Bioidentical hormones are substances that have a chemical structure identical to hormones naturally produced by the human body. As we age or due to medical conditions, our bodies may not produce adequate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Bioidentical hormone therapy involves supplementing these hormones to restore optimal levels, thereby alleviating unpleasant symptoms of hormonal imbalance and promoting better health.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic clinic in Redford, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) tailored to your unique needs. We help both men and women suffering from issues like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats and more caused by hormone deficiency.
