Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
What is “bio-identical?”
Hormone therapy in general helps men and women relieve symptoms associated with aging and imbalanced hormones. Some studies have suggested hormone therapy helps to:
-
Improve muscle function
-
Reduce the risk of heart failure and heart attack
-
Prevent skin aging
-
Increase Libido
-
Aide in weight loss and more!
Traditional hormone therapy may actually cause an increase cancer risk. Bio-identical is more ideal in the sense that this is made with all naturally occurring elements. It provides the same benefits with fewer risks than traditional hormone therapy and, in most cases, even decrease the risk of long term health problems.

Hormones & Supplements
Balancing hormones is key to feeling your best—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Certain supplements and medications can help support this balance by working with your body’s natural hormone pathways. Here's how some common options play a role:
-
Testosterone
-
Supports strength, energy, and sex drive. When testosterone levels rise, some of it naturally converts into estrogen, which can also raise estrogen levels.
-
-
DIM
-
helps your body break down estrogen in a healthier way, which can keep hormone levels more balanced.
-
-
Progesterone
-
works to balance out estrogen, support mood, and help with sleep and regular cycles.
-
-
DHEA
-
A hormone that helps make other important hormones like testosterone and estrogen, and can boost energy, mood, and libido.
-
-
Anastrozole
-
lowers estrogen levels by blocking the process that turns other hormones into estrogen, which can be helpful if your estrogen is too high.
-
By working together we can help improve energy, mood, and overall well-being by supporting healthier levels of estrogen, testosterone, and other key hormones.
Why Managing Estrogen Matters
While estrogen is an important hormone for both men and women, having too much of it can lead to a variety of unwanted symptoms—like weight gain, mood swings, low energy, and water retention. In men, high estrogen can also lower testosterone, affect libido, and cause issues like gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue). That’s why keeping estrogen in a healthy range is just as important as optimizing testosterone.
At our wellness clinic, we rarely need to prescribe estrogen—especially for men—because it’s usually not necessary when we supplement with testosterone. That’s because testosterone naturally converts into a certain amount of estrogen in the body. In most cases, this conversion provides just the right amount of estrogen without needing to add more.
Instead, we focus on balancing hormones carefully to avoid the side effects of high estrogen, while helping you feel your best with the right support for testosterone and overall wellness.
