Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing uncomfortable symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels alleviating these symptoms and promoting better health.
Synthetic hormones commonly used in traditional hormone replacement therapy are not structurally identical to human hormones. This can lead to unpleasant side effects and potential health risks. In contrast, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular makeup allowing them to bind more efficiently with hormone receptors in the body for better symptom relief with less risk.
Experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, low libido, or anxiety could indicate a hormone imbalance. Getting your hormone levels tested is crucial for determining if BHRT is right for you. Wellness Hormone Clinic partners with local laboratories providing comprehensive panels measuring key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, etc.
Every patient has unique needs and objectives for treatment. Our experienced practitioners develop fully customized protocols selecting the right bioidentical hormones and dosages to restore optimal levels based on your lab results, medical history, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide similar benefits to conventional hormone therapy, while potentially avoiding certain risks. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their long-term safety and efficacy compared to traditional treatments.
Hormone levels fluctuate so ongoing follow-ups and lab testing are necessary to evaluate progress and make dosage tweaks. We collaborate long-term, tracking symptoms and labs, to ensure your customized treatment protocol continues meeting your individual needs.
Bioidentical hormone therapy is most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle choices. We provide customized diet, exercise, stress management and supplementation recommendations to complement treatment. Connecting with local resources can also promote wellbeing. We recommend Hohenwald's beautiful walking trails and highly-rated fitness centers like ABC Fitness.
Wellness Hormone Clinic practitioners have over 15 years experience specializing in BHRT. We stay current on the latest research and best practices. Our personalized approach, ongoing fine-tuning of treatment protocols, and collaboration with top local labs allows us to optimize hormone levels and symptom relief for each patient.
Persistent, otherwise unexplained symptoms like fatigue, anxiety and low libido often indicate a treatable hormone deficiency. Getting a comprehensive hormone panel is critical for identifying imbalances early when treatment is most effective. We partner with trusted local labs using cutting-edge analysis for precision results.
Hormone levels begin decreasing in our 30s-40s. Diet, medications, toxins, stress and medical conditions can accelerate deficiency. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits can help slow this decline.
Comprehensive testing measures free and total levels of key hormones:
* Hot flashes * Night sweats * Vaginal dryness * Unexplained weight gain * Low libido * Erectile dysfunction * Fatigue * Anxiety or depression * Brain fog * Sleep disruption * Hair loss
These bothersome signs indicate falling hormone levels. Identifying deficiencies early makes treatment more effective. Our practitioners interpret comprehensive lab panels, assessing complex hormone interactions, to pinpoint imbalances. We then craft customized bioidentical hormone replacement regimens to restore optimal levels alleviating symptoms. With ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments most patients enjoy sustained benefits long-term.
Taking the first step towards feeling your best again can seem daunting. We simplify the process:
We conduct a medical history review, evaluate symptoms, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. If appropriate, we order comprehensive lab testing. Follow up consult to interpret results.
Based on clinical evaluation and lab results, we design a fully customized bioidentical hormone regimen meeting your unique needs.

Declining estrogen is inevitable with perimenopause and menopause. Deficiency causes a range of uncomfortable symptoms. Bioidentical estrogen therapy can provide relief.
* Hot flashes * Night sweats interrupting sleep * Vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse * Increased urgency or frequency of urination * Mood swings and irritability * Difficulty focusing and memory lapses * Accelerated skin aging
The main types of estrogen are estradiol, estriol and estrone which all decline with age. We often incorporate all three bioidentical forms for optimal restoration mimicking the body’s natural ratio at various life stages.
* Reduces hot flashes/night sweats * Relieves vaginal dryness * Improves sleep quality * Stabilizes moods * Enhances mental clarity * Prevents skin aging * Supports heart health * Maintains bone mineral density
Bioidentical estrogen therapy effectively alleviates menopause symptoms for most women. With careful customization of dosages and delivery methods combined with monitoring of labs and clinical response, patients can enjoy sustained benefits and an overall improved quality of life.
We measure blood level response to therapy ensuring you achieve optimal estrogen status without excessive levels that may increase health risks. Symptom evaluation is also key - monitoring hot flashes, night sweats, sleep quality, mental clarity etc. This enables precision dose adjustments specific to your needs.
Estrogen deficiency can disrupt all aspects of life. Restoring optimal estrogen status alleviates symptoms, greatly improving health and quality of life. Wellness Hormone Clinic specializes in precision bioidentical hormone therapies giving sustained benefits with minimal risks.
Testosterone levels progressively fall as we age. Low testosterone (Low T) affects both men and women causing symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, disrupted sleep and mood instability. Bioidentical testosterone therapy can provide a needed boost.
Lab testing measuring free and total testosterone levels compared to optimal reference ranges for gender and age is crucial for accurately identifying clinically low levels. We also carefully evaluate symptoms - substantial relief upon treatment further supports deficiency diagnosis.
* Increased energy, stamina and mental clarity * Easier fat-loss and increased muscle mass * Improved mood stability and sense of well-being * Restored libido, sexual performance and satisfaction * Better sleep quality * Stronger bones protecting against fractures and osteoporosis * Stabilized blood sugar reducing diabetes risk * Relief of urogenital symptoms like frequent/urgent urination * Improved joint comfort reducing arthritis symptoms
Restoring youthful vitality and function, testosterone replacement therapy significantly enhances quality of life when properly administered and monitored.
We thoughtfully consider our patient’s lifestyle, preferences and needs when designing TRT protocols. Delivery methods we offer include:
Ongoing follow-up care every 6 to 12 weeks includes lab testing with free/total testosterone levels, CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, PSA for men, symptom evaluations, and dosage adjustments as needed to sustain maximum benefits.
With careful clinical oversight, monitoring and optimizing of treatment regimens matched to your needs, TRT offers safe revitalizing benefits for many. Contact Wellness Hormone Clinic to see if our TRT therapy programs are right for you.
Progesterone plays key roles throughout the body regulating other hormones, stabilizing mood, supporting restful sleep, maintaining healthy bones and more. Age-related decline contributes to menopausal symptoms. Restoring optimal levels can promote better health and quality of life.
* Sleep disruption - Difficulty falling/staying asleep * Anxiety * Irritability * Bloating or fluid retention * Weight gain - Particularly around the abdomen * Hot flashes * Night sweats * Painful or tender breasts * Heavy, painful periods * PMS symptoms like moodiness and cravings
* Improves sleep quality * Stabilizes mood - Reduces anxiety, irritability and depression * Enhances mental clarity and memory * Normalizes fluid balance alleviating bloating * Promotes weight loss * Reduces hot flashes/night sweats * Protects heart health * Prevents bone loss associated with menopause * Restores regular menstrual cycles Many women have reduced progesterone levels contributing to uncomfortable symptoms long before their final menstrual period. Identifying and addressing deficiencies earlier rather than later can alleviate bothersome symptoms, preventing escalation and promoting better overall health.
We specialize in precision micronized bioidentical progesterone regimens - creams, pills or pellets - crafted to restore your optimal levels based on careful evaluation of symptoms and lab results for sustained therapeutic benefits.
DHEA is a precursor our bodies use to manufacture estrogen, testosterone and other hormones that decline with age. Low DHEA is linked to health risks making testing and supplementation important.
* Enhances libido, sexual function * Improves mood, sense of well-being * Increases energy * Builds bone density protecting against osteoporosis * Reduces risk for heart disease * Promotes weight loss, increased muscle mass * Improves memory, mental clarity with age * Strengthens the immune system
DHEA peaks around age 25 then progressively declines. Levels below the optimal range warrants supplementation for maximizing wellness and longevity. Comparing symptoms to lab results allows us to accurately identify clinically low DHEA.
We prescribe bioidentical, micronized DHEA matched to your optimal dosing needs. With regular follow-up blood tests and symptom reviews, adjustments ensure continual therapeutic benefits without adverse effects from excessive levels.
Restoring youthful DHEA levels can enhance quality of life in many meaningful ways. As leaders in precision bioidentical hormone replacement, contact Wellness Hormone Clinic to see if DHEA therapy should be part of your customized treatment protocol.
The thyroid hormones T3 and T4 regulate metabolism. Low levels cause weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, cold sensitivity, muscle aches, impaired memory and more. Bioidentical thyroid supplementation can effectively resolve deficiency.
Thyroid blood tests help identify low function but optimal diagnosis requires assessing clinical symptoms alongside lab results. We also test thyroid antibodies related to autoimmune Hashimoto's disease - the top cause of deficiency.
No two hypothyroid patients are alike. We design individualized regimens selecting the right bioidentical thyroid medication at the appropriate dose along with supporting nutrients tailored to your needs for optimal restoration of thyroid function and relief of deficiency symptoms.
Thyroid hormone blood levels fluctuate so ongoing testing after starting treatment is key to ensure continually optimal dosing. We also monitor clinical symptoms and metabolic markers making dosage tweaks as necessary.
With individualized protocols personalized to your needs along with careful clinical oversight and precision dose adjustments, thyroid hormone replacement therapy safely alleviates deficiency for more energy, easier weight management and an overall improved quality of life.
The FDA approves pharmaceutical drugs. As identical replicas of endogenous human hormones, bioidentical hormones are regulated by the FDA as specialized compounding preparations. All our formulations come from PCAB-accredited pharmacies meeting the highest safety and quality standards.
Blood serum analysis provides precise, objective measurements of circulating free and total hormone levels. Saliva testing can be variable and less reliable. We partner with top labs for the most accurate blood hormone panels.
We thoughtfully consider your lifestyle, preferences, and changing needs over time when designing fully customized regimens selecting the ideal delivery methods for your treatment goals. Both pellets and topical creams work well for bioidentical hormone replacement when administered appropriately.
Because bioidentical hormones precisely match human hormones, they carry less risks than synthetics when properly dosed and monitored. We minimize side effects through fully customized treatment protocols tailored to your unique needs along with careful clinical oversight, lab testing and dosage adjustments.
Most patients report significant improvements in troubling menopause symptoms like hot flashes within 1-2 weeks of starting properly administered bioidentical estrogen therapy. Libido, sexual function, energy, endurance, and mood stability improve faster with testosterone while benefits for sleep, anxiety, memory and bone health accrue more gradually over months.
