Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminished hormones with bioidentical versions can provide enormous benefits by restoring optimal levels.
Bioidentical hormones used for therapy include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormone, melatonin, and human growth hormone. They are sourced from plant estrogens and progesterone from soy or yam plants and testosterone molecules derived from yams or soy.
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy are wide-ranging, treating troublesome peri/menopausal symptoms, improving sleep, sexual function, emotional wellbeing, energy, endurance, weight management, and gives protective benefits for heart, brain, bones, breasts, skin etc.
Bioidentical hormones are not patented since they are identical copies of what the human body produces. As a result, there is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to promote their use over synthetic hormones which can be patented and profited from. However, bioidentical hormones have a more natural fit with the body's hormone receptors leading to better absorption and utility. Side effects are fewer than with synthetics.
Optimal Hormone Solutions Beverly Hills specializes in body-identical hormones for men and women. Our medical advisors customize treatment to your unique physiology and needs, avoiding a one-size fits all approach. We collaborate closely with local compounding pharmacies providing quality prescriptions.
Declining hormones rarely occur in isolation. Imbalances in one hormone impact levels of others. Comprehensive hormone panel testing provides insight on individual hormone function. Testing markers include:
Panels determine clinically significant deficits indicating need for therapy. Testing is quick and non-invasive. Optimal Hormone Solutions partners with top Beverly Hills labs for patient convenience.
Symptoms indicating hormone imbalance:
Don't brush off troublesome symptoms assuming they are inevitable with age. Restore vitality through hormone optimization tailored to your body's needs.
Declining ovarian function causes estrogen/progesterone imbalance in perimenopause and menopause. Low estrogen underlies menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, weight gain, mood issues, bone loss acceleration and heart disease risk.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen throughout the menstrual cycle. With menopause, progesterone levels plummet further disrupting estrogen balance.
Estrogen and progesterone therapy can resolve deficiency states. However, improperly balanced prescriptions worsen problems. Optimal Hormone Solutions advisors skillfully determine optimal bioidentical regimens for restoring feminine vitality.
Topical Creams - Handy pump dispensers meter precise fill amounts. Creams absorbed through skin enter circulation converting to active hormones alleviating menopause /perimenopause symptoms.
Troches - Small lozenges dissolve under the tongue sending hormones directly into blood vessels. Sublingual troches also treat vaginal/urethral dryness. Effects come rapidly but don't last as long as injections. Troches are convenient for travel.
Injections - Deliver hormone solutions into subcutaneous fat/muscle for time released absorption. Injections every few weeks maintain steady-state optimizing therapy benefits long-term.
Our advisors examine your health history, test results, lifestyle and preferences to recommend suitable bioidentical hormone preparations assisting you each step of therapy.
While andropause lacks the obvious transition of menopause, men's declining testosterone causes analogous effects: low energy/endurance, emotional lability, impaired sexual function, decreased muscle mass, weight gain and metabolic disruption. Low testosterone also increases Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease and premature death risk.
Lifestyle modifications help counteract falling testosterone levels from aging:
However, when lifestyle measures fail to relieve low T symptoms, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) restores optimal levels reviving masculine vigor.
Optimal Hormone Solutions Beverly Hills TRT Therapy Our advisors skillfully determine which TRT method fits your lifestyle, preferences, and physiology for optimal masculine revitalization. We provide ongoing monitoring adjusting dosages to keep levels in prime range long term without overdoing.
The thyroid gland produces triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), thyroid hormones regulating metabolism, energy, weight management, body temperature, mood and cardiovascular function.
Hypothyroidism causes fatigue, stubborn weight gain, cold sensitivity, dry skin, hair loss, impaired concentration etc. Declining thyroid function afflicts over 10% of women by age 50.
Hyperthyroidism exhibits opposite effects - anxiety, insomnia, tremors, palpitations, diarrhea, weight loss caused by thyroid overactivity.
Testing thyroid function involves blood work measuring TSH, T3, T4 with abnormal levels indicating hypo or hyperthyroidism.
Thyroid hormone replacement restores metabolism and reverses low thyroid symptoms. Optimal Hormone Solutions optimizes thyroid levels for your unique physiology through bioidentical T3/T4.
Hashimoto's disease - autoimmune inflammation/destruction of the thyroid gland is the 1 cause of hypothyroidism. We help Hashimoto's patients optimize nutrition, lower antibodies, reduce inflammation and judiciously supplement thyroid hormones guiding them toward remission.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits.
DHEA - vital adrenal reproductive hormone declines 80% by age 75. DHEA oral tablets/capsules treat deficiencies.
Melatonin - sleep regulating hormone from pineal gland decreases with age disrupting rest. Melatonin tablets before bed renew deep sleep.
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) maintains tissue/bone health. Injectable hGH replacement stimulates collagen improving skin elasticity, muscle mass, markers of cardiovascular health, cognition and quality of life as we age. Optimal Hormone Solutions advisors determine if hGH therapy matches your needs.
Holistic healing catalyzes hormone health. We address lifestyle, diet, nutrients, supplements, mental outlook for comprehensively optimizing hormones long term. Beverly Hills offers spectacular hiking trails, beaches, spas and parks for relaxing and rejuvenating during treatment. Nearby blood labs and compounding pharmacies provide convenient testing/prescriptions.
Don’t dismiss frustrating symptoms like hot flashes, low libido, erectile dysfunction, stubborn weight gain, fatigue, anxiety/depression as inevitable aging phenomena. These indicate potentially serious hormone imbalances necessitating prompt restoration.
Unaddressed hormone deficits degrade quality of life and elevate risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and cancer. Optimizing hormone levels timely improves symptoms while conferring protective benefits against degenerative disease.
