Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a safe and effective treatment for improving wellness and vitality. Optimize Hormones provides customized bioidentical hormone therapy in London, Alabama, to help patients overcome symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. They are often prescribed when levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline with age.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones:
At Optimize Hormones, our physicians specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones chemically identical to those produced by the ovaries and testes. We customize treatment plans with bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones based on your unique lab results and health goals.
Hormone levels fluctuate naturally throughout life, but imbalance can occur, causing troublesome signs and symptoms.

Men may notice:
Don't ignore bothersome symptoms, assuming they are just a normal part of aging. Our bioidentical hormone doctors at Optimize Hormones offer safe, natural relief!
Bioidentical hormones can benefit both women and men whose bodies fail to produce adequate hormone levels. Candidates for therapy include:
Women - With perimenopause or menopause symptoms - Post-menopause with low hormone levels - Younger women with premature ovarian failure
Men - With andropause (age-related testosterone decline) - Younger with low testosterone
People of any age with: - Chronic stress depleting hormones - Endocrine disorders - Surgery or damage to glands
Healthy lifestyle choices support hormonal balance at any age. But when deficiencies cause disruptive symptoms, our Optimize Hormones doctors can help determine if bioidentical hormone replacement matches your needs.
Customized BHRT restores hormone levels for improved well-being and vitality!
The first step in bioidentical hormone replacement is testing key hormone levels through blood, saliva, or urine analysis. Optimize Hormones physicians use advanced diagnostics to identify deficiencies or imbalances.
Hormones frequently tested before starting therapy include:
Test results are carefully evaluated to determine which hormones are low or not optimally balanced. This information guides customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans.
Follow-up testing occurs periodically to ensure hormones return to ideal levels with treatment. The goal is for patients to feel and function at their personal best!
Optimize Hormones physicians tailor bioidentical hormone therapy to your unique needs and preferences. After assessing current hormone levels, we help determine the most appropriate:
Any combination of bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone may be prescribed, either alone or together.
We also address lifestyle factors for better long-term hormonal balance, including nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction.
| Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Oral capsules | Easy to take | Metabolized through the liver before reaching the bloodstream; may require a higher dose |
| Sublingual | Place tabs or drops under the tongue for rapid absorption | Frequent dosing usually needed; not all hormones available this way |
| Creams or gels | Apply to thin skin (wrists, upper arms); easy adjustment of dose | Potential skin irritation or transfer to others via contact |
| Injections | Direct high absorption with less metabolism | Injections intimidating for some; less flexibility of dosing |
| Pellets | Long-lasting; only needed a few times per year | Minor surgical procedure for insertion/removal |
Optimize Hormones physicians determine through testing and evaluation which delivery method is right for you. Regular follow-up helps ensure optimal results.
If menopause or andropause symptoms are disrupting your quality of life, bioidentical hormone therapy may be the answer. There are compelling reasons not to delay treatment:
Normalizing Key Hormones: Balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels alleviates troublesome signs of hormonal decline to restore well-being.
Reduced Risk of Developing Certain Conditions: Research indicates properly administered bioidentical hormone therapy can decrease vulnerability to osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and more.
Reversing Existing Conditions: In addition to minimizing disease risk, balanced hormones augment treatment for metabolic disorders like high cholesterol or blood sugar.
Enhancing Mental Health: Hormonal deficiencies negatively impact mood and cognitive function. Correcting imbalances helps resolve anxiety, depression, and fuzzy thinking.
Improving Relationships: For both women and men, optimized hormones boost libido and energy for a satisfying love life despite advancing age.
