Hormone Harmony Clinic in Pasadena specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), providing customized treatment plans to help patients find relief from symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances related to aging, menopause, and andropause. Our experienced medical staff understands the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment to restore optimal hormonal levels and improve quality of life.
Bioidentical hormone therapy involves restoring deficient hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA to optimal levels using plant-based hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body. This allows the body to recognize and properly metabolize the hormones, reducing side effects compared to traditional synthetic hormone drugs.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we create completely customized BHRT treatment plans by carefully analyzing each patient's unique hormonal profile and health goals. This personalized approach provides better treatment outcomes than the "one size fits all" method.
The first step is diagnosing the root cause of bothersome symptoms that disrupt quality of life. Common signs indicating a potential need for hormone balancing include:
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we offer comprehensive hormone blood testing to accurately identify imbalances. Understanding your unique hormone profile allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan including personalized doses of bioidentical hormones like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA to restore optimal balance.
Our bioidentical hormone replacement process begins with an extensive medical history analysis and physical exam. We then order blood tests checking hormone, cholesterol, vitamin and mineral levels. Once test results are received, our clinicians analyze the data and schedule a consultation to review findings and discuss treatment options.
If bioidentical HRT is recommended, we create a customized plan identifying the specific hormones and doses to prescribe based on the patient's hormonal profile and treatment goals. Follow-up blood tests are performed periodically to monitor progress and make dosage adjustments as needed.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we offer hormone pellet implants as our primary method of bioidentical hormone delivery. These small pellets implanted under the skin provide steady hormone release over several months, avoiding inconvenient daily pills, patches or gels. We also compound customized BHRT creams for more flexibility adjusting doses.
Balancing key hormones with bioidentical versions offers life-changing benefits including:
In essence, properly restoring deficient hormones with bioidentical versions allows patients to feel more like their younger selves - both physically and mentally.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are still needed.
While bioidentical hormone therapy provides enormous benefits, we also advise patients on certain lifestyle measures to maximize treatment success:
- Anti-inflammatory diet - Emphasizing plants, healthy fats and clean proteins while limiting sugar, refined carbs and alcohol - Gut-friendly foods like fermented items and prebiotic fiber - Strengthening gut flora improves hormone metabolism - Sufficient micronutrients - Getting enough vitamin D, zinc, magnesium and essential fatty acids optimizes hormone activity and response
- Regular exercise stimulates beneficial hormone release while reducing inflammatory factors - Stress-relieving practices like yoga, meditation, massage and nature exposure modulate key hormones like cortisol for better balance
- Adequate sleep allows critical hormonal repair and recovery processes to occur - aim for 7-9 hours nightly - Consistency matters - maintain similar bed/wake times to support circadian rhythms
While we handle the medical aspects of hormone optimization, we encourage patients to also prioritize healthy lifestyle measures for best treatment success.
