Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with supplements of bioidentical hormones can safely and effectively relieve symptoms and help people feel healthy and energetic again.
Renewed Balance Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones chemically identical to those produced in the human body to restore optimal hormonal balance. We create customized treatment plans to address each patient's unique needs.
Imbalances in key hormones can cause wide-ranging symptoms. Identifying hormone imbalance early is important for swiftly restoring wellness and vitality.
In women, declining estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause lead to symptoms like:
Deficient testosterone levels in both men and women lead to:
Progesterone plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Low levels cause:
DHEA helps produce estrogen and testosterone. With low DHEA, people experience:
Bioidentical hormone replacement involves supplementing hormones that decline naturally with age or due to conditions like hypothyroidism or menopause. It can relieve unpleasant symptoms and help people regain wellness.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made in a lab, but are chemically identical to human hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. The molecular structure matches the body’s own hormones.
They are derived from plant sources and are bioequivalent to the hormones produced naturally in the body. That means the body recognizes and can efficiently utilize bioidentical hormones.
BHRT restores optimal hormonal balance by replacing deficient hormones. It can relieve symptoms like hot flashes or fatigue and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis.
BHRT involves finding ideal hormone levels tailored to the individual. Doses start low and safe then increase if needed until symptoms resolve. Patients are monitored to ensure hormone blood levels are ideal.
Bioidentical hormones come in pills, creams, injections and pellets inserted under the skin. Our clinicians help determine which method works best for the patient’s lifestyle and needs.
Pellets inserted under the skin offer steady hormone release over several months, eliminating daily dosing. Creams allow flexible, personalized dosing.
Our clinic’s endocrinologist specializing in female hormones and other BHRT specialists have advanced training in restoring hormonal balance using bioidentical hormones.
We take time listening to patients, understanding lifestyles and needs, and educating about hormone therapy options to create tailored treatment plans.
Accurately assessing hormone levels is crucial for BHRT. We use advanced testing and closely monitor blood levels throughout treatment. Patients get test results quickly to start treatment as soon as possible.
Our Kirksville clinic offers a comfortable, convenient setting for consultations, testing and treatment. Our caring team supports patients through each part of their wellness journey back to optimal health.
Hormone levels fluctuate, so our specialists regularly recheck bloodwork to ensure patients get the exact doses needed. We collaborate with patients long term for sustained results.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Despite marketing claims of superior safety and efficacy, there is limited evidence that bioidenticals have advantages over traditional hormone therapy in terms of health outcomes.
Restoring hormone deficits through timely bioidentical HRT can prevent worsening unpleasant symptoms that disrupt work, relationships and quality of life. It may also help avoid developing related medical conditions.
Relieving symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue and low libido through individually tailored bioidentical hormone replacement helps patients regain their zest for life. Balanced hormones enhance mood, energy, sleep and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Estrogen deficiency puts women at greater risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Optimizing estrogen levels through BHRT enhances bone health and cardiovascular function.
Testosterone deficiency in men is linked to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Testosterone therapy may reduce the likelihood of developing these conditions.
We provide bioidentical versions of key hormones patients often lack, leading to deficiency symptoms. The hormones we commonly prescribe in our custom treatments include:
Declining estrogen during menopause brings unpleasant symptoms diminishing quality of life. Estrogen replacement as oral or topical supplementation or pellets can effectively relieve symptoms like hot flashes.
We offer estriol, estradiol and estrone identical to the estrogens produced naturally in women’s bodies. We work to determine the ideal estrogen type, dose and delivery method for each patient.
In both men and women, low testosterone causes symptoms like fatigue and low sex drive. Restoring healthy testosterone levels through gels, injections or subcutaneous pellets helps patients regain energy and sexual vitality.
We provide bioidentical testosterone tailored to the patient’s needs, getting blood levels into ideal range. For women, we ensure doses optimize benefits but stay low enough to avoid unwanted side effects.
Women produce less progesterone leading up to menopause, causing PMS and irregular cycles. Optimizing progesterone eases symptoms, regulates menstrual cycles and protects uterine health.
We offer natural progesterone supplements to sustain levels, relieving PMS and perimenopause symptoms and facilitating fertility when trying to conceive.
The body uses DHEA to manufacture estrogen and testosterone, so low DHEA means lower levels of these key hormones. Restoring DHEA with bioidentical oral supplements helps normalize estrogen and testosterone levels.
We make starting bioidentical hormone replacement in Kirksville seamless and convenient. The first steps when working with us include:
During our initial thorough consult, we learn about patients’ symptoms, medical history, needs and treatment goals. We educate about custom hormone therapy options to create an optimal treatment plan.
We use advanced diagnostics going beyond standard labs for complete hormone level assessment. Our labs provide fast, accurate results showing where patients’ hormone deficits exist so we know exactly what to supplement.
Based on a patient’s unique lab results and needs determined during the consult, we custom craft a bioidentical hormone regimen targeting the specific deficient hormones causing symptoms.
Along with bioidentical hormone therapy, making certain lifestyle adjustments maximizes hormone balance and therapy effectiveness:
Nutrition: An anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, healthy fats and lean protein helps hormones function efficiently. We provide nutrition plans optimized for hormonal health.
Exercise: Regular activity, like cardio and strength training most days per week, reduces hormone therapy-related side effects and boosts vitality. We suggest optimal regimens.
Stress Management:Effectively coping with stress supports hormonal balance and wellbeing. Practices like yoga, mediation and journaling limit stress hormone surges.
High Quality Sleep: Getting 7-9 hours nightly sustains hormone production and response. Prioritizing sleep hygiene helps patients awake feeling refreshed.
Routine Checkups: We regularly recheck hormone levels to ensure ideal balance is maintained long term through proper bioidentical hormone dosing adjustments when needed.
