Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. When hormones are deficient, the body struggles to regulate metabolism, fertility, sexual function, sleep, and more. Getting an accurate diagnosis and pursuing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to restore optimal hormonal balance is essential.
There are several potential causes of hormonal imbalances:
Genetics and environmental factors like toxins also play a role. Understanding the root cause helps customize an HRT protocol.
Common deficiency symptoms include:
Monitoring for these symptoms helps identify hormone issues early.
Since hormone imbalance signs are often vague, testing is essential for an accurate diagnosis. Butterfly Hormone Center uses advanced saliva and blood analysis to measure free hormone levels. We test key hormones including:
The hormone testosterone regulates sexual and reproductive health in both men and women. Low testosterone contributes to infertility, erectile dysfunction, low libido, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis.
This hormone controls the menstrual cycle, maintains pregnancy, and regulates other tissue functions. Low levels are linked to PMS, infertility, and urogenital disorders.
Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 help moderate heart rate, body temperature, metabolism, growth, and protein production. Low thyroid function causes weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, and sensitivity to cold.
After advanced testing, our expert physicians develop customized HRT treatment plans to address each patient's specific deficiencies and restore optimal balance.
We predominantly use bioidentical hormones which are structurally identical to those naturally made in the human body. This makes them easier to metabolize and reduces treatment risks. BHRT restores deficient hormones including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones to optimal levels based on lab testing.
Treatment is personalized based on:
We carefully monitor progress to adjust dosing if needed. Most patients report significant improvements in many symptoms within the first 6 months of therapy.
Additional therapies often used alongside BHRT include:
Lifestyle changes are also recommended to improve HRT results.
In addition to designing treatment plans, we also:
We partner with each patient long-term to ensure sustainable results.
There are many reasons to choose Butterfly Hormone Center over other hormone therapy clinics:
Our physicians have over 35 combined years specifically treating hormonal disorders using cutting edge therapies. We stay current on the latest medical research to enhance our integrative treatment methodology.
In addition to blood analysis, we also use salivary testing which studies bioavailable free hormone levels for precise diagnosis of imbalances. Accurately assessing deficiencies is crucial prior to developing HRT plans.
Every body and imbalance is unique. We tailor both the type of hormones and dosing protocols specifically to each patient's needs for superior safety and efficacy. One-size-fits all approaches result in suboptimal outcomes.
Instead of just looking at lab testing, we evaluate the entire patient including symptoms, health history, diet, lifestyle, stress levels and more when designing therapies. Our goal is to address the root physiological imbalance, not just numbers on a lab report.
Advancements in hormone therapy provide more options than ever to restore deficiencies. In addition to the latest bioidentical hormones, we also offer peptides, glandulars, hormone precursors, and other innovative therapies to meet each patient's physiology and preferences.
Our expertise combined with cutting edge testing and custom treatment plans produces life-changing results unmatched by other clinics. We put patient care first.
Hormone therapy was originally developed to help cisgender women going through menopause manage symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes. Today it is also used to help transgender people align their bodies with their gender identity during transition. The very same estrogen and testosterone can improve wellbeing whether alleviating menopause or affirming gender.
