Who benefits from bioidentical hormone therapy?
- Decreased sex drive
- Abdominal weight gain
- Inability to concentrate and fuzzy thinking
- Loss of self-confidence
- Irritability and cyclic moodiness
- Hot flashes
- Sleep disruption
- Sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction or vaginal dryness)
- Decreased libido (decreased interest in sex)
These symptoms often arise as a result of an imbalance in the sex hormones of estrogen and progesterone in women or testosterone and estrogen in men. However, other hormones can also fall out of balance and cause unpleasant symptoms. These hormones include thyroid, cortisol, and DHEA.
How are my hormone levels evaluated?
Your provider reviews your medical history, health timeline, and physical wellness at your first consultation.
You will have blood work collected in the office and then collect samples of your saliva at home that is sent to a laboratory to test your hormone levels. These results are used to create a treatment plan to address your unique bio-identical hormone needs.

What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are replacement hormones made from all-natural plant ingredients. They’re formulated to exactly match the molecular structure of your body’s own hormones, meaning your body can efficiently use them. Bioidentical hormones may be used to balance existing hormones in your system, including:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Cortisol
When replenished and restored, these hormones revitalize your system – reducing or completely eliminating troublesome symptoms.
