Hormones play a vital role in regulating many processes in the body. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can lead to undesirable symptoms and health risks. Bioidentical hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels to alleviate deficiency symptoms and promote better health.
Timely diagnosis and treatment of hormone imbalances is crucial for regaining wellbeing and preventing progression of related conditions. The specialized endocrinology team at Butterfly Hormone Center offers advanced testing and personalized plans to help patients achieve hormone balance.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are synthesized from plant sources and customized to match each person's individual hormone needs.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidenticals are biochemically equivalent to endogenous human hormones, providing a more natural hormonal balance. Our compounding pharmacy prepares customized bioidentical treatments to meet each patient's unique requisites.
Restoring hormone levels with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) provides many benefits:
The first step is advanced testing to check individual hormone levels. Based on test findings, our endocrinologists create customized treatment plans to restore balance.
We offer state-of-the art testing for reproductive hormones, adrenal and thyroid hormones, melatonin, and other biomarkers. Understanding your hormone profile is key for effective treatment.
Hormone tests may include:
* Estradiol - primary estrogen * Progesterone – regulates menstrual cycle * Testosterone – impacts libido and energy * DHEA and cortisol – adrenal glands * Thyroid panel * FSH, LH - pituitary signals
* Testosterone - impacts vitality and muscles * Estradiol - regulates testosterone * Thyroid hormones * DHEA, progesterone – adrenal health
After testing, our endocrinologists design personalized bioidentical hormone therapy customized to your needs.
Routes of bioidentical hormone administration:
We help determine the optimal delivery method for your lifestyle and health goals.
Follow-up testing allows monitoring your hormone levels, ensuring balance is achieved and maintained long-term. We provide ongoing support to continually optimize your treatment plan.
Consistency and persistence leads to the best results from bioidentical HRT. We empower patients with education and resources for self-care between visits.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some small studies show bioidentical progesterone might have a better safety profile than synthetic progestins regarding heart disease and breast cancer risk. More research is still needed in this area.

* Hot flashes/night sweats * Vaginal dryness * Sleep disturbances * Irritability/mood swings * Fatigue * Weight gain * Hair loss * Foggy thinking
* Low libido * Erectile dysfunction * Depression * Loss of strength * Fatigue * Difficulty concentrating * Irritability
