Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are chemically identical to those made naturally in the human body. The term "bioidentical" means the hormones have a chemical structure that perfectly matches human hormones.
Bioidentical hormone doctors specialize in restoring optimal hormone balance using bioidentical hormone therapy. They customize treatment plans with bioidentical hormone replacement consisting of estrogens, progesterone and/or testosterone in the optimal ratios and doses based on the patient's unique needs.
| Bioidentical Hormones | What They Do |
|---|---|
| Estrogen | Regulates female reproduction and sexuality. Maintains bone strength, cardiovascular health, skin elasticity, etc. |
| Progesterone | Works synergistically with estrogen. Essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and reproduction. |
| Testosterone | Essential for male sexuality, muscle mass, bone density and cognitive function. Needed in smaller amounts by women too. |
Unlike synthetic hormones commonly prescribed as one-size-fits all solutions, bioidentical hormones match the body's natural hormones exactly. They are plant-derived and bioengineered in compounding pharmacies to tailor doses and ratios specific to the patient's labs and symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones have several key advantages:
On the other hand, commonly prescribed synthetic hormones like Premarin, Provera and birth control pills contain lab-made chemicals that may not entirely match human hormones. This can lead to frustrating symptoms or side effects in some people even when labs look "normal".
Bioidentical hormone replacement under the guidance of a skilled bioidentical hormone specialist provides truly customized care aiming to resolve stubborn symptoms and restore optimal wellness long-term.
Declining hormones manifest in many ways diminishing health and vitality. Common deficiency signs include:

| Postmenopause | Vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, bone loss, heart disease risk |
Bioidentical hormone doctors identify hormone imbalances through optimal testing and help patients resolve sometimes dozens of troubling symptoms for good through properly balanced bioidentical hormone replacement.
