Bioidentical Hormone Therapies

Meaning

The clinical practice of using hormones that are chemically and structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. These compounds are synthesized from plant sources and are designed to perfectly fit the body’s hormone receptors, mimicking endogenous hormone action. The goal of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms of hormonal deficiency or imbalance, particularly during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause. Prescribing bioidentical hormones requires precise laboratory testing and individualized dosing to achieve optimal physiological levels.
Smiling individuals reflect hormone optimization and metabolic health success within a modern clinical setting. The path forward symbolizes the transformative patient journey towards endocrine balance and cellular wellness outcomes.
