What are the symptoms of hormonal imbalance?
From irritability to insomnia to low sex drive, the symptoms of hormone imbalance can range from bothersome to downright distressing.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and can it help me?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a form of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. As hormone levels decrease with age, BHRT supplements the hormones your body is producing less of. Research shows, for the right individuals, BHRT is the best hormone replacement therapy because it’s the safest and most effective way to restore hormonal balance.
BHRT is a highly individualized treatment, and it is crucial to speak to a qualified healthcare provider to determine if it is right for you.
Types of hormone therapy
Hormones can be replaced in many ways: cream, spray, patch, pill, shot, troche, or pellet therapy. Each type of hormone replacement therapy has its own benefits and potential side effects, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine which type is best for you.
Pellet therapy with nutraceuticals is the preferred choice by physicians because it is the safest and most effective hormone replacement therapy. Nutraceuticals are important supplements in HRT treatment because they optimize hormone absorption, while reducing potential side effects.

Benefits of hormone replacement therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help reduce the symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and irratability. It can also relieve symptoms of menopause in women and andropause in men, such as low libido and fatigue.

How do I know if I have a hormone imbalance?
To know if you have a hormone imbalance, we start by looking out for the following symptoms:
- Fatigue and weakness
- Weight gain or loss
- Changes in skin and hair
- Mood swings and irritability
- Depression and anxiety
- Low sex drive
- Infertility
- Insomnia
- Hot flashes and night sweats
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s recommended that you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. When you visit Hormone Clinic, we can run a full diagnosis and observe your medical history while measuring the current hormone levels in your body to understand if you are suffering from hormonal imbalance.
What are the side effects of hormone replacement therapy with pellet?
Most common side effects of pellet HRT are mild and include temporary soreness at the insertion site, breast tenderness, acne, and increased hair growth. In rare cases, more severe side effects can occur, including increased red blood cells, insertion site infection, and pellet extrusion. Speaking to a healthcare provider to discuss BHRT’s potential risks and benefits is essential.
Can hormone imbalance cause anxiety?
Yes, hormone imbalances can cause anxiety. Hormones play a significant role in regulating mood and emotions, and an imbalance can disrupt this balance and lead to symptoms of anxiety. For example, an overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones can cause anxiety, as can imbalances of estrogen and testosterone. Additionally, changes in cortisol levels due to stress can also contribute to anxiety symptoms.
It’s important to consult a doctor if you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, as they can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment options.
How does bioidentical hormone replacement therapy work?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is used to replace hormones that have declined due to aging or other factors, such as menopause in women and andropause in men. The hormones can be administered in various forms, including pills, creams, gels, or pellets, and the goal is to restore the balance of hormones to alleviate symptoms related to the hormonal imbalance.
How do you diagnose hormone issues?
At the Hormone Clinic, we strive for optimal results by addressing the causes behind diseases while managing the symptoms. We start with a screening questionnaire to identify symptomatic patients, followed by a set of laboratory blood tests. These tests help us assess the levels of various hormones, complete blood counts, comprehensive metabolic panels, and complete thyroid function panel. They also measure the levels of electrolytes, Vit D, Vit B12, PSA, FSH, thyroid peroxidase antibody, liver, gall bladder, and kidney functions. Based on the laboratory test results and patient consultation, the physician will make diagnosis and formulate the personalized treatment plan to restore patient’s hormonal balance. Any identified underlying disease will also be addressed and or treated as needed.
How long does it take for bioidentical hormones to work?
It’s possible to successfully balance your hormone levels to the desired level in 4 week, which can be easily verified by a blood test. The amount of time it takes for bioidentical hormones to improve your body function can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s specific health condition, age, and compliance.
As few as two subcutaneous pellet insertion procedures per year can effectively balance the levels of hormones in your body, and up to 95% of patients who visit Hormone Clinic experience relief from hormone issues in as little as 4-6 weeks.
