Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the use of hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to treat hormone imbalances and deficiencies. BHRT can help restore optimal hormone levels, leading to improved health and vitality.
Unlike conventional hormone replacement, which uses synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure that is biologically identical to endogenous human hormones. This allows the body to recognize and utilize bioidenticals like natural hormones.
Some of the most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones include:
Bioidentical hormones can be customized to match each individual's needs and dosed to physiologic levels to restore hormonal balance gently and effectively.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to hormone deficiency symptoms and increased disease risk. Imbalances can develop at any age due to factors like stress, poor diet, toxins, inflammation, and medical conditions.
Common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance in women and men include:
Left untreated, hormone deficiencies can lead to:
Bioidentical hormone therapy can help mitigate these long-term risks and improve quality of life by restoring hormone balance.
The benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement are extensive when it is prescribed and monitored appropriately:
Balancing hormones enhances overall vitality and zest for life. Patients report looking and feeling years younger on bioidentical hormone therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are available in various standardized doses and multiple delivery methods:
The route of administration can be tailored for patient convenience and to achieve optimal hormone levels.

Both men and women can benefit from hormone replacement if they have low levels or imbalance of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone or thyroid that cause symptoms. Declining hormones are an inevitable part of aging but can be optimized with BHRT.
Patients often report improved energy, sleep, mood, mental clarity, skin tone, sexual health, body composition, cholesterol profile, and an overall enhanced sense of wellbeing from balancing hormones.
Symptom relief is often experienced within 1-2 months but the full effects build over 3-6 months as hormones regulate. With ongoing monitoring and dosage modification, benefits continue to accrue long-term.
Bioidentical hormone replacement from Vital Hormone Clinic carries little risk when properly dosed and monitored. Synthetic hormones have greater side effects. We customize treatment and follow-up care to maximize safety.
The cost depends on the hormones prescribed and delivery methods chosen. Many of our patients pay out of pocket but we provide receipts to submit for insurance reimbursement. Financing plans are available.
We prescribe bioidentical thyroid hormone (T3/T4) to treat hypothyroidism based on thyroid lab test results and symptoms. Balancing the thyroid is essential for optimizing all hormones.
Take the missed dose as soon as possible if it's the same day. Otherwise take your normal dose the next day - do not double up. Let us know if you miss more than one day so we can make any needed adjustments.
We recommend follow-up and lab retesting every 3 months when first starting treatment to ensure optimal dosing. Once stable, visits are every 6 to 12 months for monitoring. We're always available if issues arise.
Absolutely. We offer specialized nutritional consultations to help optimize hormone balance through dietary changes, micronutrient repletion, stress modulation and evidence-based supplements that complement bioidentical hormone therapy.
