The human body contains many different hormones that serve as chemical messengers to regulate critical bodily functions and processes. Some key hormones include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones. When certain hormones become imbalanced due to aging, stress, medical conditions, or other factors, people may experience unpleasant symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Re-balancing hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) provided by specialized medical providers like Renew Hormone Clinic can effectively minimize discomforts and help people feel their best.
Bioidentical hormones are substances that have a molecular structure identical to those produced naturally by the human body. They are often derived from plant sources and are used for BHRT to correct imbalances. Custom-compounded bioidentical hormones closely match hormones produced by an individual's unique biochemistry. This makes them safer and often more effective than traditional synthetic hormone medications.
When administered properly under medical supervision, including follow-up testing and dosage adjustments as needed, bioidentical hormone therapy can safely and effectively treat deficiencies or excesses of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.
Recognizing the common signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalances is an important first step toward pursuing proper treatment. However, clinical diagnosis requires specific lab testing to identify deficiencies or excesses impacting overall health and wellbeing.
Renew Hormone Clinic specializes in comprehensive hormone testing using advanced methodologies such as blood spot tests, saliva assays, urine sampling, pellets, and more. Sensitive tests evaluate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin, cortisol and indicators of thyroid function. Customized evaluation takes into account individual patient risk factors and biomarkers to provide specialized diagnosis and personalized care.
Early identification of hormonal issues enables timely treatment that can moderate symptoms, minimize risks of conditions exacerbated by ongoing imbalances, and promote patient health through proper hormone balance. Renew Hormone Clinic clinicians emphasize preventive care and continuous fine-tuning throughout therapy based on follow-up testing and feedback.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for treating menopause symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits.
Custom-formulated bioidentical hormone treatments help resolve deficiencies or excesses of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid and more to provide optimal balance for patient needs. Therapies aim to minimize unpleasant signs and symptoms while also reducing risks for hormone-influenced conditions like heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and certain cancers.
Patients report benefits like:
Ongoing fine-tuning based on patient feedback and follow-up lab testing helps sustain optimal outcomes long-term while also ensuring safety. Patients feel healthier, happier, more energetic and enjoy improved quality of life from properly balanced bioidentical hormones.

Since hormone balance involves complex interactions between multiple bodily systems, accurate diagnosis of deficiencies, excesses or dysfunction requires specialized testing beyond routine bloodwork.
Renew Hormone Clinic practitioners utilize advanced methodologies and sensitive assays to comprehensively evaluate patient hormone status, including:
Finger-stick collected blood samples dried on specially treated cards provide sensitive analysis of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid function (T3, T4) and additional biomarkers. Blood spot analysis offers convenience while avoiding challenges some patients face having blood drawn.
Saliva tests effectively measure unbound, circulating estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol and melatonin levels. Saliva sampling performed by patients at home under ideal collection timing provides key insights on bioavailable vs. total levels and diurnal hormone variations.
Urine and serum testing provide additional diagnostic accuracy regarding hormone metabolites and binding proteins. Pellet implants enable sustained testosterone delivery. Specialized evaluation identifies patient-specific needs guiding individualized care.
In addition to treatment plans focused on restoring and maintaining hormone balance through bioidentical hormone dosing, Renew Hormone Clinic practitioners emphasize lifestyle and wellness guidance tailored to help each patient achieve full vitality.
Nutrition - An anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, lean proteins and healthy fats provides the foundation. Targeted advice regarding nutritional supplements, adaptogens, phytoestrogens and specific foods/nutrients that support hormone health helps patients make impactful dietary improvements.
Exercise & Fitness – Regular physical activity fights age-related muscle loss while also decreasing belly fat associated with hormonal issues. Our practitioners thoughtfully recommend fitness regimens and local resources matched to patient interests and abilities. Custom guidance helps patients improve strength, mobility, bone health and more while also reducing stress and boosting feel-good endorphins.
Stress Management – Excess stress and related elevated cortisol negatively impacts hormone function. Patients receive counseling on effective stress reduction techniques including breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, journaling, nature immersion and other modalities for restoring calm, balance and emotional wellbeing.
Additional Wellness Care – Osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, massages and other treatments can provide adjunctive benefits. Referrals are available regarding respected local practitioners offering services that synergize with customized bioidentical hormone protocols.
Holistic protocols support lasting success by addressing lifestyle factors influencing wellness, hormone balance and patients’ sense of vitality.
Hormone-related symptoms and associated health risks tend to worsen progressively with ongoing imbalances. Therefore, promptly pursuing an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment provides important benefits:
Additionally, some hormone therapy benefits like protecting bone density and heart health are most effective when initiated sooner. Letting hormonal imbalance linger for too long can limit responsiveness.
Renew Hormone Clinic delivers responsive care guided by patient symptoms, medical history and specialized testing to accurately identify issues. Customized treatment plans promptly help patients regain balance and feel their best now while achieving sustained wellness over the long term.
