Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are often prescribed to counteract hormonal changes related to aging and health conditions.
The bioidentical hormones prescribed at our Groton hormone clinic come from natural, plant-derived sources that perfectly mimic hormones produced by the ovaries and testes before a drop in hormones occurs with age. We never use synthetic hormones, which can produce unpleasant side effects. Our individually tailored bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) replenishes your unique hormonal needs to restore optimal balance.
We customize each patient's dosage by expertly compounding hormones into capsules, gels, pellets, tablets, creams or troches based on their deficiencies, sensitivities, lifestyle and more. This precision tailoring provides optimal relief of deficiency symptoms without overdosing.
Our Groton hormone doctors recognize that no two patients are alike biochemically. We test your blood and get a full health history to gauge your unique hormonal landscape. Then we craft treatment plans to suit your individual hormonal requirements, which may differ greatly from another person your age.
Balancing your hormones with our personalized Groton bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) offers wide-ranging benefits.
Age and health conditions deplete hormones, causing uncomfortable signs like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, fatigue, mood swings, memory lapses, weight gain, muscle loss, insomnia, anxiety and depression. Our expert BHRT alleviates these issues by restoring optimal hormonal balance.
With stabilized hormones, most patients report feeling like themselves again, with increased energy, sharper thinking, balanced moods and emotions, healthier sleep, revitalized skin and hair, easier weight management, stronger bones, greater muscle tone, improved intimacy and an all-around better quality of life.
Balanced hormones afforded by our bioidentical programs also offer protective effects against osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, dementia and certain cancers like breast and prostate. Patients enjoy greater vitality at any age along with reduced risks for chronic degenerative disease.
Our entire clinical team strives to make you feel cared for as an individual. We listen to your needs with compassion and empathy. You can always reach out to us with questions or concerns via phone and email. We work as partners, dedicated to your health, happiness and therapeutic success.
As we age, hormone production declines, leading to changes like:
Left untreated, symptoms intensify over time, significantly impacting one’s quality of life. Our clinic’s customized bioidentical regimens correct imbalances to resolve deficiency signs.
Reasons for dropping hormone levels include:
Genetics also play a role. Regardless of why you feel off, restoring hormonal harmony reverses associated decline.
Since every patient has a unique hormonal makeup, comprehensive tests are key for appropriate treatment planning. We screen blood levels of:
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits.
Women facing perimenopause or menopause develop deficiencies in reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Associated signs like hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency, fatigue and emotional swings often disrupt daily life.
Estrogen fuels many key body processes while progesterone helps regulate menstruation and moderates estrogen’s effects. Our personalized regimens replenish both to alleviate discomforting symptoms using the lowest effective doses. We avoid oversupplementation which can raise health risks. Most women quickly report feeling much better.
In both sexes, testosterone sparks libido, energizes cells, and promotes muscle growth, strong bones and efficient fat-burning. By the 50’s and 60’s, many adults make only 20-50% of peak youthful testosterone levels. Low T contributes to sexual dysfunction, physical frailty, flagging endurance and increased body fat despite diet and exercise.
Our Groton hormone clinic’s testosterone therapy programs safely rejuvenate T levels in men and women as confirmed by follow-up blood testing. Patients praise increased energy, mental sharpness, stamina and lean muscle mass, reduced body fat, greater confidence and restored satisfaction in the bedroom.
A properly working thyroid gland secretes hormones called T3 and T4 to govern metabolism. Low thyroid function causes fatigue, stubborn weight gain, constipation, cold sensitivity, dry skin and hair, muscle weakness, fluid retention, impaired memory and depression. Too much thyroid activity produces symptoms like rapid heart rate, anxiety and unexplained weight loss.
We test blood levels of TSH, T3 and T4 to accurately diagnose thyroid dysfunction. Individualized treatment returns these hormones to optimal zones to resolve associated problems. Routine follow-up testing ensures proper medication dosing for sustained wellness. Patients feel more energetic, think clearly, manage weight easier and enjoy better overall health.
The adrenal glands manufacture over 50 essential hormones and stress regulators like cortisol, DHEA and epinephrine. Chronic stress overworks these glands resulting in hormonal burnout. Symptoms include exhaustion despite adequate sleep, salt and sugar cravings, dizziness upon standing, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, poor immunity and inflammatory conditions.
We evaluate key adrenal biomarkers in blood and saliva. Customized nutraceuticals, bioidentical hormones and lifestyle changes renew adrenal resilience, recovery from stressors and balanced energy flow. Patients look and feel rejuvenated.
