Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help both men and women find relief from unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance and decline. Read on to learn the basics of bioidentical hormones, common deficiency signs and benefits of treatment, procedures, and why the Vitality Hormone Clinic clinic is a top choice in Cincinnati for customized care.
"Bioidentical" means the molecular structure of these hormones matches endogenous human hormones. They are often prescribed to counteract age-related depletion and imbalance of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, melatonin, and growth hormone.
Both men and women can benefit. Various protocols are utilized depending on lab work, medical history, symptoms, age, and goals. Treatment plans are fully personalized for optimal safety and results.
Benefits span relieving unpleasant menopause or andropause symptoms, regaining youthful energy levels, supporting heart and bone health, improving sleep, strength, endurance and mental clarity, enhancing libido/sexual health, emotional wellbeing, and more.

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. More research is needed to determine if there are any differences in their risks and benefits.
In addition to the custom medical protocols we provide, making smart lifestyle choices can profoundly amplify your results. Here are practical tips:
Nutrition: An anti-inflammatory diet rich in produce, plant fats, clean proteins, fiber stabilizes hormones. We suggest meals from Primal Kitchen, REMAIN Fitness Cafe or DEANS Community Diner.
Exercise: Mix cardio, weights and HIIT 30-60 minutes most days. Awaken Athletic or Cincinnati Sports Clubs offer great options.
Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hour nightly. Blackout curtains, blue light blocking glasses, magnesium and melatonin improve sleep quality.
Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, massage therapy, laughing and nature walks counter stress hormones like cortisol that disrupt balance. We love Dragonfly Hot Yoga and Massage Envy.
