Bio identical hormone therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally in the body to supplement declining levels. This therapy can provide immense benefits for both women and men suffering from hormone deficiencies related to aging or other medical conditions.
Bio identical hormones are compounds that have the exact same molecular structure as the hormones produced in the human body. This allows the body to recognize and properly metabolize these supplementary hormones.
Some of the most commonly used bio identical hormones include:
These hormones are commonly prescribed to treat deficiencies and imbalance associated with perimenopause, menopause, andropause (male menopause), thyroid disorders, and aging.
Custom compounded bio identical hormones can be prepared to meet specific dosing and delivery method needs (oral, sublingual, topical cream or gel, pellet, spray, etc.).
Declining hormone levels affect every person differently, but there are some common signs and symptoms to be aware of:
These symptoms can develop gradually over time and are often incorrectly chalked up to "normal aging." However, balancing hormones levels through bio identical hormone therapy has been shown to alleviate these symptoms and help patients feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.

Importance of Timely Hormone Treatment
Hormone levels begin declining around age 30, and this process accelerates significantly for women during perimenopause and menopause and for men from age 50 onward during andropause.
Left untreated, deficiencies in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid can lead to:
In a nutshell, an imbalance of hormones speeds up the aging process and raises the risk profile for most major health conditions.
Fortunately, there is good news - correcting these deficiencies through bio identical hormone replacement therapy can reverse this degeneration and help people live longer, healthier lives!
Balancing hormones has been shown to:
In essence, managing hormone balance helps slow, stop, or even reverse indicators of aging so you live more vital years with improved quality of life.
Ideally, adults should start checking hormone levels around age 35-40 and address any issues in the early stages for optimal response to treatment.
There are 3 main phases of hormonal decline:
The key is identifying imbalances early when it's easier to regain ideal balance quickly. This helps prevent the unwanted symptoms and health consequences.
