Hormone Imbalance Correction
The endocrine system in the human body comprises a group of organs, including the thyroid, pancreas, and ovaries or testes (depending on your gender)—their primary role is to manufacture hormones for healthy body function. Hormones are chemical messengers essential for regulating major bodily processes. They tell the tissues and organs what tasks to perform and when. Hormones help regulate:
- Metabolism
- Body growth and development
- Blood sugar
- Blood pressure
- Reproductive cycle
- Sexual function
- Mood and stress level
- Sleep pattern
Sometimes, an imbalance in the ideal level of hormones may occur, negatively impacting your body and its ability to operate at optimum levels. Therefore, proper hormone balance is vital to eliminate negative symptoms and allow us to enjoy excellent health.
What is hormonal imbalance?
When a body experiences a hormone imbalance, too much or not enough of a specific hormone is produced, triggering symptoms that vary according to the gland affected and your gender.
- Mood swings
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Infertility
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Low libido
- Insomnia
- Brittle bones
- Excessive hair growth
- Skin rashes
- Unexplained weight loss or gain
- Abdominal or back pain during menstruation
- Painful intercourse
- Muscle mass loss
- Hair loss
What symptoms are present in men?
The majority of men experience low testosterone levels, and they are likely to experience the following symptoms:
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Loss of muscle mass
- Hair loss
- Chest tenderness
- Negative cognitive sharpness
What are the top causes of hormonal imbalance?
Everyone is likely to experience natural periods of hormonal fluctuations at a particular point. The problem can significantly affect your ability to operate clearly when the condition persists, and the endocrine glands stop functioning correctly. Among the many causes of poor endocrine gland function are:
Medical conditions such as Cushing syndrome, hyperglycemia, pituitary tumors, solitary thyroid nodules, acromegaly, hypoglycemia, Addison’s disease, diabetes, goiters, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism, among others.
- Lifestyle habits
- Environmental factors
- Chronic stress
- Hormonal replacement
- Birth control medication
- Misuse of anabolic steroid medication
- Obesity
- Poor nutrition and diet
- Exposure to pollutants, toxins, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides
Women are more likely to develop hormonal imbalance disorders than men because of different endocrine cycles and organs. For example, hormonal imbalance in women may be triggered by primary ovarian insufficiency and polycystic ovary syndrome.
No matter the cause, treatment for hormonal imbalance is vital to ensure a high quality of life and normal body function.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are manufactured from plant estrogens. These plant-derived hormones meet the specific hormonal needs of the body. They have the same chemical and molecular structure as the hormones found naturally in the human body.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is effective for both women and men. Bioidentical hormones are proven to play a pivotal role in preserving the health and well-being of patients.
Additionally, as the molecular structure of these hormones mimics natural hormones, the body responds to them positively, and there are rarely any side effects.
Bioidentical Hormones vs. Synthetic Hormones
Bioidentical hormones are biologically identical hormones found in the body and are manufactured from plant sources. However, synthetic hormones are artificial chemical compounds. Hence, they are not biologically identical, so the body reacts to them differently. There is a potential for adverse side effects like heart disease, blood clotting, and breast cancer.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormones are safe and effective for hormone imbalance correction. They can address a wide range of ailments triggered by hormonal deficiencies like:
- Depression
- Low Libido
- Hair loss/thinning
- Weight fluctuation
- Insomnia
- Insulin resistance
- Mood swings
- Symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats)
Bioidentical hormones are available in pills, creams, injectables, pellets, troches, and suppositories. The ideal treatment protocol and delivery mechanism will be crafted after a comprehensive diagnosis and thorough review of the history and physical aspects of the patient and the symptoms identified.
Once the therapy begins, our medical team may call you for frequent checkups to monitor and adjust the dose to achieve optimal health and hormonal balance to help you enjoy life.
