Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to deficiency symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Timely bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively alleviate symptoms and promote wellbeing. As Richardson's premier bioidentical hormone clinic, Vitality Balance Clinic specializes in customized BHRT to help patients restore hormonal balance.
Prompt BHRT is crucial for improving energy, cognitive function, sexual health, emotional regulation, sleep quality and more. By accurately diagnosing hormone imbalances early, Vitality Balance Clinic tailors treatment plans to optimize patient health outcomes. We also provide ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments to ensure continual benefits.
Comprehensive lab testing is essential for identifying specific hormone deficiencies. Common tests include:
Vitality Balance Clinic partners with top Richardson labs for accurate saliva, blood and urine testing. We also test cortisol, DHEA and other hormones. Understanding your hormone profile is the first step toward effective treatment.
Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to hormones naturally produced by the human body. They are metabolized similarly and can be dosed to precisely achieve optimal hormone levels.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, common bioidentical hormones we prescribe include:
We prescribe bioidentical hormones in forms including oral tablets, transdermal creams, sublingual drops and pellet implants depending on patient needs and preferences.
What distinguishes Vitality Balance Clinic is our patient-first approach focused on open communication and responsiveness. We take time to understand lifestyle, health history and treatment goals before creating customized plans.
Our bioidentical hormone specialists have over 15 years experience optimizing thousands of patients' hormone levels. We stay up-to-date on the latest medical research and clinically proven therapies.
We also understand the importance of monitoring and adjustments. Hormone levels fluctuate so we regularly reassess patients and calibrate dosages accordingly. Convenient telehealth options make this continual care accessible.
Vitality Balance Clinic accepts most major insurance plans to minimize out-of-pocket costs for high quality treatment. We also offer competitive self-pay rates.
Hormone imbalances cause various deficiency symptoms that increase in severity over time without treatment. Vitality Balance Clinic helps patients regain optimal hormone levels through customized bioidentical HRT, leading to widespread health and quality of life improvements.
Many factors can disrupt endocrine system function:
Underlying health conditions like diabetes or genetic disorders can also affect hormones. Lifestyle factors play a role too - lack of sleep, poor nutrition, alcohol overuse and more.
Accurately identifying the root cause is key for successful treatment. Vitality Balance Clinic conducts thorough assessments before creating customized therapy plans to restore optimum hormone balance.
Declining estrogen is the central driver of menopause which on average women experience at age 51. Progesterone levels also drop leading to disruption of the menstrual cycle.
Common menopausal symptoms include:
Estrogen and progesterone depletion also elevate long-term health dangers like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Bioidentical versions of these key feminizing hormones can provide immense relief when dosed properly. We prescribe high quality pharmaceutical-grade hormones including estradiol, estrone and progesterone to precisely supplement the body’s reduced capacity.
Delivered via skin creams, oral pills or subdermal pellets, our expert protocols adjust dosing based on factors like age and menopause status to maintain ideal levels long-term. This alleviates symptoms and protects against age-related decline.
Testosterone, crucial for physical health and vitality in both men and women, begins decreasing after age 30 by 1% per year. Low testosterone or “low T” leads to:
Declining testosterone also strongly correlates to metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
We prescribe high quality injectable testosterone and oral testosterone capsules to bring levels back into the optimum range alleviating deficiency symptoms. Pellet implants that time-release testosterone are another excellent option lasting about 4 months between doses.
Adjusting additional hormones like estradiol and progesterone that influence testosterone levels further helps rebalance the intricate relationship between hormones promoting sustained wellness.
Hormone levels decline gradually, so associated health effects surface incrementally causing people to acclimate to feeling unwell and “off”. Without realizing the underlying issue, they find themselves struggling through each day with diminished energy, mood, cognition and vitality.
The longer hormone deficiencies persist, the harder it becomes to regain full health and functioning. Conditions like osteoporosis from long-term estrogen decline may become irreversible.
Additionally, evidence links unmanaged hormone imbalances to higher risk of diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cognitive decline disorders like dementia.
Therefore promptly identifying and correcting deficiencies through bioidentical hormone replacement can help people not just look and feel better day-to-day but also reduce chances of developing chronic illness later in life.
Vitality Balance Clinic makes restoring hormone balance convenient and affordable to safeguard health during this critical life stage. Contact us for a consultation.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-made to match the molecular structure of the hormones naturally made in the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to hormone receptors and may help explain why some patients report improved mood, energy, and sexual function compared to synthetic hormone preparations.
Beginning bioidentical HRT with Vitality Balance Clinic follows three key steps:
We conduct thorough intake assessments to understand health history and lifestyle context critical for making accurate hormone insufficiency diagnoses. Key areas reviewed include:
Clarifying treatment goals and expectations also helps guide the therapy plan.
Next we use saliva, urine or blood tests to identify which hormones are suboptimal then precisely determine the degree of imbalance.
Levels of key hormones like estradiol, testosterone, progesterone and DHEA will be measured. Thyroid hormones T3, T4 and TSH may be tested as well since hypothyroidism strongly relates to other hormone issues.
Testing reveals exactly which hormones to target and by how much to restore ideal functional levels unique to your body that maximize benefits while minimizing side effects.
With diagnostic lab work complete, we create a customized bioidentical hormone therapy regimen and explain usage instructions for the prescribed delivery mechanisms - oral tablets, topical creams, injections etc.
Follow up assessments will be scheduled to run bloodwork again and adjust dosages ensuring your hormone levels stabilize in the optimal range so you consistently look and feel your best.
While bioidentical hormones effectively correct deficiencies, optimal diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction amplify and prolong the benefits. Vitality Balance Clinic provides patients complementary lifestyle guidance including:
Focus on whole foods - fruits, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats and high-fiber carbohydrates. These provide critical micronutrients that support hormone synthesis and modulate levels. Avoid sugar and processed foods which promote inflammation and weight gain further taxing metabolic processes like hormone production.
Aim for 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise weekly - brisk walking, light strength training etc. Exercise stimulates testosterone production and insulin sensitivity which helps normalize hormones like estrogen and cortisol also disrupted in hormone disorders. Just avoid overexertion which elevates cortisol. Yoga and Pilates are great options.
Poor sleep disturbs circadian cycles and certain hormones like cortisol peak overnight, so lack of quality sleep prevents hormone normalization. Stress management via sufficient sleep, meditation, massage and relaxing hobbies limits cortisol spikes allowing other hormones to stabilize.
Vitality Balance Clinic helps patients build nutrition and lifestyle plans catered to your needs and constraints to get the most from bioidentical HRT. Contact us today to begin your journey toward lifelong health.
