Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have an identical chemical structure to those produced naturally by the human body. They are used to supplement hormone levels that decline with age or due to medical conditions. Bioidentical hormones can be customized based on each patient's needs through specialized hormone testing.
At the Harmonize Care, we provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help both men and women affected by hormone imbalance regain optimal health, vitality, and quality of life.
Our endocrinologists specialize in prescribing custom-compounded BHRT, consisting of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones matched to your body's deficient levels. We use the latest medical research to design treatment plans catered to your unique physiology and health goals.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the human body, unlike synthetic versions. This allows receptor sites in the cells to recognize and receive the bioidentical hormones as normal.
As a result, bioidentical hormones interact with the body at a cellular level in a far more natural way. This can lead to better absorption rates and metabolic effects closer to optimal functioning.
Studies have shown bioidentical hormone replacement positively impacts physiological processes because the body recognizes these hormones as chemically equivalent to endogenous hormones.
Our specialists at the Harmonize Care leverage these advantages to provide patients with greater safety and efficacy from treatment. We help restore hormonal balance and relieve unpleasant menopause or andropause symptoms caused by deficits.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones:
Table comparing differences between bioidentical hormones and their synthetic versions:
| Bioidentical | Synthetic |
|---|---|
| Chemically identical to human hormones | Molecular structure different from human hormones |
| Recognized as natural by the body | Often experienced as foreign by the body |
| Mimics natural fluctuations | Creates constant artificially high levels |
| Fewer side effects reported | Can cause side effects like fatigue, fluid retention |
The first step to receiving bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) is getting properly diagnosed by a specialist.
Our clinic offers comprehensive hormone testing to precisely identify any imbalances or deficiencies tied to symptoms. Deficiencies can be due to aging, menopause, andropause, stress levels, medical conditions, and more influencing factors.
We evaluate important hormone levels, including:
Based on test results and evaluating symptoms, our bioidentical hormone doctors can determine which hormones require supplementation, at what levels, and through which delivery methods.
We also take into account your health history, risk factors, lifestyle, and preferences to design fully customized bioidentical hormone therapy regimens.
At the Harmonize Care, we emphasize the importance of proper testing and medical supervision to obtain patient safety and positive treatment outcomes. Contact us to schedule an assessment.

At the Harmonize Care, we provide fully customized plans leveraging the latest advancements in BHRT delivery methods for optimal restoration of hormonal balance from the inside out.
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone orchestrate major processes in the body that impact overall health and well-being. When certain hormones decline or become imbalanced, this can result in unpleasant symptoms and increased risks.
For women, plummeting estrogen and progesterone levels associated with perimenopause and menopause can lead to:
Likewise, for men, declining testosterone due to aging or health conditions can create:
