Hormones influence energy, mood, sleep, metabolism and more. When levels change with age or health conditions, your provider may recommend hormone therapy based on your symptoms and lab results.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body makes, such as estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone. Compounding allows these to be combined and dosed to match a specific prescription.
Estrogens support bone, skin, temperature regulation and vaginal health. Progesterone balances estrogen's effects on the uterus and may support sleep. Ratios and strengths are set by your provider.
Testosterone matters for both men and women, affecting energy, libido, muscle and mood. Women typically use much smaller doses than men.
The thyroid sets your metabolic pace. Providers may prescribe T4, T3 or combinations in custom strengths when standard doses don't fit.
Doses that commercial products don't offer, so your provider can start low and adjust in small steps.
