Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), also known as bioidentical hormones replacement or bioidentical hormones doctor, uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally in the human body to restore hormone balance. Bioidentical hormones help relieve symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies and improve overall well-being.
At Renew Hormone Clinic in Dublin, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement plans to meet each patient's unique needs. We take a holistic approach focused on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes in addition to bioidentical hormones replacement.
Natural hormone levels decline with age, and hormone deficiencies become increasingly common in both men and women as they get older. Common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances include:
Bioidentical hormone replacement can provide immense relief from these symptoms and help patients regain optimal health. The skilled practitioners at Renew Hormone Clinic carefully evaluate hormone levels and symptoms to determine if BHRT is appropriate. We develop customized treatment plans to restore hormone balance based on each patient's unique physiology and needs.
Numerous research studies demonstrate that BHRT provides significant benefits, including:
Balancing hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement helps patients look and feel healthier while supporting long-term wellness.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced by the ovaries and testes. This allows them to bind to hormone receptors in the body and mimic natural hormone activity.
There are two main forms of bioidentical hormones:
Estrogen and progesterone regulate female sexual development and reproduction. Imbalances in these hormones underlie many unpleasant perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone replace declining levels, helping restore hormone balance and providing menopausal symptom relief. They are available in pills, creams, injections, implants, and vaginal suppositories.
Testosterone plays key roles in male reproduction and metabolic function but also contributes to energy, libido, bone health and muscle mass in both men and women.
Bioidentical testosterone therapy, also called testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helps restore healthy testosterone levels, improving symptoms in testosterone-deficient men and women. Bioidentical testosterone is available in gels, injections, pellets, and sometimes pills.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones, though large studies are still needed to compare effectiveness and safety.
The practitioners at Renew Hormone Clinic specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement, using an integrated, patient-centered approach that involves:
We conduct advanced hormone testing to accurately identify imbalances and determine appropriate bioidentical hormones dosing on an individualized basis. Follow-up testing monitors treatment effectiveness.
After thoroughly assessing patients’ symptoms, medical history, and test results, our practitioners tailor bioidentical hormone replacement regimens to suit each patient’s unique needs. The dosage, hormones used, and delivery methods are carefully selected for optimal safety and therapeutic benefit.
Lifestyle changes like improved nutrition, stress reduction techniques, targeted supplements, and increased physical activity work synergistically with bioidentical hormones to restore vitality. Our practitioners offer customized lifestyle optimization advice.
Patients are closely monitored throughout bioidentical hormone therapy to ensure hormones are balanced correctly. Follow-up assessments allow for treatment fine-tuning over time for maximal benefits.
In particular, Renew Hormone Clinic specializes in testosterone deficiency and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). We have years of experience using bioidentical testosterone to safely and effectively treat testosterone deficiency in men.
Testosterone, the main male sex hormone, fuels libido, fertility, muscle mass, bone density, and more. Testosterone levels peak in early adulthood then slowly decline about 1 percent per year after age 30-40.
Some men experience a more rapid decline, causing noticeable hypogonadism symptoms like fatigue, poor concentration, irritability, reduced athletic performance and depression. Muscle loss, weight gain, erectile dysfunction and low libido may also develop.
Low testosterone affects around 40 percent of men over age 45 yet frequently goes undiagnosed and untreated due to the gradual nature of onset. Left unaddressed, the consequences of testosterone deficiency add up over time - impacting quality of life and increasing disease risks.
Testosterone deficiency requires prompt medical attention and treatment to halt further deterioration and restore men’s vitality.
Several blood tests accurately measure testosterone levels, indicating if deficiency exists. Men may have “low normal” testosterone but still experience multiple bothersome hypogonadal symptoms requiring treatment. Renew Hormone Clinic practitioners conduct thorough assessments to determine if TRT is appropriate, reviewing:
Some men may also need testing to ensure the safety of TRT, like PSA tests to screen for prostate issues.
Renew Hormone Clinic specializes in effectively treating testosterone deficiency with customized bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy. Available options include:
When medically appropriate, we also address secondary hormonal and lifestyle factors impacting testosterone deficiency.
Rigorously monitored TRT with bioidentical testosterone alleviates deficiency symptoms - restoring muscle tone, vigor, virility, motivation, confidence and health in hypogonadal men.
The benefits of properly administered testosterone replacement for hypogonadal men are well-established, including:
To maximize the beneficial outcomes from bioidentical hormone therapy, we provide patients with specialized nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modification advice. Key lifestyle recommendations include:
Aim for a high intake of fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, high-fiber carbohydrates, and lean protein while limiting sugar, processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Ensure adequate vitamin D3 and omega-3 intake.
Adopt regular relaxation practices like meditation, yoga, or nature exposure to better manage life stresses. Set personal boundaries appropriately and keep work demands reasonable. Prioritize good sleep and relationships.
Incorporate both aerobic activity and strength training into daily routines as able. Even light regular activity stimulates hormone activity and provides therapeutic benefits. Engage muscles and improve flexibility.
Optimize wellness long-term by undergoing regular medical check-ups and age-appropriate health screenings. Prioritize immune resilience through sound lifestyle habits. Tend promptly to any emerging medical issues.
Seek out meaningful interpersonal connections and community engagement opportunities. Loneliness and isolation influence hormones and health on par with obesity and smoking. Surround yourself with supportive relationships and activities that bring purpose and joy.
When combined with appropriate bioidentical hormone therapy, tailored lifestyle optimization helps patients achieve full restoration of their health, quality of life and vitality.
