What is bioidentical hormone replacement?

Bioidentical hormone replacement is a treatment for those experiencing a decrease in blood hormone levels. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through your bloodstream, transmitting valuable information between cells and organs to direct metabolism, mood, energy, and sexual function.

When your hormones are in balance, your body functions at its best. As you get older, hormone levels decline, affecting your physical and emotional well-being.

At Pollard Concierge Health & Wellness, Dr. Pollard uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore hormone balance. Bioidentical hormones are made from plants and have the same structure and function as the hormones in your body.

Am I a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement?

Dr. Pollard conducts a comprehensive initial evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement. He understands that every patient’s hormone requirements differ, and he carefully and systematically evaluates your individual needs for hormone therapy.

Before prescribing bioidentical hormones, Dr. Pollard talks to you about his philosophy, asks about your expectations, and defines his treatment goals for you.

If you’re ready to move forward with bioidentical hormone replacement after your initial consultation, Dr. Pollard requests lab work to assess your hormone levels. Testing includes:

Baseline blood tests
Adrenal stress test
Human growth hormone (HGH) urine profile

Once Dr. Pollard gets the results of your lab work, he schedules a follow-up evaluation to review them. Dr. Pollard also has you complete a comprehensive medical history and lifestyle questionnaire.

He then makes treatment recommendations.

What are some of the bioidentical hormone replacement therapies?
