Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy utilizes hormones that are “biologically identical” which means they are structurally and functionally the same as the hormones that our body naturally produces. 

Whereas, conventional hormone replacement uses synthetic hormones that are “similar” to naturally occurring hormones produced in humans but are not the same in molecular structure.

Hormonal imbalances are often the root cause of some commonly experienced symptoms such as weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, depression, low sex drive, anxiety, fatigue, PMS, irregular periods, hair loss, abnormal hair growth, mood swings, vaginal dryness, night sweats, prostate enlargement, erectile dysfunction and so much more.

Hormonal imbalances can be detected using blood, saliva and/or urine tests. Test results will assist your Naturopathic Doctor with various treatment options to balance your hormones.

If hormonal balance can be not be achieved with diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture then bioidentical hormone therapy may also be recommended based upon outcomes of blood, saliva, and/or urine laboratory assessments.
