Bioidentical hormone therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to treat deficiencies and imbalances. At Balance Hormone Center in Los Alamos, New Mexico, we specialize in crafting custom bioidentical hormone treatment plans to help patients find relief from symptoms and restore optimal wellness.

Why Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones offer distinct advantages over traditional synthetic hormones:

  • They have the same chemical structure as hormones made in the body, allowing for improved physiological recognition and utilization
  • Studies show greater safety and efficacy with few side effects
  • Dosages can be individually tailored and modified as needed
  • Variety of delivery methods - pills, patches, gels, pellets, etc.

At Balance Hormone Center, our endocrinologist specializing in female hormones carefully evaluates each patient and prescribes a treatment protocol using only high quality FDA-approved bioidentical hormones.

Common Hormonal Imbalances

Hormonal issues affect both women and men, becoming more prevalent with age. Common imbalances include:

Estrogen Deficiency

  • Symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping
  • Associated with perimenopause and menopause
  • Low estrogen levels also linked to heart disease and osteoporosis risk

Progesterone Deficiency

  • Symptoms: abnormal periods, infertility, anxiety, headaches
  • Often occurs alongside estrogen decline
  • Key for regulating menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy

Testosterone Deficiency

  • Symptoms: low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, fatigue
  • Gradual age-related reduction in testosterone in both genders
  • Can develop earlier due to disease or injury

A blood panel checking hormone levels can definitively diagnose a deficiency. Our clinicians help interpret results and create tailored treatment plans using bioidentical hormones to restore balance.

Assessing Your Hormone Levels

Comprehensive lab testing is crucial for identifying specific hormone imbalances. We recommend testing the following hormones:

Hormone Function
Estradiol The most potent estrogen
Progesterone Supports menstruation and pregnancy
Testosterone Impacts sexual function and muscle growth
DHEA Precursor of estrogen and testosterone
Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 Essential for metabolism and energy levels

Reference ranges vary by factors like age, gender, and menstrual phase. Our experienced bioidentical hormone specialist helps analyze your blood work, taking your symptoms into account, to determine if hormone therapy is recommended.

We also check key markers like FSH, LH, SHBG, and fasting insulin to complete the hormonal picture. Follow-up testing lets us adjust dosages to optimal levels.
