Hormone levels naturally decline with age, leading to undesirable symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels to promote better health and wellbeing.

They are synthesized from plant sources and tailored to match your individual hormone needs through compounding. Bioidentical hormones interact with your body just like your innate hormones, providing a more natural option than synthetic hormone replacement.

Healthy individuals can also pursue bioidentical hormones for wellness and anti-aging benefits.
Beginning hormone replacement therapy starts with testing your hormone levels through blood, saliva, or urine tests. This establishes your unique hormone profile as a baseline.
We will evaluate your lab results along with your symptoms and medical history. If hormone imbalances are present, we will discuss treatment options and make recommendations.
Once you decide to pursue bioidentical hormones, we will tailor your treatment plan based on your needs, goals, and lab work. Follow-up testing will be scheduled to monitor your hormone levels and make any necessary adjustments.
Most patients notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks. Maximum benefits are typically observed after three months of optimized hormone therapy.

Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to your body's natural hormones. They are better recognized by hormone receptors, reducing side effects. Bioidenticals work holistically with your physiology for more benefits.
The FDA approves hormones, but not the "bioidentical" method of custom compounding. Our hormone preparations are mixed in an FDA-registered compounding pharmacy under proper regulations. Our providers use bioidenticals extensively in practice due to their safety and efficacy.
Most patients report improvements in symptoms within 1-2 weeks. Optimal benefits are typically seen after 2-3 months of therapy as hormone levels stabilize. We monitor your progress and make dosage adjustments to help you feel your best.
Transdermal creams or gels that absorb through the skin are the preferred administration route. This mimics the body's natural delivery mechanism for a more physiologic effect. Other options include oral pills, sublingual drops, pellets, patches, and injections.
We recommend retesting your levels after 3 months of therapy, and then every 4-6 months thereafter. Testing is essential to monitor your levels and make dosage adjustments when necessary. Your individual needs will determine optimal testing frequency.
We strive to provide the safest, most effective bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help you look and feel your best. Balancing your hormones can profoundly impact your health, vitality, and quality of life. Contact Harmony Hormone Clinic in Huntsville today to learn more and take charge of your hormone health.
