Bioidentical and synthetic hormonal therapies differ in how they are created and how our bodies respond. Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived and are created to be chemically identical to the hormones the body naturally produces. Synthetic hormones, as the name suggests, are man-made and synthesized. While both options can be used to treat imbalance, many people take well to bioidentical therapies due to their similarity to what is naturally already in the human body.
Symptoms of hormonal imbalance can include fatigue, loss of mental clarity and focus, fertility issues, brittle nails, weight loss resistance, mood swings, menopausal symptoms, dry skin, and sluggish metabolism. It can also present as low libido and fertility issues. All of these symptoms can be addressed and treated through hormone therapy.
Yes, with proper diagnosis and a treatment plan, thyroid dysfunction is reversible. Knowing what kind of thyroid issues you have is important in making treatment decisions. You may produce too many hormones (Hyperthyroidism) or don’t produce enough (Hypothyroidism), which in both cases cause various symptoms and health problems. Hormonal Imbalance and thyroid therapy can address these issues by including medication and lifestyle changes that will improve and reverse symptoms.
Yes! Lifestyle changes are a great way to naturally support balanced hormones. Practices like eating foods rich in fiber and probiotics to support gut health as well as daily movement like pilates or yoga are all great ways to help support your hormones. You can also practice activities like journaling or meditation to help reduce stress. We can help build your treatment plan in a way that allows you to determine which lifestyle changes you want to implement. These practices can be discussed in your initial consultation as well as throughout your ongoing follow-up appointments.
Results from hormone therapy can take time to see and feel. You can expect to notice changes after a few weeks, and start to see significant improvement around 3 to 4 months later. Our treatment plan provides ongoing support, monitoring, and follow-up as you move through your journey.
