Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide life-changing benefits for both women and men suffering from age-related hormone decline or imbalance. As we get older, our hormone levels naturally decrease, leading to unpleasant symptoms that can significantly reduce quality of life. Replacing these depleted hormones through bioidentical hormones custom-compounded to match your individual hormonal needs, can help restore optimal levels, enabling you to look and feel your best.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. This allows them to be recognized and utilized by hormone receptors to exert the same beneficial effects as your endogenous hormones. In contrast, traditional hormone replacement therapy utilizes synthetic or non-human versions of hormones that may not have the same physiological actions.
At Harmony Hormone Clinic in Scottsdale, our experienced practitioners specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement protocols tailored to your unique hormonal requirements and health goals. We offer cutting-edge diagnostic testing, innovative treatments, and ongoing monitoring and care to help you achieve optimal hormonal balance and overall wellbeing.
There are many excellent reasons to choose bioidentical over synthetic hormone therapy:
There are several key hormones that may become imbalanced, leading to noticeable effects on your physical and emotional health:
Estrogen is essential for reproductive health, bone strength, heart function, skin elasticity, joint lubrication, mental acuity, emotional stability and more in women. Symptoms of low estrogen include:
Testosterone is crucial for libido, energy, muscle strength, cognitive function, mood stability and more in men. Signs and symptoms of low testosterone ("low T") include:
Imbalances in other key hormones like progesterone, DHEA and thyroid can also cause their own unique sets of symptoms that detract from wellbeing. Our practitioners will help uncover any hormonal deficiencies or excesses through comprehensive testing and evaluation.
The goal of bioidentical hormone replacement is to replenish your body with the precise hormones that have declined with age or imbalance, restoring them to optimal levels. This is achieved through either topical preparations or oral dosing.
At Harmony Hormone Clinic, we take a holistic approach and will make personalized recommendations based on your lab results, symptoms, lifestyle, preferences and treatment goals. Hormones commonly replaced include:
Along with hormone therapy, we also counsel patients on tailored lifestyle modifications to help ensure the best possible treatment outcomes. These may include dietary changes, targeted nutritional supplements, exercise regimens, stress-reduction practices and more.
Comprehensive lab testing is indispensable prior to beginning bioidentical HRT in order to accurately determine your hormone levels and ratios. This provides a baseline to guide proper dosing and hormone selections.
We utilize advanced diagnostics including:
Testing may need to be repeated periodically to ensure hormones remain optimized as dosages are adjusted during the course of treatment. Our practitioners will determine what testing is appropriate.
If you have pre-existing lab results, we request that you share them with us to gain additional insight into your hormonal status. However, new testing is generally needed to provide the detailed information necessary for ideal treatment planning.
Along with directly replacing missing hormones through BHRT, we also help patients optimize various lifestyle and nutritional factors that can improve hormonal balance including:
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide a more natural hormone balance than synthetic hormones, with potentially fewer side effects. Studies show that bioidentical hormones may improve mood, sleep, libido, and cognition in both menopausal women and aging men.

Bioidentical hormones have the exact same molecular structure as your body's own hormones, making them more natural, effective and well-tolerated compared to synthetic or non-human hormones used in traditional hormone replacement therapy.
The doses are individually customized based on each patient's lab test results, current symptoms, health history and treatment goals. Levels are then monitored and adjusted as needed.
They are primarily used to relieve symptoms of hormonal decline related to menopause and andropause (aging). However, they may also help manage other hormone imbalances at any age.
Options include topical creams, gels, vaginal inserts; oral capsules, sublingual drops; pellets implanted under the skin; and injections for some hormones. Together we decide what delivery methods are preferable for you.
Most patients report significant relief from troublesome symptoms, increased energy, improved sleep quality, enhanced mood and sense of wellbeing, and restored sex drive. Positive effects are often felt within weeks.
There are few risks when properly prescribed and monitored by an experienced bioidentical hormone specialist like those at Harmony Hormone Clinic. However, hormones could exacerbate some pre-existing conditions like cancers.
Unfortunately, bioidentical hormone treatments are generally not covered by insurance at this time, as they are considered more alternative medical therapies. Check your individual policy.
