Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, weight gain, insomnia and more. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively relieve these symptoms by restoring hormones to optimal levels.
At Revive Hormone Clinic in Yardley, our highly trained medical staff specialize in BHRT utilizing cutting edge diagnostics and protocols to create customized treatment regimens meeting each patient's unique needs. We understand the profound impact hormones have on overall health and quality of life. Our goal is to help patients feel their best at every age through expert bioidentical hormone therapy.
The main hormones that decline with age are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. Imbalances in these hormones lead to numerous issues. Here are some key points about each hormone:
As these examples illustrate, restoring hormonal balance is essential for sustaining health, quality of life and daily performance.
The good news is bioidentical hormones can target specific deficiencies with remarkable effectiveness when prescribed properly through thorough diagnostic testing and monitoring.
The first step is always a comprehensive physical exam and lab panel analyzing key hormones including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S and cortisol. Saliva and serum blood tests assess how much free active hormone is accessible to cells and causing symptoms.
Diagnosing hormonal imbalance also requires evaluating clinical signs and symptoms. For women, this includes reproductive health history tracking symptoms over stages of the menstrual cycle to determine cyclical versus chronic hormone fluctuations.
For men, androgen deficiency is evaluated through questionnaires rating energy, sexual function, strength and endurance which correspond to testosterone status.
At Revive Hormone Clinic our physicians spend extensive time listening to patients, understanding lifestyles and analyzing all diagnostic data to uncover root causes of imbalance. We determine exactly which hormones require support, why deficits are occurring, and how much restoration is needed for optimal health.
Accurate, integrative diagnosis guides targeted, effective treatment.
The most advanced form of bioidentical hormone therapy is individually tailored prescriptions meeting each patient’s body and life circumstances.
There is no “one size fits all” formula – optimal hormones depend on factors like genetics, diet and stress levels. What perfectly balances one individual may overdose or underdose another.
After comprehensively diagnosing specific deficiencies, our doctors formulate customized prescriptions using dissolvable troches, sublingual drops, topical creams or injectables to restore hormones to prime levels.
We closely monitor progress through follow up exams and lab testing, modifying dosages as needed until deficiency symptoms resolve and patients report feeling their best. The goal is sustaining long term hormonal equilibrium for stellar quality of life.
We also provide nutrition and lifestyle guidance emphasizing whole foods, movement, stress reduction and environmental detox for maximizing hormone health from the inside out. Our integrative solutions heal hormonal dysfunction at its core.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits.
Balancing key hormones generates transformative improvements throughout the body and mind. Patients report life changing enhancement in energy, mental clarity, sexual vitality, emotional stability, sleep quality and more.
Specific benefits include:
In essence, properly balancing hormones with bioidentical therapy yields a phenomenal anti-aging effect enabling people to look and feel their best regardless of chronological age. Treatment pays exponential dividends across all domains of health.
While bioidentical hormones work wonders replacing deficiencies, nurturing production and balance through nutrition and lifestyle pays enormous benefits:

Healthy fats - Avocados, nuts, olive oil, salmon provide essential fatty acids for hormone foundation. Minimize sugar, refined grains and alcohol which disrupt endocrine balance.
Stress moderation – Relaxation practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, forest bathing decrease cortisol, adrenaline and inflammation while enhancing thyroid function. The nearby Yardley Zen Den teaches science-backed techniques for tapping into the relaxation response.
High quality sleep – Allow for 8 hours nightly, ideally 10pm to 6am for best hormone synchronization via circadian rhythms. Limit blue light and digital stimulation after dark. Blackout curtains can optimize melatonin release.
