Bioidentical hormone therapy involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to treat deficiencies and imbalance. At Restore Wellness Clinic, our goal is to help patients optimize hormone levels to restore health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
Low levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can cause wide-ranging symptoms. Being attuned to the signs of imbalance empowers patients to seek treatment through bioidentical therapy.
Estrogen is essential for physiological processes in both women and men. When levels drop, patients may experience:
Timely treatment can provide immense relief from troublesome symptoms and reduce the risk of developing associated conditions.
Progesterone works alongside estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle and support fertility, pregnancy, and more. Deficiency signs include:
Balancing hormones such as progesterone relieves symptoms at their root cause.
In both men and women, falling testosterone levels contribute to:
Testosterone therapy under medical supervision brings transformative benefits, especially for men as they age.
Monitoring hormones through blood tests provides important objective data to diagnose deficiencies or imbalance. Restore Wellness Clinic uses advanced testing to tailor bioidentical regimens to each patient's needs.
Treatment with bioidentical hormones offers life-changing benefits. They can:
"Bioidentical" means the molecular structure is identical to what the human body produces. They are sourced from plant compounds and custom-formulated in compounding pharmacies.
Delivery methods include:
Restore Wellness Clinic specializes in blended, balanced regimens tailored to each patient based on symptoms, medical history, and hormone test results. We utilize the latest bioidentical hormones and proven methods like pellet implants to maximize treatment success.

Many misconceptions still surround the use of bioidentical hormones to treat deficiency. However, scientific and medical research has proven the safety and efficacy of properly administered therapy.
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Taking hormones like estrogen causes cancer | When bioidentical estrogen and progesterone are correctly balanced for the individual, therapy does NOT increase cancer risks and may confer protection |
| The risks outweigh the benefits | For deficiency, the benefits of restoring optimal hormone levels far outweigh negligible risks |
| Therapy isn't "natural" | Bioidentical simply refers to the identical molecular structure to endogenous human hormones. They are derived from plant compounds and not synthetically made. |
| My diet provides all the hormones I need | While nutritional intake does help, exogenous bioidentical administration is sometimes still required for optimal balance |
| It's only necessary for severe menopause symptoms | Keeping hormones in their evolutionarily adapted ranges provides extensive benefits beyond just hot flash relief |
| Pellets don't allow for dosage regulation | Our providers carefully calculate pellet dosing and can adjust regimen specifics over time as needed |
| Blood monitoring isn't necessary | Repeated laboratory testing lets us accurately gauge dosing effects and fine-tune hormone levels |
| Custom blends aren't useful or safe | Tailored combinations are instrumental for restoring unique balances safely |
Restore Wellness Clinic doctors keep current on all the latest research to best advise patients seeking to benefit from cutting-edge bioidentical therapy.
Sarah's Story:
"After struggling terribly with menopause symptoms that made it hard to sleep, concentrate at work, or exercise enough, I found the perfect solution through bioidentical hormones from Restore Wellness Clinic. Now hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings are fully under control, and I have so much energy and mental clarity! I should have done this years ago. I'd recommend them to any woman wanting to regain optimal wellness."*
Symptoms provide clues, but measuring objective hormone concentrations in the body is key for diagnosis. This requires accurate, reliable assays from certified laboratories.
We relay test results along with any relevant symptoms to our panel of geographically diverse medical experts for high-quality interpretations. They determine which hormones show insufficiency and require balancing through bioidentical therapy.
Ongoing monitoring then lets us continually optimize regimens as bodies and lives change. We partner with patients for the long-term goal of sustaining ideal wellness.
Recommendations for Testing:
Baseline assessment should occur by age 35 in women and age 40 in men due to declining hormones. This benchmark identifies issues early for prompt treatment.
Annual testing allows timely adjustments for new deficiencies and evolving needs. We can also check progress on specific parameters being targeted through therapy.
Ideally, assays measure levels of reproductive hormones plus cortisol, thyroid, melatonin, and DHEA, which broadly regulate metabolism. Testing can use blood draws, urine collections, or saliva sampling for a non-invasive option.
Restore Wellness Clinic offers state-of-the-art hormone testing coordinated seamlessly with follow-up consults to interpret results. We then craft tailored bioidentical therapy for individualized restoration of optimal balance.
The methodologies and delivery systems for bioidentical therapy continue advancing rapidly, with notable innovations including:
Restore Wellness Clinic continually vets and validates emerging science to incorporate cutting-edge bioidentical options into tailored treatment plans when appropriate. We combine the best of proven traditional approaches with innovative therapies for superior safety, efficacy, and convenience.
Chris's Experience:
"I'd noticed my energy tanking, mental sharpness declining, and just feeling more aches and pains lately. When my doctor said it was from waning testosterone as I age and suggested bioidentical therapy, I was skeptical but decided to give it a shot. After a few months, the transformation has been incredible - I legit feel like my 25-year-old self again, both physically and mentally! I wish I had done this sooner. And the pellets are so convenient."*
Various routes of administration have distinct advantages and disadvantages for bioidentical hormones. The best applications depend on patient factors and preferences.
Pills - Oral dosing is convenient but subject to first-pass metabolism, lowering bioavailability. Time-release capsules provide steady exposure.
Creams - Transdermal gels and lotions bypass digestive breakdown, allowing excellent absorption, but require daily applications.
Patches - Also transdermal, these passively deliver consistent hormones avoiding peaks and troughs. However, some patients develop skin irritation.
Sublingual drops - Placed under the tongue, these liquify for rapid entry into the blood without liver processing. Dosing frequency can be as much as three times daily.
Pellets - Implanting small cylinders under the skin avoids fluctuations and provides consistent hormone levels for several months. This is a highly convenient option, but pellet insertion is a minor medical procedure.
Thinking about starting bioidentical hormone therapy but not sure where to start? Here is some guidance:
Restore Wellness Clinic has the expertise to seamlessly facilitate transformative therapy tailored to your unique health goals.
Testosterone, the predominant male androgen, is synonymous with masculinity and vigor. But natural declines with age, dubbed "andropause," contribute to a loss of strength, reduced libido, and compromises in wellbeing.
Bioidentical testosterone therapy aims to restore youthful functioning by replacing diminishing hormones. Benefits for men can include:
