Board Certified Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone therapy is a natural treatment process to help men and women that suffer from a hormone imbalance. The process utilizes manmade hormones that are derived from plant estrogens to create a replacement hormone that is chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by the human body.

Other traditional hormone replacement therapies use synthetic hormones that are not as similar to those naturally occurring in your body. For this reason, for many patients who want a natural option for treatment of the imbalance of a particular hormone, bioidentical hormone therapy is an excellent choice.

Hormone imbalance is extremely common, especially in patients 40 years of age and older, with low testosterone being one of the most common imbalances. Many patients do not even realize that they are suffering from low testosterone (often referred to as “low-t”), they simply think that their symptoms are a normal part of the aging process. However, that is often not the case.

If you’re experiencing symptoms that include low energy, loss of sex drive, irritability, or stubborn weight gain, these are just a handful of the symptoms that correlate.

Different Forms of Hormone Delivery

The most common complaint our patients arrive with is that they simply aren’t feeling like their normal self. A simple blood test can diagnose low-t, and bioidentical hormone therapy can be an effective path to getting back to your healthy, happy self.

There are four different forms used to deliver the components of bioidentical hormone therapy: patches, pills, hormonal creams, and pellets. Of these four types, most experts agree that pellets are the most effective option, delivering the hormones in a way that is most similar to your body’s natural production.

Hormone Pellets

Hormone pellets are a less common but increasingly popular option for hormone therapy. These small pellets, usually about the size of a grain of rice, are implanted under the skin, where they slowly release hormones over several months. Hormone pellets provide a consistent, long-term release of hormones and are particularly beneficial for those who want a "set it and forget it" approach. They are often used in treating low testosterone in men and hormonal imbalances in women, offering a more stable hormone level compared to other methods.

Hormone Pills

Hormone pills are one of the most common forms of hormone therapy. They are taken orally, usually once a day, and provide a controlled dose of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. While convenient, hormone pills can sometimes cause gastrointestinal discomfort and may have a higher risk of certain side effects, such as blood clots, compared to other forms of hormone therapy. However, they are effective for managing symptoms of menopause, low testosterone, and other hormonal imbalances.
