Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide life-changing relief of symptoms for both men and women suffering from age-related or other causes of hormone imbalance. Horizon Hormone Therapy has extensive experience providing customized bioidentical hormone therapy in Oak Park to help patients regain optimal wellbeing. Read on to learn the basics about bioidentical hormones and their many benefits.
Bioidentical hormones are substances that have a chemical structure identical to hormones naturally produced in the human body. Common examples are estradiol, progesterone and testosterone.
At Horizon Hormone Therapy, we use only the highest quality bioidentical hormones sourced from reputable pharmacies in precise ratios and potencies to match your individual hormone levels and needs.
Imbalanced hormone levels cause wide-ranging symptoms that disrupt wellbeing and quality of life. Key signs of deficiency include:
Relieving uncomfortable symptoms is just the start. Bioidentical hormone therapy also has beneficial protective effects against developing certain age-related diseases down the road.
Balanced hormones enhance overall vitality, allowing you to feel - and function - at your best regardless of age.
The first step is getting hormone tests to accurately assess your individual hormone levels. Horizon Hormone Therapy partners with top local labs. We carefully review your test results and then develop a customized treatment plan to restore balance.
Hormone therapy is available in oral capsules, sublingual drops, topical creams or injectable preparations based on your needs and preferences. We work closely with patients to fine-tune their treatment regimens until full symptom relief and hormonal balance is achieved.
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.
Bioidentical hormone therapy helps replenish depleted hormones for symptom relief. We also provide guidance on beneficial lifestyle choices to support optimal wellness during treatment:
Horizon Hormone Therapy partners with excellent local practitioners to create a fully integrated approach for your best results.
The earlier hormone imbalance is identified and properly addressed, the more effectively symptoms can be managed or reversed. Without treatment, certain risks compound over time.
For women lacking estrogen, the chance of developing osteoporosis increases with untreated deficiency. Bone density declines rapidly in the first few years after menopause.
Likewise, testosterone-deficient men who do not receive testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are more prone to losing lean muscle mass and bone strength while gaining abdominal fat.
Delaying bioidentical hormone restoration can limit your gains. Horizon Hormone Therapy specializes in early detection and prompt treatment for optimal response.
Oak Park’s abundance of tree-lined parks, walking trails and outdoor recreation make it an ideal setting for bioidentical hormone therapy. Being active out in nature has proven mental health benefits to combat mood changes.
