Understanding the most common hormonal concerns can help identify issues early and guide appropriate treatment. Let's examine some key sex hormones, symptoms of imbalance, and how BHRT helps.
Estrogen deficiency often emerges during perimenopause and menopause, as the ovaries produce less estrogen. It manifests through:
Bioidentical estradiol helps replenish estrogen to alleviate symptoms and retain youthfulness.
By age 50, many men exhibit low testosterone. Associated symptoms include:
Testosterone therapy, through gels or injections, effectively reverses deficiencies for improved vitality.
Thyroid and adrenal hormones also frequently become depleted, provoking tiredness, moodiness, and problems losing weight. Harmony MD identifies and addresses imbalances via precise testing and tailored BHRT solutions.
| Hormone | Symptoms of Deficiency | BHRT Options |
|---|---|---|
| Thyroid | Fatigue, sensitivity to cold, constipation, weight gain, hair loss | Bioidentical T3/T4 |
| Adrenal | Fatigue, low stamina, salt/sugar cravings, abnormal cortisol rhythms | DHEA and other adrenal supplements |
Hormone levels can fluctuate daily and vary tremendously between individuals depending on many factors. That's why precise, blood based testing is crucial prior to commencing and throughout BHRT.
At Harmony MD, we stay at the cutting edge of assessment science to pinpoint and track your unique hormone needs over time. Then we craft truly personalized medications and dosage forms via our high-quality compounding lab.
Monitoring also allows for dosage adjustments to optimize your hormone profile as you progress through menopause, andropause or tackle other hormonal concerns. We partner with you on the journey toward peak vitality.

Now that we've covered some fundamentals about hormones and associated deficiencies, let's explore custom BHRT itself and the advantages of this innovative treatment approach.
Bioidentical hormones possess a molecular structure that's identical to the hormones made naturally within the human body. This allows them to bind easily with receptors to promote proper biological functioning.
In contrast, conventional hormone replacement medications often contain synthetic or non-human versions which can produce unpleasant side effects.
For bioidenticals, quality sourcing of the starter materials from plants is also essential for safety and efficacy. That's why we only use the most reputable pharmacies and compounding facilities.
There are multiple effective options for delivering customized bioidentical hormones:
Your Harmony MD doctor determines which method makes the most sense based on factors like diagnosis, dosage needs, convenience and metabolic processing. These modalities can also be combined for full customization.
We continually track the latest approaches to fine-tune administration of bioidentical testosterone, estradiol, DHEA and other hormones for superior patient experiences.
There are many advantages to crafted bioidentical over conventional therapy:
Results span from alleviating hot flashes to restored energy/moods, increased lean muscle, decreased fat storage, and enhanced skin tone. Our patients often describe BHRT as life-changing.
Regular follow up visits allow for continually adjusting of your treatment plan to maximize positive outcomes over months and years while ensuring safety.
Beginning a new BHRT regime is a straightforward process when undertaken with Harmony MD. Here's a high-level overview:
Working closely with your doctor is critical so you understand what to anticipate over the first days and weeks after starting hormones - from transient symptoms like headaches to emerging benefits around energy and sleep. We'll provide all the information plus any needed support supplements for a smooth transition.
Regular testing and follow up allows for keeping your custom formulation ideal as life circumstances change. The key is maintaining youthful levels and balance as you enjoy sustained wellbeing.
As leaders in biologic therapies and diagnostic testing, Harmony MD continually tracks the latest science around precision hormone evaluation and state-of-the-art BHRT approaches.

Tapping into these other innovative diagnostics empowers creating truly personalized therapies for the best possible outcomes.
We offer a continually expanding array of bioidentical hormones to precisely solve deficiencies of estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA and more.
Beyond classic base hormones, specialized agents can target concerns like androgen deficiency, metabolite ratios, downstream cellular functions, genetic polymorphisms and neurosteroids linked with mood, sleep and nerve health.
For women, both classic sequential hormone release as well as continuous-combined estrogen micronized progesterone preparations are available. We also support peri to postmenopausal transitions with compounded bi-estrogen gels.
No other clinics rival the possibilities of Harmony MD designer hormones - matching nutrient needs while mitigating risks.

Nearly all adults over 35 can benefit from precision testing and hormone optimization. Symptoms are not required to tap into anti-aging biologic solutions. We specialize in custom protocols - no two plans are alike.
The molecules used in bioidentical therapy match natural human hormones, avoiding common problems with synthetic or non-bio ones. When properly dosed and monitored via bloodwork, side effects are minimal. Some temporary effects can sometimes occur when first starting.
Most patients observe subtle changes within a few weeks, like improved energy or sleep. Optimal benefits often unfold over 3-6 months as levels build and stabilize. Diet and lifestyle adjustment accelerate outcomes. Tracking progress via symptoms and lab testing is key.
Every patient responds uniquely based on factors we systematically evaluate. Committing to the initial optimization period plus tailored follow-up provides an excellent chance of achieving your therapeutic targets. We offer cutting-edge solutions and unwavering support.
