Bioidentical hormone treatment can help both men and women restore balance, vitality, and an overall sense of wellbeing. As a leading hormone clinic, Restore Wellness Center provides all the essential information you need about bioidentical hormones and their benefits. Read on to learn how balanced hormones can transform your health.
Bioidentical hormones are manufactured to be an exact match to the hormones produced naturally by the human body. The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones include:
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones in your body. This allows them to bind more efficiently with hormone receptors and mimic the function of natural hormones.
Synthetic hormones like those found in certain birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy drugs, and testosterone creams contain man-made hormones that are not bioidentical.
Key differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormones:
Ultimately, bioidentical hormone therapy works to restore optimal hormone levels safely, effectively and naturally. That's why Restore Wellness Center only provides customized bioidentical hormone treatments.
Below are some key signs and symptoms that you may benefit from bioidentical hormone therapy:
Both men and women over the age of 30 begin to experience a natural decline in hormone production. Lifestyle also impacts hormone levels through poor diet, lack of exercise, and high stress.
Treating a hormone imbalance with bioidentical hormones can reverse many of these symptoms and restore wellness.
Before beginning any hormone therapy, comprehensive lab testing is essential to determine your individual hormone needs.

Testing methods include:
| Test Type | Description |
