Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones can provide immense relief.
At Renew Hormone Clinic clinic in Millington, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones chemically identical to those your body makes. BHRT safely relieves symptoms of hormone imbalance allowing you to feel healthy and energetic again.
Bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to hormones produced by the human body. The most commonly replaced hormones are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
BHRT uses bioidentical hormones derived from plant sources and modified to be biologically equivalent to human hormones. This allows them to bind perfectly to hormone receptors in the body providing optimal symptom relief.
Replacing deficient bioidentical hormones provides significant benefits including:
Our clinic's doctors and nurses specialize in bioidentical hormone therapy. We stay current on the latest medical research to provide the most effective formulations and treatment plans.
Our compassionate staff understands the frustrations of hormone deficiency and works closely with patients to relieve symptoms and help them feel their best again.
We fully explain treatment options, monitor progress carefully and make dosage adjustments based on follow up lab tests and symptom monitoring. We partner with local compounding pharmacies providing customized bioidentical hormones for each patient.
Declining hormone levels cause wide-ranging symptoms that negatively impact health and quality of life. Understanding the role of various hormones and identifying deficiency symptoms is crucial for proper treatment.
Estrogen helps regulate the reproductive system and metabolic processes. Low estrogen levels cause:
The major sex hormone in males required for reproductive function. In women, it boosts libido, muscle mass and energy.
Low testosterone symptoms include:
Getting started on bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) begins with testing to identify deficient hormones then creating a customized treatment plan.
Comprehensive hormone testing provides critical information for developing an optimal dosing protocol targeting deficiencies.
We use leading national labs for the most accurate saliva, blood and urine testing measuring levels of:
Follow up tests are conducted periodically to ensure hormones are maintained in healthy ranges as dosages are adjusted.
Hormone deficiencies and optimal dosages differ widely between patients. We develop individualized plans considering:
Most patients see significant improvements within 1-2 months after starting properly balanced BHRT. Dosages are continually evaluated based on follow up testing and reported symptom relief.
Bioidentical hormones are available in various forms allowing comfortable at home self-administration:
Our clinicians recommend the optimal delivery method for each patient.
Allowing hormone levels to remain low for extended time significantly impacts health and quality of life. Restoring balance promptly is vitally important.
Studies show unaddressed hormone deficiencies sharply increase risks for:
Balancing hormones promptly reduces these dangers, protecting long term health.
Low hormones cause extremely unpleasant symptoms severely reducing quality of life like:
Prompt hormone restoration alleviates these greatly improving daily function and wellbeing.

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 natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) works best when combined with proper nutrition, regular exercise, healthy stress management and high quality sleep.
Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables to obtain needed minerals like magnesium and vitamins essential for hormone production and balance. High fiber foods improve estrogen elimination preventing dangerous recirculation through the liver.
Regular activity helps balance hormones and offset age related muscle loss. Aim for 30-60 minutes daily with a mix of flexibility training, aerobic exercise and strength training using weights, resistance bands or bodyweight exercises. Consider joining local gyms like Energize Fitness or CorePower Yoga.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol which can disrupt optimal testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, gentle yoga or savoring calming activities like walking outside or reading. Consider booking a package of therapeutic massages at locally owned Serenity Spa.
Hormones rely on regular circadian rhythms centered around nighttime sleep. Prioritize at least 7 hours nightly avoiding digital devices before bed. Consider blackout curtains if early daylight disrupts deep REM sleep.
