Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help both men and women find relief from unpleasant symptoms caused by hormone imbalance. It involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to restore optimal levels. Renew Clinic specializes in customized bioidentical hormone therapy plans to help patients look and feel their best.
Bioidentical hormones are exactly the same on a molecular level as the hormones produced in the human body. This allows them to bind perfectly with existing hormone receptors and be utilized just as the body's innate hormones would.
Some key advantages of bioidentical over synthetic hormone therapy include:
Imbalances in key hormones can lead to a wide array of unpleasant symptoms. Here are some common signs of hormone deficiency:
Timely treatment is crucial for relieving symptoms of hormone imbalance and regaining optimal wellness. The specialized physicians at Renew Clinic can accurately evaluate hormone levels and provide customized bioidentical hormone therapy to help patients feel their best again.
Detecting a hormone deficiency begins with blood tests to evaluate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, and more. Reference ranges help determine optimal levels, but there are many factors that influence an individual's ideal hormone balance.
That's why the practitioners at Renew Clinic bioidentical hormone clinic not only look at lab test results, but also carefully evaluate symptoms and medical history for insights into what customized treatment plan will provide the greatest benefits.
Restoring hormone balance through bioidentical hormone replacement helps adults regain wellness in many aspects:
Physical Benefits
Mental/Emotional Benefits
Long-Term Health Benefits
Quality of Life Benefits

Michael was frustrated with feeling constantly exhausted no matter how much he slept. His libido had tanked, and he'd lost muscle tone despite dedicated gym time. After blood tests revealed low testosterone, his primary doctor prescribed a standard synthetic therapy.
The treatment helped a bit, but he continued struggling with symptoms and side effects like acne and mood swings. A friend suggested he get evaluated at Renew Clinic.
Their physicians ran specialized tests to precisely assess Michael's hormone balance. They discovered his ratio of testosterone to estrogen was off. Based on these insights, they custom created a bioidentical hormone regimen specifically tailored to Michael's needs.
Within 2 months, Michael felt better than he had in years. His energy increased substantially, allowing him to work out vigorously and excel at his job again. His sex drive improved dramatically. Mental fog lifted. And with his hormone levels properly balanced, annoying side effects Michael had previously experienced on synthetic hormones disappeared. "I feel like myself again thanks to bioidentical hormone therapy," Michael said. "I should have come to Renew Clinic years ago."
