Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA play a vital role in regulating critical bodily processes and maintaining optimal mental and physical health. When our hormones fall out of balance due to aging, stress, poor lifestyle habits, or other factors, we may experience undesirable symptoms like fatigue, low libido, anxiety, weight gain, infertility, and more. Rebalancing hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively minimize or resolve these issues and help patients regain wellness and vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have a molecular structure identical to those produced naturally in the human body. They are sourced from plant extracts and custom-formulated in a lab to match each patient's hormonal needs precisely. In contrast to traditional synthetic hormone medications, bioidenticals are natural substances that can mirror healthy physiological levels when prescribed properly.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Westlake Village, our experienced hormone doctors specialize in bhrt to help patients optimize hormone activity, reduce deficiency symptoms, and promote better health. We personalize treatment plans through advanced testing, careful monitoring, and by only using the highest quality FDA-approved bioidentical hormones.
- Made from natural plant compounds - Molecularly identical to human hormones - Custom-formulated based on lab testing - May be prescribed as pills, creams, injections - Corrects imbalances and deficiency symptoms - Safe and effective when properly dosed
The first step toward successful bioidentical hormone therapy is accurately diagnosing any underlying hormone deficiencies or excesses. We utilize advanced medical assessments and lab testing to provide definitive hormone profiles for each patient.
Some symptoms that may indicate the presence of a hormone imbalance include:
Estrogen Deficiency - Hot flashes - Vaginal dryness - Anxiety/depression - Fatigue - Heart palpitations
Low Progesterone - PMS - Irregular periods - Infertility - Sleep issues - Weight gain
Low Testosterone in Men - Low libido - Erectile dysfunction - Muscle loss - Mental fog - Fatigue
Low DHEA - Low stamina - Depression - Weakened immunity - Poor concentration
By identifying hormone levels through testing early on, imbalances can be corrected before advanced deficiency symptoms emerge. We also repeat tests throughout treatment to ensure hormones are optimized.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we determine each patient's hormone levels using tests like:
These comprehensive diagnostic tools allow our practitioners to obtain an accurate hormone profile for developing targeted, effective treatment plans.
Every patient comes to us with a unique clinical presentation, lifestyle factors, and set of health goals. We carefully tailor bioidentical regimens to address each individual's distinct needs through our innovative Balance-Optimize-Maintain ApproachTM:
Balance: First, we restore hormone equilibrium to alleviate deficiency symptoms using the lowest effective dose.
Optimize: Next, we adjust bioidentical dosing to achieve heightened wellness and vigor when appropriate.
Maintain: Finally, we provide ongoing monitoring, testing, and dosage adjustments as needed to sustain peak hormonal health long-term.
This strategic methodology allows us to deliver life-changing bhrt therapy tailored to your body's ideal homeostasis.
The bioidentical hormones we commonly prescribe include:
These bioidentical compounds can be administered as oral pills, sublingual drops, topical creams, vaginal suppositories, or injectable preparations based on the patient’s needs and lifestyle factors. The route of administration, dosage, frequency will be specifically customized after thoroughly analyzing the patient’s lab tests, symptoms, health history, and treatment objectives.
In addition to bioidentical hormone therapy, we also provide patients with tailored lifestyle optimization plans to help catalyze treatment effectiveness based on the unique local amenities available. Our practitioners may recommend regular activities like:
Exercise: Westlake Village offers exceptional hiking trails, parks, recreational centers, and over 300 days of sunshine yearly. Incorporating movement stimulates hormone activity for amplified bhrt results.
Stress-Relief: Nearby spas, yoga studios, spiritual centers, and soothing natural vistas offer ample options for relaxation. Reducing stress enables hormones to function efficiently.
Healthy Eating: Nutrient-dense eateries, farmers markets, and organic grocers supply resources for optimal nutrition. Smart dietary choices support balanced endocrine response.
Improving lifestyle habits works synergistically with bioidentical therapy for maximizing vitality, function, and wellbeing into maturity and beyond.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. More research is needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to conventional hormone therapy.
