Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are biologically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. At Balance Health Clinic hormone clinic in Calgary, we specialize in custom bioidentical hormones compounding to help patients who have a hormone deficiency.
Bioidentical hormones provide many key advantages over synthetic hormones:
When we administer customized bioidentical hormones, we essentially give your body back the building blocks it is missing. This helps your glands produce higher hormone levels to eliminate deficiency symptoms and restore optimal balance.
At Balance Health Clinic, our doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones can provide customized treatment plans with bioidentical versions of key hormones including:
We offer bioidentical hormone therapy for both men and women to help relieve deficiency symptoms.
Imbalances in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA and others can cause wide-ranging symptoms. At Balance Health Clinic in Calgary, our bioidentical hormone dr can provide advanced testing and customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans to help relieve deficiency symptoms.
Some symptoms of hormone deficiency in both men and women may include:
Reasons you may develop a hormone deficiency include:
While some deficiency symptoms may seem minor, prolonged imbalances can significantly impact your quality of life. They are also linked with conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease and stroke.
Getting advanced hormone testing and starting bioidentical hormone replacement treatment can help restore optimal balance. The customized protocols address the root cause of symptoms to help you regain health.
At Balance Health Clinic in Calgary, you can get confidential testing and effective treatment plans from our specialized doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones.
If you suspect hormonal imbalance or have deficiency symptoms, the bioidentical hormone replacement process at Balance Health Clinic in Calgary involves three key steps:
During a consultation with our bioidentical hormone dr, we will review your symptoms, medical history, and risk factors. We may order blood tests, saliva tests or urine tests to measure your hormone levels for conditions like low testosterone, estrogen dominance, low thyroid function, and adrenal fatigue.
Based on your test results and needs, our clinicians will develop a customized bioidentical hormone treatment plan. This involves using a bioidentical hormone compounding pharmacy to prepare treatments like gels, creams, drops, troches or capsules in the optimal doses and ratios.
During follow-up visits after starting treatment, we will monitor your response and adjust the dosages and delivery methods if needed to help you achieve improved hormone balance and relief from deficiency symptoms.
There are many benefits to pursuing bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) at our clinic in Calgary. These include:
Our doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones have advanced certifications like BHRT and have years of experience using these therapies to treat conditions like menopause, andropause, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue. We develop customized treatment plans based not just labwork, but also symptoms and other metrics.
We utilize advanced saliva, blood, urine and microbiome tests to evaluate hormone status, identify deficiencies, and tailor bioidentical regimens. These include DUTCH, GI-MAP, organic acids and micronutrient testing.
In addition to replacement therapy, our clinicians can provide customized diet, exercise, stress management and supplement recommendations that support hormone health. We take an integrative approach.
We educate patients throughout the process so you understand hormone balance concepts, your treatment plan, expected outcomes, and how to make sustainable lifestyle changes for lasting results.
With our Calgary location, personalized service, extended hours and ability to order treatments from our hormone compounding pharmacy, we offer exceptional convenience alongside our expertise.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are custom-made to match a woman's hormonal profile and have the same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Early research indicates that this customized approach may help reduce menopausal symptoms, though more studies are still needed to confirm long-term safety and effectiveness.
In addition to bioidentical hormone replacement provided by our doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones at Balance Health Clinic clinic in Calgary, we also offer patients specialized recommendations regarding lifestyle, nutrition, movement and mental health to support treatment:
The sunny and temperate summer season in Calgary with long daylight hours is an optimal time for those beginning hormone therapy to take full advantage. The winter season with harsh weather, shorter days and seasonal affective disorder can exacerbate hormone imbalance.
Calgary offers many community events, walking trails, yoga studios like Divine Soul Yoga, and spas like Kana Wellness that are ideal to reduce stress and meet people while undergoing hormone replacement. This also supports mental health.
Patients beginning bioidentical hormone therapy will achieve maximum results by also adopting consistent movement protocols. Excellent gyms and recreation centers to support this include Repsol Sport Centre, Talus Dome, and The Glencoe Club.
A balanced diet rich in nutritient-dense foods can aid hormone health. Junction Restaurant in Inglewood, The Coup in Mission District, and The Nash Restaurant in downtown offer delicious healthy fare. Those struggling with gastrointestinal issues or food sensitivity that disrupt hormone health can also access testing at Balance Health Clinic.
At Balance Health Clinic in Calgary, our specialized doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones develop fully customized treatment plans featuring bioidentical hormone replacement to relieve deficiency symptoms, restore balance, enhance wellbeing, amplify vitality, eliminate disease risk factors and improve your overall health.
