Achieve Hormonal Balance Naturally with Bioidentical Hormones
Hormones play a crucial role in nearly every function of the body, from metabolism and energy levels to mood and cognitive function. However, as we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to a variety of uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a natural and effective solution to restoring hormonal balance, improving overall health, and enhancing quality of life.
For those in La Mesa and surrounding San Diego areas, expert-led BHRT is available at the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine. Under the guidance of Dr. Mark Stengler, a nationally recognized leader in integrative and natural medicine, patients receive personalized hormone therapy tailored to their unique needs.
Bioidentical hormones are a safe and effective alternative to synthetic hormone therapy, offering a more natural way to restore balance and alleviate symptoms of hormonal decline. These hormones are used in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help both men and women regain optimal health and vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This means the body recognizes and processes them just like its own hormones, reducing the risk of side effects commonly associated with synthetic hormone therapy.
In contrast, synthetic hormones, which are commonly found in conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), are created from chemical compounds or derived from animal sources. These hormones often have structural differences, which can lead to unwanted side effects such as weight gain, mood instability, increased risk of blood clots, and cardiovascular issues.
Bioidentical hormones are typically derived from plant-based sources such as wild yams and soybeans. These plants contain compounds that can be converted into estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which are then refined to match human hormones precisely.
Unlike traditional synthetic hormones that come in standardized doses, BHRT is personalized based on each individual’s hormone levels. Through comprehensive testing and evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed to restore balance without overloading the body with unnecessary hormones.
Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women, leading to a variety of health issues. BHRT provides targeted treatment for conditions such as:
By closely mimicking the body’s own hormones, bioidentical hormone therapy offers a safer and more natural way to optimize health.
When it comes to hormone therapy, not all treatments are created equal. Traditional synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been linked to various side effects and risks, leaving many patients seeking a safer, more natural alternative. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a personalized, plant-derived solution that closely mimics the body’s own hormones—leading to better results with fewer side effects.
At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we specialize in customized BHRT treatments for both men and women in La Mesa and surrounding areas, helping patients restore hormonal balance safely and effectively.
Traditional synthetic hormone therapy, such as Premarin and Provera, is made from chemical compounds or animal-derived hormones that differ structurally from the body’s natural hormones. Because of these differences, synthetic hormones can lead to increased risks of blood clots, mood swings, weight gain, and cardiovascular issues.
In contrast, bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, reducing the likelihood of side effects. Patients using BHRT often report:
✔️ Better hormone absorption and effectiveness
✔️ Improved mood and emotional stability
✔️ Fewer adverse reactions like bloating, headaches, and nausea
Unlike one-size-fits-all synthetic hormone prescriptions, BHRT is tailored specifically to your body’s needs. At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we perform comprehensive hormone testing to determine the exact imbalances in your body.
💡 How It Works:
✅ A detailed hormone panel is conducted through blood, saliva, or urine testing.
✅ A personalized treatment plan is developed based on your unique hormone levels.
✅ Ongoing monitoring ensures that dosages are adjusted as needed for optimal results.
By customizing treatment, BHRT ensures you receive the precise hormone levels your body needs—without excess or deficiency.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources such as wild yams and soybeans, which contain compounds that are biologically converted into estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These plant-based hormones are:
🌿 Free from synthetic additives and artificial chemicals
🌿 Biologically identical to human hormones for better compatibility
🌿 Processed to ensure purity and effectiveness
This natural approach makes BHRT a safer, more holistic alternative for individuals seeking hormonal balance without exposing their bodies to unnatural chemicals.
