Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (bioidentical hormone, bio identical hormone replacement) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to supplement declining hormone levels. This can provide relief from unpleasant symptoms and long-term health risks associated with hormone imbalance and deficiency.
As we age or go through menopause or andropause, hormone levels drop, leading to issues like hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, fatigue, trouble sleeping, weight gain, reduced libido, and loss of muscle mass. Restoring optimal hormone levels through bioidentical hormone replacement under the supervision of a trained bioidentical hormone specialist can help alleviate symptoms and promote overall wellbeing.
Timely diagnosis and treatment of hormone imbalance is crucial for supporting health, quality of life and avoiding long-term issues like heart disease and osteoporosis. Elite Hormone Therapy offers cutting-edge testing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Comprehensive diagnosis through laboratory blood tests and analysis by our expert bioidentical hormones doctors is the first step in bioidentical HRT. We use advanced testing to evaluate levels of key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, cortisol and more and identify any imbalances or deficiencies.
Understanding your hormone profile enables our practitioners to create a customized treatment plan just for you. We repeat lab testing at regular intervals throughout treatment to ensure optimal hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking, so claims of superior safety and efficacy often rely more on ideology than evidence.
