Hormone levels naturally decline with age, and deficiencies can cause troubling symptoms. At Balance & Renew Clinic clinic, we provide customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help patients restore optimal balances.
Bioidentical means the hormones are structurally identical to those made in the human body. This allows precise dosing to meet each patient's needs. Treatment can relieve deficiency symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and loss of lean tissue mass.
Let's explore common hormone deficiencies and the wide-ranging benefits of timely treatment:
Testosterone levels peak in early adulthood then slowly decline about 1% per year after age 30. Some men experience a more rapid drop that leads to low testosterone symptoms like:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can successfully relieve these issues. With treatment, patients often report improved energy, sex drive, body composition, and sense of vitality.
Estrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause. Declining estrogen contributes to symptoms like:
Estrogen replacement eases these symptoms while also protecting long-term health. Benefits include reduced bone loss and lowered heart disease risk.
Levels of hormones like DHEA, thyroid, melatonin, and growth hormone also decline with age. Replacement can provide an extra boost in energy, mood, or metabolic function. We offer customized therapies involving these hormones.
Experiencing deficiency symptoms? Reclaim your health with bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to your needs.
The first step is to get your hormone levels tested. At Balance & Renew Clinic, we use advanced testing to measure free and total hormone levels in the blood or saliva. This shows us your individual hormone balance.
Based on the test results, our practitioners will design a personalized treatment plan. We monitor your hormone levels over time and continually adjust dosing to help you feel your best.
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to effectively managing deficiency. Prompt treatment also safeguards long-term health. Don't wait to take action!

Our goal is to support your best health during treatment and beyond. We invite you to schedule a consultation and discover the benefits of bioidentical hormones balanced just for you!
Symptoms of low testosterone include low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, decreased motivation, and mood instability. Testing is needed to confirm low levels.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those occurring naturally in the human body. This allows precise dosing tailored to restore optimal hormone balance.
We offer multiple TRT administration options including injections, gels, pellets, and more. Our team recommends the method best suited for your lifestyle and needs.
Most patients report increased energy, improved sleep, enhanced clarity, and better mood within 1-2 weeks. Peak benefits occur around 3 months. We monitor you over time for continual progress.
Without insurance, costs range $200-$500 monthly depending on which hormones you replace and administration methods. Select plans cover diagnosis testing and portions of treatment. We clarify costs upfront and work to maximize affordability.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking. More research is needed to understand the risks and benefits of each approach over the long term.
Balancing your hormones is an important first step. Optimizing lifestyle habits boosts treatment benefits. Here we suggest healthy ways to support your vitality while under our care:
Eat a balanced, nutrient-dense diet while avoiding excess sugar and unhealthy fats. We offer customized meal plans catered to your needs and health goals. Key nutrients that aid hormone health include:
Zinc: Boosts testosterone and thyroid function. Found in foods like oysters, beef, nuts and seeds.
Magnesium: Lowers cortisol and helps regulate estrogen. Found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans, fish, avocado, yogurt and more.
Healthy Fats: Support hormone production. Emphasize olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds and fatty fish.
Fiber: Helps eliminate excess estrogen and maintains healthy blood sugar levels. Found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
Exercise stimulates testosterone production while lowering cortisol. We recommend at least 30 minutes daily of heart-pumping activity tailored to your fitness level.
Great local centers we recommend include Urbana Health & Fitness Center, The Gym and Snap Fitness.
Chronic stress strains hormone function. Make time for stress-relieving activities like light yoga, meditation, massage, relaxing hobbies, or socializing. Wonderful local spas to visit include Muse Spa and Massage Heights.
Aim for 7-9 hours nightly. Steady sleep normalizes hormone rhythms. Suggestions for better sleep include limiting evening electronics, keeping the bedroom cool, and adopting consistent bedtime habits.
Convenient laboratories for follow-up testing during treatment include Quest Diagnostics Urbana and OSF Healthcare.
