Bioidentical hormone therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the human body to supplement declining levels. As we age, it's common to experience deficiency in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing these hormones can provide immense relief, restoring wellbeing, vitality and quality of life. Bioidentical hormones offer a customized, natural method to correct imbalances. At Renew Wellness Clinic, we specialize in precision bioidentical hormone therapies to help patients regain optimal function.
Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure that perfectly matches endogenous human hormones. They are synthesized from plant sources and tailored to be biochemically equivalent versions of hormones produced in the ovaries, testes and adrenal glands.
The key bioidentical hormones used in replacement therapy include:
Because bioidentical hormones are identical replicas of the body's own hormones, they can binding and interact with receptors properly to restore optimal biological activity.
Hormone levels remain high while we are growing and developing, but inevitably decline with aging due to lowered production in endocrine glands. Stress, poor diet, inactivity and toxins also deplete hormones over time.
Some key reasons for declining hormones include:
Falling hormone levels cause frustrating symptoms that disrupt quality of life. Identifying and properly treating deficiencies can restore wellness.
Detecting a hormone insufficiency early on allows for faster correction and relief. Some key indicators of deficiency include:
MEN:
WOMEN:
If multiple hormone levels drop, symptoms tend to be more extreme. Identifying imbalances early provides the best opportunity for treatment success before advanced deterioration occurs.
At Renew Wellness Clinic, we offer cutting-edge lab testing to precisely diagnose hormone status. Detecting deficiencies in the early stages is key for fast and effective recovery.
Why bioidentical hormones offer distinct advantages:
Benefits of balanced hormone levels:
Balancing hormones pays dividends across many aspects of health for substantial benefits.
The first step is advanced testing to accurately diagnose hormone deficiencies or excess. Renew Wellness Clinic provides state-of-the-art assessment of:
Testing captures baseline levels of hormones, revealing imbalances. This enables custom-compounding of personalized bioidentical hormones in precisely the right doses to resolve shortfalls and restore optimal levels.
We create individualized therapies based on a patient's unique needs for the best possible effectiveness and safety. Ongoing monitoring ensures proper hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term for excellent wellbeing.
There are multiple good options for bioidentical hormone delivery:
Pills - Oral progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA and thyroid hormones
Creams - Topical gels and creams absorb efficiently. Used for estrogen, testosterone and DHEA.
Injections - Intramuscular shots deliver hormones quickly. Often used for testosterone, estradiol.
Pellets - Estradiol, testosterone and progesterone pellets implanted under the skin provide steady long-term release. Lasts 4-6 months.
Patches - Transdermal estrogen, testosterone and progesterone patches adhere to skin for absorption.
Vaginal - Localized estrogen and progesterone support urogenital tissue health.
The route of administration depends on which hormones need support, doctor preference and patient convenience. We offer all options to suit individual needs.
With conscientious testing and monitoring, bioidentical hormone therapy offers profound benefits with excellent safety.
Renew Wellness Clinic provides state-of-the-art bioidentical hormone restoration for men and women based on precision diagnosis and regular follow-up testing for optimal wellness, function and longevity.
Women face a major hormone decline during perimenopause and menopause as estrogen and progesterone production from ovaries dwindles. Supplementing these falling hormones relieves unpleasant menopause symptoms and confers extensive health advantages.
Balanced bioidentical hormone levels keep women thriving through midlife and beyond for better quality of life. Taken early in perimenopause, they enable smooth transition through this change.
For excellent safety, bioidentical estradiol and progesterone balance is key. Estrogen given without opposing progesterone raises cancer risk. Renew Wellness Clinic ensures proper balance of these two key hormones.
We also offer comprehensive breast health support to protect tissue integrity and encourages healthy cell life cycles. This includes screening, nutraceuticals and lifestyle optimization.
Our therapies promote longevity and reduce disease risks with state-of-the-art precautions for women's protection and wellbeing.
Hormone levels fluctuate substantially during the menopause transition. We track hormone changes via testing every 3 to 6 months to ensure ideal balances are maintained through this dynamic phase via proper dose adjustments. Thyroid and adrenal function are also evaluated.
Monitoring frequency later tapers based on patient response and dosing stability. Continued periodic assessment helps sustain optimized hormone status for the long run.
Renew Wellness Clinic combines cutting-edge diagnosis, personalized therapies, ongoing tracking and vigorous health protections that balance hormones safely to enable women to thrive.
In men, circulating testosterone begins tapering after age 30 by 1-3% per year. This accelerates with obesity, inactivity, illness, stress and inadequate nutrition. Low testosterone brings troubling symptoms:
Studies show over a third of men over age 45 suffer from low testosterone (hypogonadism). Sadly, millions remain undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and testing.
Restoring testosterone to youthful ranges in middle aged and older men provides transformative improvements:
Our experts offer cutting edge hormone restoration therapies to renew male virility, vigor, sexual prowess to expand quality lifespan.
DHEA is an adrenal prohormone converted into other key hormones. High in youth, DHEA drops 75-80% with age. Repleting low DHEA improves:
DHEA also elevates mood, confidence and motivation in both sexes. It further aids longevity by suppressing excess cortisol and inflammation.
Renew Wellness Clinic provides advanced DHEA diagnostics and customized repletion regimens for amplifying health, function and resilience.
Up to 10% of the population suffers from hypothyroidism. Many more have suboptimal thyroid function that allows fatigue, weight gain and other symptoms to creep in. Optimizing thyroid hormones boosts metabolism to enhance energy, fitness, weight loss and cognition.
Renew Wellness Clinic offers state-of-the art testing and thyroid hormone balancing for further improvements in wellness and vitality.

FAQs
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows for a perfect fit with hormone receptors to restore biological activity without side effects. In contrast, synthetic hormones have a slightly different structure that can cause complications like receptor downregulation, harsh side effects, and increased disease risks like cancer.
Bioidentical hormone therapies also allow for customized dosing tailored precisely to each patient's needs based on comprehensive lab testing, enabling optimal balance and efficacy. The natural hormones provide superior symptom relief and quality of life benefits as well.
Renew Wellness Clinic offers multiple convenient options for administering bioidentical hormones:
| Delivery Method | Hormones |
|---|---|
| Pills | Progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid |
| Creams/Gels | Estrogen, testosterone, DHEA |
| Injections | Testosterone, estradiol |
| Pellets | Estradiol, testosterone, progesterone |
| Patches | Estrogen, testosterone, progesterone |
| Vaginal | Estrogen, progesterone |
The route chosen depends on the specific hormones needed, patient preference, and doctor guidance for optimal results and convenience.
For most patients, yes - bioidentical hormone therapy needs to continue long-term. This is because the age-related decline in hormone production is chronic and progressive. Stopping hormone therapy will allow symptoms and health issues to return as deficiencies redevelop over time.
However, the treatment regimen can be adjusted by our physicians based on follow-up testing and patient response. Dosages and hormones used may change, but some level of hormone restoration typically needs to be maintained lifelong for continuing benefits.
Regular monitoring every 6-12 months ensures optimal hormone balancing and titration to account for your body's changing needs over time.
