Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. At Vitality Renewal Clinic, we specialize in bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT), using customized compounded hormone preparations tailored to each patient's individual hormonal needs.
BHT can help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms caused by hormone deficiency or imbalance associated with menopause, andropause (male menopause), thyroid disorders, and other conditions. Restoring optimal hormonal levels can lead to improved physical and mental wellbeing.
Some potential benefits of BHT include:
The first step is diagnosing any hormonal deficiencies or imbalances. Our clinic offers advanced hormone blood tests and comprehensive consultations with our expert physicians to identify optimal, personalized treatment plans.
We test levels of key hormones including:
Associated with female reproduction, bone health, skin elasticity, mood regulation, memory, and more. Low estrogen causes hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, weight gain, and accelerated aging.
Works synergistically with estrogen for menstrual regulation and pregnancy. Symptoms of low progesterone include anxiety, insomnia, irregular periods, infertility, and menopause issues.
Influence metabolism, cardiovascular function, body temperature, weight management. Hypothyroidism causes fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, hair loss, and cognitive impairment.
At Vitality Renewal Clinic, we create fully customized hormone balancing programs based on your blood tests, symptoms, medical history, goals, and preferences.
Treatment plans may include:
Timing and dosage are precisely tailored and adjusted based on follow up bloodwork and symptom tracking to achieve optimal, safe outcomes. We utilize top quality FDA-approved bioidentical hormones from specialized compounding pharmacies.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those made in the human body. Studies show they may help relieve menopause symptoms like hot flashes. However, there is debate around their long-term safety compared to traditional hormone therapy, so more research is still needed in this developing area.
Recognizing hormone imbalance symptoms early and promptly starting treatment can halt progression of issues like bone loss and muscle wasting while also providing rapid relief from disruptive menopausal or andropause symptoms. This allows one to regain their vitality and quality of life.
Here in sunny Encino, the warm climate provides ideal conditions year-round for outdoor activities like walking and hiking that can augment the rejuvenating effects of hormone therapy.
We recommend getting annual hormone level screening starting in one's 30s or 40s. Earlier testing and treatment may be warranted based on risk factors or family history.
Vitality Renewal Clinic has proudly served the Encino community for over 25 years. Our physicians and staff are passionate about helping patients address hormone deficiencies through expert diagnosis, testing, and cutting edge bioidentical therapy programs for transformative revitalization of mind and body.
