Many individuals experience a decline in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and more as they age. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, irritability, and more in both men and women.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can safely and effectively alleviate these issues when administered by a trained hormone specialist. BHRT provides individually tailored hormones made to match your body’s natural hormones. This differs from traditional synthetic hormone replacement options.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in North Salt Lake, our endocrinology and hormone therapy experts can run advanced tests to check your hormone levels and determine if BHRT is right for you. We then develop customized plans with bioidentical hormones made to fit your individual hormonal needs.
The first step is diagnosing any hormone deficiencies through bloodwork and medical assessments. We analyze key hormone levels like:
Based on your symptoms and test results, our endocrinologists can identify areas of hormone imbalance. Common causes include:
Once a hormone deficiency is identified, bioidentical hormone therapy offers immense benefits for both men and women:
Balancing hormones alleviates unpleasant symptoms stemming from menopause, andropause and other issues like:
By customizing hormones to fit individuals’ needs, most patients see drastic improvements across all bothersome symptoms.
Hormone optimization also supports overall wellbeing in vital areas like:
BHRT is extremely safe when expertly formulated and monitored by a trained endocrinologist. The hormones match the body's naturally occurring hormones so side effects are minimal compared to synthetic options. Our clinicians follow advanced protocols to ensure each treatment plan is highly individualized and effective.
To determine if our BHRT programs may help alleviate your symptoms, we conduct several assessments:
Lab work checks baseline sex and adrenal hormone levels related to estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. This shows us where any deficiencies exist. Ongoing blood tests also monitor patient progress once therapy begins.
A hormone specialist will conduct exams checking for symptoms related to hormone imbalance like skin/hair changes, heart rate/blood pressure abnormalities or temperature regulation issues.
We will extensively discuss all symptoms prompted by hormone decline like sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, emotional instability, menstruation irregularities and more in men and women. This charts the severity of your issues to tailor individual treatment plans.
Your clinician will review your full medical history, pre-existing conditions, family background, previous hormone lab results, use of synthetic hormone drugs, surgeries tied to reproductive organs and much more to assess candidacy.
Based on these assessments, we craft customized plans using bioidentical hormones matched to your body’s natural hormones and structured around your lifestyle for optimal restoration of balance, health and wellbeing.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Despite being chemically identical, there is still uncertainty about whether they actually have advantages over conventional therapy in terms of safety and efficacy.
We provide complete care including advanced testing, customized treatment plans, high quality compounded bioidentical hormones, and careful medical oversight from initial assessment through long-term maintenance of hormone health.
After your candidacy is confirmed through diagnostic bloodwork and medical evaluations, you'll have an extensive consultation going over all imbalances, symptoms and side effects in depth to create a tailored hormone optimization plan.
Our compounding pharmacy makes customized bioidentical hormone treatments meeting your body’s precise needs. Prescriptions include estrogen, progesterone and testosterone replacement creams, pills or injections matching their natural analogs.
We regularly monitor patients with follow up bloodwork and consults assessing symptoms and side effects at key intervals to ensure hormones are balancing safely and effectively with dosage adjustments as needed.
When hormone levels fully stabilize, patients shift into a maintenance phase with annual blood tests, symptom checks and dosage tweaks allowing us to sustain long term hormone balance safely.
We also provide therapies addressing needs beyond sex hormone restoration like thyroid hormone optimization, adrenal support and growth hormone plans further enhancing wellness.
Our goal is restoring patients to full health by meeting all their unique hormone requirements. We support men and women through convenient appointments, telehealth options, high touch care coordination and compassionate listening.
We advise certain lifestyle shifts and local North Salt Lake establishments that can further support HRT and improve wellbeing like:
Regular exercise with both cardio and muscle/bone building activity enhances hormone function and helps manage weight/metabolic issues prompted by declining hormones. Nearby centers like VASA Fitness, Genesis Health Clubs and the Lifetime Fitness offer excellent equipment and classes. The area also boasts scenic areas for outdoor activities.
An anti-inflammatory diet high in produce, lean proteins and healthy fats regulates hormones naturally. Nutritional counseling may help optimize eating habits. Quality grocery stores like Whole Foods, Harmons, Smiths and Maceys provide excellent organic and unprocessed options.
High chronic stress disrupts hormones so mindfulness habits like yoga, meditation and massage therapy can add big benefits alongside replacement therapy. Venues such as Awaken Yoga & Meditation, Still Life Massage and the Avalon Health and Wellness Spa offer healing services.
Combining sensible lifestyle measures with our expert hormone balancing enables patients to regain optimal function on all levels. We look forward to helping our community restore their vitality safely and naturally.
