What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Hormones control a number of aspects of your overall wellness, including your mood and libido. Imbalanced hormones could occur in anyone, whether from the effects of stress, natural aging, or childbirth. Hormonal imbalances typically result in issues, including fatigue, moods, difficulty sleeping, and gaining weight. At Optimized Wellness, we administer bioidentical hormone therapy to adjust your hormone levels and allow you to receive improvements in your energy, sexual performance, and mental acuity. Contact our practice in Centennial, CO to schedule a consultation with nurse practitioner Amy Maron-Martinez.
How Does Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Work?
Following a thorough discussion and exam with Amy, your custom hormone therapy plan will be created. To begin your treatment, blood work and additional diagnostic tests will be performed to analyze your existing hormone levels. This will help us figure out the amount and type of therapy that may be best for you, in addition to the hormones that are imbalanced. The hormones utilized are chemically identical to the body's natural hormones. Bioidentical hormones are often prescribed as either small pellets that are placed beneath the dermal layers (pellet therapy) or a topical cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to notice the effects of bioidentical hormone therapy?
The timeframe to notice the effects of bioidentical hormone therapy can vary greatly depending on the individual and the specific symptoms being treated. Some people start to feel improvements within a few weeks, especially in terms of energy levels and mood stabilization. For others, it may take a few months before they experience significant changes, especially for symptoms like weight management or bone density improvements. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly during this time, as adjustments to dosage or form might be needed to achieve the best results.
How often do I need to have my hormone levels tested during therapy?
Monitoring your hormone levels is a crucial part of bioidentical hormone therapy to ensure that you are receiving the optimal dosage. Typically, hormone levels are tested every three to six months, depending on your response to treatment and any symptoms you are experiencing. During the initial stages of therapy, testing might be more frequent to allow for careful adjustments. These tests will help your healthcare provider determine whether the hormones are balanced and if your treatment plan needs any modifications to improve its effectiveness.
Can bioidentical hormone therapy be used long-term?
Bioidentical hormone therapy can be used long-term, but this decision should be carefully considered with your healthcare provider. The long-term use of hormone therapy can provide ongoing symptom relief and protect against conditions like osteoporosis. However, it's important to regularly evaluate whether continuing therapy is appropriate, as the risks and benefits can change with age and health status. Some individuals may find that they can reduce or stop therapy after achieving sufficient symptom control, while others may benefit from extended use under close supervision.
