Bioidentical Hormone replacement Westerville, OH - Revive Hormones

Introduction to Bioidentical Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are derived from plant sources and custom-compounded in a lab to match each individual's hormonal needs. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalance while minimizing side effects.

At Revive Hormones in , , we specialize in comprehensive bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to your unique biochemistry. We take the time to listen to your health goals, diagnose the root causes of imbalance, and craft a personalized treatment plan.

Signs and Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Fluctuating or declining hormones can negatively impact nearly every aspect of health. Common signs and symptoms include:

• Hot flashes, night sweats
• Vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse
• Unexplained weight gain
• Depression, anxiety, irritability
• Fatigue, low energy, and stamina
• Poor sleep quality
• Reduced libido
• Loss of muscle mass
• Brain fog, memory lapses
• Skin changes, thinning hair

Early intervention can prevent hormone deficiency from progressing to more disruptive symptoms. Our practitioners will determine your risk factors through lab testing and clinical evaluation.

Basics of Bioidentical Hormones

There are three main types of bioidentical hormones:

• Estrogen - relieves hot flashes, vaginal atrophy; protects heart health, bones
• Progesterone - alleviates anxiety, sleep disruption; regulates cycles
• Testosterone - boosts libido, energy; builds muscle mass

Bioidentical hormones have the same effects on the body as endogenous hormones. They interact with cell receptors to regulate physiological processes. However, they lack the drawbacks of synthetic or non-human versions found in conventional hormone replacement.

Benefits of Bioidentical HRT

Custom-compounded bioidentical hormones offer a wide range of evidence-based benefits:

• Effectively reduce menopause or andropause symptoms
• Improve sleep quality
• Restore sex drive and sexual function
• Support positive mood and emotional wellbeing
• Increase energy levels
• Prevent bone loss (osteoporosis)
• Promote weight loss and body composition
• Enhance skin elasticity
• Slow aging process

Results vary based on dosage, hormones used, lifestyle factors, and duration of treatment. Our practitioners tailor bioidentical HRT to achieve your wellness goals.

Diagnosing Hormonal Imbalance

Accurately assessing hormone levels is crucial prior to replacement therapy. We conduct advanced testing to pinpoint deficiencies, including:

• Hormone blood tests
• DUTCH complete hormone test
• Micronutrient testing
• Saliva/urine hormone tests
• Thyroid panels
• Free testosterone

Test results are carefully evaluated in conjunction with symptoms to determine the right bioidentical hormones and dosage. Follow-up testing continues to ensure optimal hormone balance is maintained.

Bioidentical Estrogen HRT

Balanced estrogen is essential for biological functions like reproduction, cardiovascular health, bone integrity, and mental wellbeing. Declining or fluctuating estrogen underlies many complaints in perimenopause and menopause. Custom-compounded bioidentical estrogen effectively:

• Alleviates hot flashes
• Reduces vaginal atrophy
• Stabilizes mood
• Lowers heart disease risk

The three main types of estrogen are estriol (E3), estradiol (E2), and estrone (E1). We often blend all three plus progesterone in varying ratios to closely match the body's normal estrogen rhythm.

Estrogen is available as pills, transdermal creams, gels, or vaginal inserts. Your practitioner will advise the optimal form based on your needs and risk factors.

The Role of Testosterone

Testosterone plays a pivotal role across nearly all aspects of men's health. But levels decline about 1% per year after age 30. Low testosterone (clinically termed hypogonadism) has widespread effects:

• Decreased muscle mass
• Increased body fat
• Reduced stamina
• Mood disturbances
• Sleep disruption
• Low libido, sexual dysfunction
• Cognitive issues

Fortunately, restoring testosterone through bioidentical hormone replacement alleviates these concerns. Benefits include:

• Increased lean muscle mass
• Reduced body fat
• Better energy and stamina
• Improved mood regulation
• Enhanced motivation and drive
• Increased bone mineral density
• Normalized sex drive and performance
• Improved concentration ability
• Reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease

We specialize in helping men optimize their vitality safely through testosterone therapy.

Innovations in Testosterone Delivery Methods

Testosterone is available in several delivery methods:

• Injections - Most common; easy to administer at home
• Nasal gels - Convenient; daily nasal application
• Oral capsules - For milder cases of low T
• Transdermal gels/creams - Absorbed through skin; daily application

more convenient options than traditional injections or topical gels. Our practitioners stay up to date on the latest product innovations to best meet your treatment preferences.

Progesterone - The Feel Good Hormone

Progesterone is known as the "feel good" hormone due to its mood-enhancing and calming effects. It normalizes sleep, relieves anxiety, improves focus, and boosts libido. Declining progesterone aggravates menopause symptoms and PMS.

Bioidentical progesterone effectively:

• Treats hot flashes, night sweats
• Restores restful sleep
• Stabilizes mood
• Normalizes menstrual cycles
• Counters estrogen dominance
• Prepares uterus for embryo implantation

We offer progesterone in capsules, sublingual drops, topical creams, or sustained-release suppositories. Combining progesterone with estrogen better mimics the body's natural rhythms.

Balanced hormones lead to better health. We help women optimize progesterone for wellbeing!
