Hormones are essential chemicals that regulate critical bodily functions and maintain good health. However, as we age or due to medical conditions, we may experience a hormonal imbalance leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief.
At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center in Phoenix, our physicians specialize in BHRT using hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body to restore optimal hormonal balance. We create customized treatment plans to address each patient's unique needs.
Aging - hormone production declines Medical conditions - diabetes, thyroid disorders, etc. Menopause and perimenopause Testosterone deficiency High stress lifestyles
Depending on which hormones are deficient, possible symptoms include:
If experiencing these issues, BHRT may help significantly. Our practitioners will conduct diagnostic tests to pinpoint where hormonal imbalances exist before developing customized treatment plans.
Bioidentical means the hormones have a chemical structure identical to those naturally produced by the body. At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, we use FDA-approved BHRT to replenish deficient hormone levels, helping patients find relief.
Synthetic hormones often fail to match natural hormones exactly. As the body may not recognize or fully utilize synthetics, this can limit effectiveness and lead to unwanted side effects.
Bioidentical hormones integrate seamlessly with existing endocrine system processes. Made from plant sources, these natural hormones help restore optimal function, reduce deficiency symptoms, and promote well-being.

Understanding precisely which hormones are imbalanced or depleted allows creating truly customized treatments.
After receiving test results, our practitioners schedule a comprehensive consultation going over findings and collaboratively developing a tailored bioidentical hormone therapy plan.
We account for the patient's unique health history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals when determining optimal hormone dosage forms and schedules. Plans evolve over time to fit changing needs.
Hormone therapy does not end after leaving our office with a prescription. We schedule regular follow-ups to evaluate progress, check lab results, and introduce dosage or delivery method modifications if necessary.
Our team cares about each patient's well-being and satisfaction. We work closely with them throughout treatment until desired outcomes are achieved.

"Bioidentical hormones are often promoted as a more natural alternative to synthetic hormones for menopausal women. However, research has found that the risks and benefits of bioidenticals are largely similar to those of FDA-approved synthetic hormones, contrary to some claims that bioidenticals are safer or more effective."
Proper hormone balance lays the foundation for wellness. However, diet, exercise, stress reduction and other lifestyle factors also play key roles.
We educate patients on adopting habits proven to enhance BHRT results and sustain improved health long-term.
