Many patients come to Hormone Harmony Clinic with complaints that reflect an underlying hormone imbalance - often without realizing it. As we age or go through changes in life, our hormones can fluctuate outside of optimal ranges, leading to unpleasant symptoms and health issues. Rebalancing these hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) provided by specialized medical professionals can provide tremendous benefits.
Hormone deficiencies should not be taken lightly. They can negatively impact energy, cognition, weight management, sexual health, emotional wellbeing, heart health, and more. The key is identifying them promptly through testing and then beginning customized treatment under the care of knowledgeable practitioners. Hormone Harmony Clinic' medical team has over a decade of experience successfully treating hormone imbalances through science-based protocols tailored to each patient's needs.
"Bioidentical" refers to hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally by the human body. This includes key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid hormone, and more. When our levels decline or spike outside of healthy ranges, restoring balance with bioidentical versions can help patients feel like themselves again.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we provide cutting edge bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, which allows for steady hormone delivery over months at a time. We also utilize bioidentical creams, pills, patches, and injections when appropriate. Our practitioners are experts at finding the right method for each patient based on factors like lifestyle, preferences, sensitivities, and treatment goals.
There are a variety of hormonal issues that can cause concerning symptoms. The most frequent imbalances we treat at Hormone Harmony Clinic include:
Through comprehensive lab testing and evaluation of symptoms, we pinpoint where patients' hormones are off balance, then craft customized treatment plans to restore optimal levels.

The providers at Hormone Harmony Clinic recognize that hormone balance is highly individualized. We do not take a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

Next, our nurses provide detailed education about the treatment options best suited to the patient's physiology and lifestyle.

Who is a good candidate for hormone therapy?
Those experiencing low energy, mental fog, unexplained weight gain, low libido, mood changes, hot flashes, or other symptoms potentially related to hormone decline may benefit from testing and treatment. Age is not always correlated with hormone status. Even patients in their 30s-40s can experience deficiencies.

There are minimal risks with bioidentical hormones from specialty providers. However, patients with certain conditions may require modified dosing and monitoring. Our staff review all precautions.
