At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, located just a short drive from the heart of Carlsbad, Dr. Mark Stengler, NMD, MS, and his experienced team specialize in helping men and women restore hormonal balance naturally and safely. Known nationally as America’s Natural Doctor, Dr. Stengler blends the best of conventional medicine with proven natural therapies to help his patients regain vitality, emotional balance, and lasting wellness.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is at the core of this approach. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies that use synthetic compounds, BHRT relies on hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. This allows for a more harmonious and biologically accurate restoration of hormonal function.
At our Carlsbad-area clinic, BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each treatment plan is based on comprehensive lab testing and a deep understanding of your individual biochemistry, ensuring that your therapy is both effective and personalized. With Dr. Stengler’s careful guidance, many patients experience renewed energy, improved sleep, sharper mental focus, enhanced libido, and a brighter outlook on life.
Hormonal balance affects every system in your body — from your metabolism and immune health to your emotional well-being. Through safe, science-backed bioidentical therapy, patients in Carlsbad can rediscover the energy, confidence, and stability that come with balanced hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources such as soy or wild yams, then refined and compounded to be molecularly identical to the hormones produced in the human body. This identical structure allows them to interact seamlessly with your body’s hormone receptors, providing natural and consistent effects that support optimal function.
In contrast, synthetic hormones used in many conventional treatments often have slight chemical modifications. These differences can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects or an increased risk of complications because the body does not recognize them as fully natural.
At the Stengler Center, bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded in specialized pharmacies to ensure exact dosing that matches your body’s needs. This individualized process allows Dr. Stengler to fine-tune your therapy for maximum benefit — improving balance, metabolism, and vitality without overstimulation or suppression of your body’s own natural hormone production.
Each patient’s hormone levels are carefully monitored through advanced laboratory testing, allowing for ongoing adjustments that reflect your unique physiology and health goals.
Hormonal imbalance can develop gradually, often leading to symptoms that many people attribute to “normal aging.” However, when hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones shift out of balance, the effects can be far-reaching. Recognizing these signs early allows for natural and effective intervention through BHRT.
As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate dramatically. BHRT helps restore harmony, reduce discomfort, and support emotional and physical resilience.
For men in Carlsbad and surrounding areas, BHRT offers a natural way to optimize testosterone and other key hormones. The result is improved strength, sharper mental clarity, and a renewed sense of motivation.
Restoring hormonal balance has a profound impact on nearly every aspect of physical, mental, and emotional health. At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. Mark Stengler uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help patients in Carlsbad and the surrounding North County communities reclaim their natural energy and vitality.
BHRT works with your body, not against it. Because the hormones are identical to those your body produces, they fit perfectly into your hormone receptors, promoting balance without disrupting natural biological processes. Patients often describe BHRT as “feeling like themselves again”—clear-minded, energetic, and emotionally stable.
Here are some of the many benefits BHRT provides when carefully prescribed and monitored by Dr. Stengler:
Dr. Stengler’s approach to BHRT in Carlsbad is personalized, evidence-based, and holistic—ensuring that patients not only restore hormone balance but also improve their overall quality of life.
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can cause significant changes in a woman’s body, often affecting physical comfort, mood, and long-term health. As estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones decline, many women experience fatigue, irritability, hot flashes, and disrupted sleep. These changes can also increase the risk for bone loss, heart concerns, and weight gain.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women offers a natural and effective way to restore equilibrium and well-being. Because bioidentical hormones mirror the body’s own structure, they integrate seamlessly into hormone receptor sites, helping regulate cycles, mood, and metabolism with minimal side effects.
At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, women in Carlsbad receive customized BHRT plans designed around comprehensive hormone testing. Dr. Stengler evaluates levels of:
By addressing these interconnected systems, BHRT helps reduce menopausal symptoms, promote restful sleep, and enhance emotional steadiness. Over time, many women notice clearer skin, improved libido, and renewed strength. Most importantly, Dr. Stengler’s holistic perspective ensures that treatment supports both short-term comfort and long-term vitality.
Women often express that after BHRT, they no longer feel “off-balance” or “disconnected” from their own bodies—they feel vibrant again.
Just as women experience menopause, men face andropause—a gradual decline in testosterone and other vital hormones beginning around age 35 to 40. This change may happen slowly, but its effects are unmistakable: low energy, loss of muscle mass, increased abdominal fat, reduced motivation, irritability, and diminished sexual performance.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men offers a natural way to restore testosterone and other key hormones to healthy, youthful levels. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical testosterone mirrors the body’s natural chemistry, providing consistent and balanced results.
Dr. Stengler uses advanced testing to measure testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid hormones before developing an individualized plan. Based on your unique physiology and lifestyle, BHRT may be administered through:
Beyond simply replenishing testosterone, Dr. Stengler focuses on identifying underlying factors that contribute to hormonal decline—such as chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, sleep deprivation, and environmental toxin exposure. Addressing these root causes ensures that results are not only effective but lasting.
Men treated at the Stengler Center in Carlsbad often report noticeable improvements in energy, mental focus, mood stability, muscle tone, and libido within weeks of beginning therapy. Many also describe a renewed drive and sense of confidence that enhances both personal and professional life.
