Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions helps restore optimal levels, thereby reducing symptoms and promoting better health.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) from Balance Health Clinic in Burlington offers customized treatment plans using hormones chemically identical to those your body makes. Read on to learn the basics of BHRT and why it may be right for you.
Declining hormone levels affect people differently, but some common deficiency signs include:
Catching and addressing hormonal imbalances early provides the best chance of finding relief through BHRT. Our experienced bioidentical hormone specialist staff at Balance Health Clinic can evaluate your labs and symptoms to determine if BHRT is appropriate.

Balancing hormones through replacement therapy seems complicated but our knowledgeable staff simplifies the process. We work closely with each patient to provide safe, effective relief.

Left unchecked, declining hormones can undermine one’s quality of life significantly. Symptoms tend to worsen over time and new ones may appear if deficiencies persist.
Additionally, hormones act synergistically so imbalances can create cascading effects. For example, low testosterone corresponds with higher estrogen levels in men, possibly enlarging the prostate.
Starting hormone replacement promptly better controls symptoms before they escalate and disrupt work, home life, and relationships. It also helps support long-term health. Our goal is restoring patients' well-being as quickly as possible.
