Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to supplement declining hormone levels. As we age, hormone levels often decline causing uncomfortable symptoms that can negatively impact quality of life. BHRT can help alleviate symptoms of hormone imbalance, allowing patients to feel healthy, energetic, and youthful again.
Horizon Hormone Therapy specializes in customized bioidentical hormone therapy protocols tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our experienced medical providers carefully evaluate hormone levels and symptoms to determine the optimal combination and dosing of bioidentical hormones to help patients look and feel their best. We provide ongoing monitoring and support throughout treatment to ensure safety, efficacy, and positive outcomes.
There are several factors that contribute to falling hormone levels that necessitate bioidentical hormone replacement therapy:
Aging: As part of the natural aging process, hormone production declines over time. This leads to unpleasant symptoms associated with hormone deficiency. Supplementing key hormones can counteract these changes.
Menopause: The transition into menopause causes estrogen and progesterone levels to plummet rapidly. Replenishing these vital hormones alleviates difficult menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.
Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, and autoimmune diseases negatively impact endocrine function. Optimizing hormones improves overall health.
Medications: Many commonly prescribed medications disrupt normal hormone physiology. Birth control pills, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and steroids influence hormone levels. Correcting resulting imbalances enhances wellness.
There are many evidence-based benefits of BHRT for both women and men:

Horizon Hormone Therapy customizes bioidentical hormone regimens to target each woman and man's unique signs and symptoms of hormone decline. We aim to optimize all aspects of health, wellness and quality of life through precision hormone balance.
Identifying and properly diagnosing hormone deficiencies is the critical first step toward successful treatment with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
At Horizon Hormone Therapy, our experienced practitioners utilize advanced medical testing to accurately assess hormone levels and uncover the root causes of concerning symptoms like fatigue, low libido, anxiety, weight gain and sleep disruption. We dig deeper through comprehensive evaluations to get to the bottom of frustrating issues holding patients back from feeling their best.
In addition to a thorough health history and physical examination, we utilize specialized lab testing to measure circulating hormone levels within the body. Our advanced panels provide key insights into endocrine system function and precisely pinpoint imbalances.
We frequently order panels including the following essential hormone markers:
These quantitative lab results coupled with reported symptoms provide the formulation needed to uniquely tailor bioidentical therapy for optimized outcomes.
In addition to abnormal lab testing, Horizon Hormone Therapyians investigate common signs and symptoms associated with hormone disruption:

If experiencing distressing issues like these, Horizon Hormone Therapy can provide answers and solutions through an individualized treatment plan.
After thoroughly evaluating medical history and advanced hormone testing, our practitioners develop a customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy regimen catered to the patient’s unique requirements.
At Horizon Hormone Therapy, we take an integrative approach focused on precision balancing of hormones in harmony with nutrition, lifestyle and mindset modifications for amplified benefits.
We do not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to bioidentical hormone therapy. Our providers listen closely to patient concerns and fine-tune prescriptions accordingly for optimal outcomes.
Prescriptions may include:
The method of delivery, dosage, timing and hormone combinations are adjusted based on the patient’s unique physiology, preference and response to treatment.
Follow-up blood tests are ordered at regular intervals to ensure hormones remain balanced at ideal levels. Adjustments to prescriptions are made in real time based on the latest lab results and symptom reporting.
In addition to bioidentical hormone replacement, Horizon Hormone Therapy provides customized diet, exercise, stress management and supplement recommendations proven to enhance endocrine health.
Key lifestyle optimizations may include:
By integrating both cutting-edge bioidentical hormones and tailored lifestyle changes, Horizon Hormone Therapy helps patients achieve transformative results.
Hormone levels tend to decline slowly over many years often leading patients to overlook emerging symptoms or simply dismiss issues as normal aspects of aging. However, the many adverse effects of hormone imbalance significantly erode health and wellbeing over the long run.
Furthermore, recent research confirms that certain hormone deficiencies directly accelerate aging processes in the body. For example, declining testosterone, estrogen and human growth hormone speed up cellular deterioration.
Optimizing diminished hormones not only alleviates uncomfortable symptoms, but also actively slows aging and extends healthy lifespan. Balanced hormones are essential to gene expression, tissue regeneration, immune function, cardiovascular protection, bone density, strength development, weight management, sexual health and cognitive acuity.
By accurately diagnosing and treating hormone imbalance in the early stages, accelerated aging can be dramatically slowed to enhance active living during our prime years. The regenerative and protective benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement only continue to increase the earlier this therapy is initiated.
At Horizon Hormone Therapy, we make the strong recommendation to clinically investigate any potential hormone-related symptoms in your 40's and 50's. Identifying and addressing subtle imbalances early on provides profoundly amplified health and anti-aging advantages compared to waiting until symptoms evolve into more disruptive health issues later down the road.
We stand firmly behind the preventative value of precise hormone balancing in partnership with positive lifestyle change. Contact us today to take control of your hormone health!
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for treating menopause symptoms. Although marketed as "natural," the body processes bioidentical estradiol the same as synthetic estradiol. More research is needed to compare health outcomes between different hormone therapies.
With so many doctors offering hormone replacement therapy, choosing the right practitioner to entrust your health with long term makes all the difference in the world regarding both safety and results.
