Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Tolleson, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help both men and women find relief from troublesome symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. Read on to learn more about how BHRT can help you feel your best.
Hormone levels that are too high or too low can negatively impact quality of life. There are several potential causes of hormonal imbalances:
As women approach perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels decline rapidly. Low hormone levels lead to hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, anxiety, fatigue, and more bothersome menopausal symptoms.
Andropause, or male menopause, occurs when testosterone levels drop due to aging. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, irritability, and depression.
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism, causing weight gain, constipation, cold sensitivity, dry skin, and thinning hair. An overactive thyroid speeds up metabolism leading to unexplained weight loss, rapid heartbeat, nervousness, and tremors.
Chronic stress raises cortisol and lowers reproductive hormones. High cortisol leads to sleep troubles, anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, and reduced immunity.
Bioidentical hormone therapy provides an array of benefits when hormones are restored to optimal levels:
BHRT alleviates unpleasant menopausal and andropausal symptoms for enhanced quality of life. It also resolves thyroid-related issues.
Balanced hormone levels lifts mood and can treat anxiety and depression. Optimal hormones enhance mental health and well-being.
Proper estrogen levels support heart health, bone density, skin collagen, and cognition in aging adults. Testosterone offers cardioprotective effects in men.
Hormones influence sleep cycles and duration. BHRT often leads to improved sleep quality and vitality upon waking.
Cortisol and estrogen impact fat storage and distribution. BHRT helps regulate healthy body composition for many individuals.
Both men and women experience improved libido and sexual satisfaction from normalized testosterone and estrogen.
The first step is diagnostic testing to pinpoint where hormone levels are unbalanced. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic we use advanced dysfunctional hormone panels plus evaluate symptoms and health history. Custom therapeutic BHRT is then prescribed to restore hormone balance.
Accurate hormone testing is crucial for developing an individualized treatment plan. We use advanced LC/MS/MS analysis for precision results. Recommended labs include:
"One-size-fits-all" medicine does not apply to hormonal balance. Based on symptoms and testing, we create a personalized plan. Bioidentical hormones including estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormone, DHEA, melatonin, and others may be prescribed.
There are several delivery methods to restore hormones depending on individual factors:
Follow-up testing is conducted periodically to ensure optimal hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term. Lifestyle adjustments are also recommended for best results.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. Some studies suggest they may provide superior symptom relief with fewer side effects, though more research is still needed to confirm benefits over traditional hormone therapy.

Dr. Pat Jones focuses on female patients and reproductive hormones. Dr. Lee Smith specializes in andropause and low testosterone. Both stress preventive health through hormonal balance. Our nurses, medical assistants, lab technicians, and support staff all contribute high quality care.
Ignoring hormonal dysfunction allows symptoms to spiral and health to decline. Restoring balance early provides the best results. Consider treatment if you have:
Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disruption, or sadness are not normal. BHRT can help women enjoy life again.
Depression, erectile dysfunction, diminishing muscle mass, low energy, weight gain, or loss of confidence should be addressed. Testosterone therapy may resolve these concerns.
Unaddressed hypothyroid and hyperthyroid conditions raise risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. Thyroid hormone replacement helps minimize complications.
