Renewed Balance Clinic provides customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our experienced bioidentical hormone doctors leverage cutting-edge diagnostic tests and create individualized treatment plans to help patients find relief from debilitating symptoms. We offer a welcoming environment focused on patient education, support, and optimal outcomes.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. This allows them to bind properly with hormone receptors and be utilized efficiently. Synthetic hormones often have a different molecular structure that may not properly fit receptors, leading to increased side effects.
Our on-site hormone compounding pharmacy allows customization of hormone doses, forms, and mixtures for each patient. This personalization improves absorption and comfort. We only use high-quality active ingredients sourced from reliable suppliers.
We provide nutritional counseling, supplement recommendations, and lifestyle adjustment tips to help patients achieve full hormonal balance from multiple angles. Our goal is to educate and empower patients to take charge of their health.
The endocrine system plays a major regulatory role in the body. Hormone levels declining with age can lead to significant impacts on quality of life. Common deficiency symptoms include:
- Hot flashes, night sweats - Vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse - Urinary urgency, incontinence - Anxiety, mood swings, irritability - Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses
- Heavy, irregular, or prolonged menstrual bleeding - Breast tenderness, lumps, or cysts - Anxiety, irritability, mood instability - Sleep disruptions, fatigue
- Low libido, erectile dysfunction - Decreased muscle mass, strength - Weight gain, increased body fat - Physical and mental fatigue - Depression, irritability
Untreated hormone imbalances can significantly impact one's quality of life. The wide-ranging symptoms also often negatively affect relationships and emotional health. That's why timely treatment is so important.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief when glandular function declines with age or due to other factors like stress or medical interventions. The basics:
The term "bioidentical" means the molecular structure is identical to endogenous human hormones. This allows optimal fit with the body's hormone receptors. At Renewed Balance Clinic, we customize mixes based on each patient's needs.
Bioidentical hormones can come in oral forms, topical gels/creams, injectables, sublingual drops/tablets, vaginal inserts, rectal suppositories and dermal patches. Our doctors work with each patient to determine the most effective dosage, form, and delivery method.
At our hormone compounding pharmacy, bioidentical hormones are typically derived from plant sources. Common parent sources are soybeans and yams. The active hormones are then pharmaceutically-altered to create exact replicas of human estrogen, testosterone, progesterone etc. This gives safety without sacrificing efficacy.
Most patients report beginning to feel results within 1-2 weeks, depending on dosage accuracy. It can take 3 months for full effects to manifest. That's why follow-up testing is vital to continue optimizing the customized treatment plan.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, great care is taken to ensure each bioidentical hormone replacement therapy plan is tailored to the individual from the start. Our standard process when a patient first visits our hormone clinic is as follows:
During the first consult, our bioidentical hormone doctors take an extensive history, ask detailed questions about symptoms, health factors impacting hormone levels, lifestyle and expectations. Any prior diagnostics are reviewed. Physical exam and new lab testing may occur.
Blood, saliva, urine or tissue samples may be analyzed for hormone levels and other diagnostic indicators of glandular function. Testing may need to occur at specific times throughout the day or month due to hormonal fluctuations.
Once all test results are in, our bioidentical hormone specialists analyze the full clinical picture and make data-driven recommendations on the optimal hormone delivery methods, dosages, pharmaceutical grade compounds etc.
Follow-up is crucial so testing can be repeated and the treatment plan adjusted until hormone levels optimize and deficiency symptoms subside. Most patients feel significantly better within 1-3 months. Expect to see your Renewed Balance Clinic doctor every 2-3 months initially.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Although marketed as "natural," the hormones are chemically processed from plant sources in a lab to match human hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the long-term risks and benefits compared to conventional hormone therapy.
While bioidentical hormone replacement provides huge relief for deficiency symptoms, optimal results include lifestyle modifications to best support hormonal balance. Our doctors provide counseling on areas like:
Eating hormone-supportive whole foods and taking targeted nutritional supplements provide the building blocks for the endocrine system to function optimally. We offer guidance tailored to your needs.
High stress destroys hormones. We help craft stress relief strategies, provide emotional support, and refer to therapists if warranted. Meditation is highly recommended.
Quality sleep is when much of the body's hormone production occurs. We offer sleep guidelines to help you get the restorative rest vital for hormonal health.
Exercise helps improve hormonal signaling and response. We suggest optimal types, durations and intensity levels of movement based on your health status. Even light walking daily provides benefits.
Mexico enjoys a predominantly warm, sunny climate year-round. However, to best support hormone health, we suggest these optimal therapy periods:
As sunlight hours increase following winter, patients often feel increased energy, libido, and vitality during spring. The moderate climate makes it perfect for initiating hormone replacement therapy, taking long walks outdoors to support treatment.
After the intense heat of summer, the cooler autumn climate again provides a prime time to either begin or optimize existing hormone therapy. The atmosphere tends to improve sleep quality and reduce stress during this season as well.
During therapy, we suggest visiting local parks, beaches, spas or restaurants like:
Spending time outdoors, reducing stress, staying active and eating nourishing foods enhances the likelihood of excellent treatment results.
The wide-ranging, often debilitating symptoms accompanying hormone decline significantly impact quality of life. Left untreated for prolonged periods, suboptimal hormone levels can even contribute to issues like heart disease, cancers, Alzheimer's and depression long-term.
That's why timely testing, accurate diagnosis, and prompt treatment are so vital, especially as patients age. Catching and addressing imbalances early on can help avoid disease as well as frustrating, uncomfortable signs like fatigue, weight gain and plummeting sex drive.
