Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but sometimes unexplained symptoms can indicate a more serious deficiency. Getting tested is crucial, as restoring balance with bioidentical hormone replacement brings extensive health benefits.
Common deficiency signs include:
- Hot flashes - Night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Incontinence - Hair loss - Thinning skin - Weight gain - Loss of strength
- Depression - Irritability - Anxiety - Lack of motivation - Reduced enjoyment
- Memory lapses - Difficulty concentrating - Fuzzy thinking - Trouble sleeping
- Reduced libido - Irregular periods - Infertility - Increased infections
If experiencing multiple unexplained symptoms, testing hormone levels is strongly advised. Our caring staff at Balance Hormone Clinic use advanced diagnostics to uncover deficiencies. We create fully personalized plans to restore wellbeing through bioidentical hormone replacement.
Bioidentical hormone therapy uses plant-based hormones identical to those naturally made. Custom compounded prescriptions match each patient's needs. Regimens may include:
Relieves hot flashes, vaginal issues, urinary problems, skin changes and osteoporosis. Types include:
Works synergistically with estrogen for overall balance. Essential for regulating menstruation and pregnancy wellness.
Vital for sexual health, muscle tone, motivation and cognitive skills in both men and women.
Needed for collagen production, immunity and mental clarity. Levels peak around age 25 then decline.
Regulates weight, energy, body temperature, mood and much more. Deficiency causes hypothyroidism.
Experts tailor combinations, doses and delivery methods (oral, topical, pellets) to suit needs. Most patients start with estrogen and progesterone. Testosterone and/or DHEA may be added later depending on blood panels and symptom response.
Ongoing monitoring ensures optimal therapeutic results. We collaborate until hormones are stabilized for patients to feel their best.
Hormone deficiencies often worsen gradually, allowing imbalances to compound over months or years. That's why identifying and addressing shortfalls promptly is strongly advised.
The spectrum of debilitating symptoms severely reduces one’s quality of life when deficiencies go untreated. Health risks like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity and cancer also rise significantly.
Meanwhile, balancing hormones through properly prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement alleviates troubling signs relatively quickly. Custom therapies also benefit long-term wellness in profound ways.
Mood regulation improves dramatically, with most patients reporting increased optimism and enjoyment within the first month. Anxiety, irritability and sadness lift to restore emotional steadiness. Motivation kicks in again too.
Strength builds as muscle tone improves. Energy and stamina increase, allowing people to engage in activities they love. Quality sleep regulates metabolism to encourage healthy weight. Skin, hair and additional aspects regenerate.
Libido rebounds for most patients in 6-8 weeks. Lubrication improves to increase comfort and pleasure. For couples struggling with infertility, properly balanced hormones greatly raise conception odds.
With consistently balanced estrogens and androgens flowing to nurture neurons, concentration climbs. Memory glitches become less frequent as mental acuity focuses. Processing skills excel to boost productivity.

Iowa's dramatic weather shifts can influence hormone therapy response. We often recommend initiating treatment in spring as temperatures stabilize. Feeling revitalized for summer activities feels wonderful.
For those preferring to start in cooler months, we suggest layering up warmly between November through March. Once deficiencies are corrected, patients report feeling less sensitive seasonally due to regulated body temperature.
