As we age, hormone levels naturally decline for various reasons:
Chronic stress and poor lifestyle habits like smoking, excessive alcohol, lack of sleep and exercise can disrupt hormone production.
Certain medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders or adrenal fatigue can impact hormone levels over time.
The natural aging process unfortunately slows down hormone production year after year. Genetics also play a role.
Replacing declining hormones through bioidentical hormone therapy provided by certified medical professionals can help patients minimize unpleasant menopausal symptoms, while promoting better health and vitality.
Getting a blood test is crucial to evaluate present hormone levels. Balance & Renew Clinic partners with top area labs to provide comprehensive panels checking key hormones like:
Saliva or urine tests cannot accurately measure hormone levels in cellular tissues and organs where they are truly active.
Blood serum analysis offers real precision on current patient hormone status to create customized treatment plans. Our knowledgeable staff helps analyze results alongside patients to understand deficiencies and set appropriate hormone dosage moving forward through periodic follow-up testing.
Balance & Renew Clinic sets itself apart with experienced medical providers optimizing hormone balance the right way. Our clinic follows research-backed protocols utilizing bioidentical hormones uniquely tailored to each patient’s physiology and needs.

* Loss of muscle mass * Increased body fat * Lack of energy * Emotional instability * Erectile dysfunction * Loss of libido
Research indicates properly administered bioidentical hormone therapy can provide receptor sites the proper levels they need to function optimally—promoting better health today and helping reduce age-related disease risks long-term.
Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide similar benefits to conventional hormone therapy, but may have fewer risks. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their long-term safety and efficacy compared to synthetic hormones.
Balance & Renew Clinic recognizes quality of life improvements from bioidentical hormones work synergistically alongside healthy lifestyle habits. We educate patients on diet, exercise, stress reduction and other areas complementing hormone balance.
