care Renewed Balance Clinic helps you age vibrantly and gracefully!
