Bio identical Hormones Arlington Heights, IL - Rejuvenate HRT Clinic

Introduction to Bio Identical Hormones

Bio identical hormones are man-made hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally in the human body. They can be custom-compounded in pharmacies to match an individual's hormone needs. Bio identical hormone therapy may help relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance and decline that occur with aging or due to medical conditions.

Some key points about bio identical hormones:

• They are derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to human hormones
• Dosing can be precisely customized and adjusted as needed
• Used to supplement low hormone levels that occur with age or other causes
• May help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, low libido, etc.
• Considered a more natural option than traditional hormone replacement therapy

At Rejuvenate HRT Clinic, our physicians specialize in customized bio identical hormone therapy to help patients achieve optimal hormone balance. We provide cutting-edge testing, treatment plans, and continuing care.

Assessing Hormone Levels

The first step in bio identical hormone therapy is assessing a patient's hormone levels through blood, saliva, or urine tests.

Some key hormones that may be tested include:

• Estrogen - influences female sexual development and function
• Progesterone - regulates the menstrual cycle and pregnancy
• Testosterone - impacts sex drive, muscle mass, bone density in both men and women
• DHEA - precursor to estrogen and testosterone
• Thyroid - regulates metabolism and energy levels

Based on test results, our physicians can identify hormone imbalances and determine if bio identical hormones could help alleviate troublesome symptoms.

Why test hormone levels?

• Gain insights into the underlying cause of symptoms
• Establish a baseline to adjust and monitor treatment
• Screen for risks like osteoporosis or heart disease
• Personalize treatment to your unique hormonal profile

Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance	Associated Hormones to Test
Hot flashes, night sweats	Estrogen, progesterone
Unexplained weight gain	Cortisol, thyroid, estrogen
Loss of muscle mass	Testosterone, DHEA
Low libido	Testosterone, estrogen, thyroid
Fatigue, low energy	Thyroid, testosterone, DHEA
