Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally made in the human body to supplement declining hormone levels. BHRT can alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone deficiency like fatigue, depression, low libido, night sweats, and hot flashes. It may also provide protective health benefits related to the heart, brain, and metabolism.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Fairburn, our experienced medical providers specialize in customized bioidentical hormone therapy to meet each patient's unique needs and health goals. We provide cutting-edge testing, treatment protocols, and specialty medications to optimize hormone balance and wellness on an individual level. When you choose New Beginnings HRT Clinic, you get personalized care and attention at every step.
The first step in BHRT is diagnosing any hormonal deficiencies or imbalances. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we use advanced testing that goes far beyond the standard blood panels to get a comprehensive snapshot of your adrenal, thyroid, sex, and metabolic hormones. Catching hormone issues early allows for better health outcomes with BHRT.
Common hormones we test and treat imbalances in include:
In both men and women, having even slight hormone deficits can negatively affect quality of life. The sooner they are addressed, the better patients feel and function.
The providers at New Beginnings HRT Clinic have specialized training and expertise in integrative hormone therapy protocols like bioidentical hormone pellets and creams, glandulars, nutrient therapies, and customized prescription medications when needed.
We stay up to date with all the latest research and best practices in the field of anti-aging and hormone optimization medicine so we can translate that knowledge into the bespoke treatment plans our patients deserve.
Some key benefits of our integrative approach include:
In short - we realize BHRT is just one piece of the hormone health puzzle. Our goal is always to promote full mind and body homeostasis from the inside out.
Here in Fairburn and the surrounding South Atlanta suburbs, maintaining healthy hormone levels is especially critical due to the hot, humid climate and related impacts on stress, sleep, activity levels, and inflammation.
When hormone deficiencies are already present, heat waves and seasonal allergies tend to exacerbate unpleasant symptoms like insomnia, headaches, fatigue, aches and pains, anxiety, and low mood. The spring and summer months are when we see the most patients coming in with worsening symptoms seeking help through hormone testing and BHRT customization.
We've also found many Fairburn residents face hormone issues tied to high pressure jobs, long work hours, lengthy commutes, and trying to balance busy family lives; all factors that increase inflammation and the effects of stress hormones like cortisol on the body.
In these cases, getting proper sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction techniques in place is key - along with precisely calibrated bioidentical hormones - for resolving symptoms long-term.
With so many hormone therapy clinics now available, why should you choose us? Here's what sets New Beginnings HRT Clinic apart:
We also have strong roots serving the Fairburn community and aim to support local businesses as much as possible through our clinic recommendations for nutritionists, personal trainers, therapeutic massage, salons, health food stores, walking trails, and other wellness resources that complement our integrative hormone therapy programs.
Accurately assessing current hormone levels through testing is the critical first step toward successful bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, our providers use advanced diagnostics that go far beyond standard bloodwork to uncover the root causes of patients' symptoms. We collect vital biomarkers related to:
Sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone orchestrate everything from reproduction to sexual health to positive mood and cognition.
Imbalances often start perimenopause when periods become irregular, culminating in menopause when menstruation ends permanently. Declining progesterone and estrogen cause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
In andropause (male menopause), testosterone levels gradually fall about 1% per year from the 30s onward. This hampers muscle mass, strength, sexual function, motivation, and mental acuity.
Low hormone levels also negatively impact heart health, skin elasticity, sleep quality, weight management, and emotional wellbeing.
The butterfly-shaped thyroid gland produces metabolic hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) that control the body's energy production, heart rate, digestion, muscle control, mood, and much more.
Hypothyroidism is indicated by elevated TSH on lab testing along with low T3 and T4 values. Typical symptoms include stubborn weight gain, cold sensitivity, muscle aches, constipation, brain fog, hair thinning, fatigue, and depression. Left untreated, it can worsen heart disease and cholesterol profiles.
Hyperthyroidism shows low TSH with elevated T3 and T4 levels. An overactive thyroid gland cranks up metabolism leading to anxiety, insomnia, tremors, rapid heart rate, diarrhea, and sudden weight loss.
The adrenal glands release over 50 vital hormones. Key players are DHEA and cortisol that regulate immunity, blood sugar, circulation, cognition, inflammation, mood stability, energy levels, and the “fight or flight” stress response.
Chronically high cortisol from prolonged stress causes adrenal burnout. Symptoms include salt/sugar cravings, fatigue (especially mornings), dizziness upon standing, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, stubborn belly fat, and viral reactivation.
DHEA enhances libido, immunity, and youthful vitality. Like other hormones, DHEA production declines significantly with age if not properly supported.
Measuring 24-hour free cortisol patterns along with DHEA-S blood levels reveals adrenal gland functioning. Identifying deficiencies early allows quicker intervention through stress reduction, diet, and bioidentical hormones/nutrients to rebalance levels.
Once any hormonal deficiencies or excesses are pinpointed through testing, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can bring profound relief from symptoms and protection against degenerative disease.
What makes “bioidentical” hormones unique?
Bioidentical refers to man-made hormones engineered to perfectly match the chemical structure of hormones made naturally in the human body. This allows receptor binding and systemic utilization without interference.
The key difference from conventional hormone replacement is enhanced safety and efficacy thanks to this identical biochemistry.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we provide fully customized bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone (T3/T4), DHEA, melatonin, and other key hormones in capsule, pellet, or cream formulations designed around each patient’s needs.
Below we cover the wide-ranging benefits this sophisticated hormone therapy provides:
Our patients report life-changing relief from uncomfortable symptoms within weeks of starting properly balanced BHRT. Benefits include:
Addressing deficiencies at their source through precision bioidentical hormones eliminates frustrating symptoms fast. Patients often feel like themselves again - sometimes better than ever!
Balanced hormones, especially estrogen, confer vital cardiovascular benefits:
Thyroid and sex hormones also control cholesterol metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and central obesity (belly fat). Optimizing levels through BHRT boosts fat burning while reducing diabetes and heart disease risk factors.
Estrogen and testosterone play integral roles in proper bone mineralization to prevent osteopenia, osteoporosis, and age-related fractures.
These same sex hormones maintain structural collagen integrity guarding against arthritis, disc degeneration, ligament tears, and nagging joint aches.
Balanced through BHRT, estrogen and testosterone keep bones, joints, and connective tissues resilient protecting mobility into later life.
Along with its cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits, optimized estrogen restores skin thickness, elasticity, and moisture content for a smoother, plumper, more youthful appearance.
Thyroid hormones also stimulate fast turnover of skin cells and collagen production. Low thyroid slows cell regeneration - a key factor in dry skin and wrinkles.
In both men and women, fuller hair growth results from better estrogen and thyroid activity improving follicle and scalp health.
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike pursue hormone testing and replacement to amplify gym performance, endurance, recovery ability, and strength gains.
Testosterone boosts muscle protein synthesis. Growth hormone (HGH) mobilizes fat stores for energy use. And thyroid hormones allow more efficient ATP energy production within cells.
Through multi-pathway support, optimized hormones give a proven ergogenic (performance-enhancing) advantage for recreational exercisers and elite competitors alike.
Finally, balanced bioidentical hormones lend neurologic and psychologic benefits:
Patients call it the “superfuel for life” – supporting productive work, lasting pleasures, and fulfilling relationships into later years via brain and body chemical renewal.
In total, BHRT offers unparalleled protective, regenerative, and anti-aging effects thanks to normalized hormones guiding proper holistic physiology.
While innovative medications like bioidentical hormone pellets, creams, and capsules lie at the heart of our treatment plans, truly optimal rejuvenation only comes through a whole-person approach.
We realize hormones don’t work in isolation - they interact with other body systems in an interconnected web. Diet and nutrition, inflammation control, gut health, stress levels, lymph flow, acid-base balance, exercise habits, environmental toxin exposures, genetics, and previous illnesses all influence hormonal dynamics.
That’s why our practitioners perform comprehensive laboratory assessments, lifestyle audits, and detailed patient interviews alongside physical exams to understand the “big picture” of what created present hormone dysfunction for each individual.
Armed with these insights, we craft fully personalized therapy regimens synergizing bioidentical hormones with customized nutrition plans, referral guidance to local health/wellness businesses, stress reduction techniques, and follow-up testing to ensure treatment effectiveness.
This “inside and out” methodology addressing root causes of hormone disorder provides our patients uniquely optimized revitalization untrivaled in safety, potency, and lasting efficacy.
Here's an overview of how we partner together:
Ultimately our guiding tenet is optimizing wellbeing beyond basic symptom relief. We desire true healing that taps into the body’s innate wisdom and capacity for vitality. This generates the energy, mental clarity and healthy longevity today’s busy professionals desire.
We feel privileged to facilitate this process and consider your partnership invaluable.
Unlike conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind more efficiently to receptors and possibly result in fewer side effects, though more research is still needed to confirm if this is truly the case.
Both men and women can benefit greatly from BHRT to relieve frustrating deficiency symptoms and protect long-term health. Any adults experiencing low energy, trouble sleeping, unexplained weight gain, reduced libido, hot flashes, night sweats, or other issues may have hormonal lab testing allows us to determine which hormones are suboptimal and customize effective treatment plans using bioidentical hormones. As protective factors against aging, optimizing levels earlier leads better outcomes. That said, it’s never too late to regain balance!
Bioidentical hormones come in several forms allowing us to individualize therapy. Most popular are sustained-release hormone pellets implanted under the skin lasting 3-6 months. Creams, gels, capsules, tablets, and injectables are also excellent options in the right situations. Pellet implants in particular bypass the liver meaning very high bioavailability without safety issues. New Beginnings HRT Clinic providers will explain what makes clinical sense for your needs.
Relief comes quickly! Most patients describe substantial benefits within 4-6 weeks as cells receptor sites saturate and hormone interplay normalizes. Things like hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia often resolve within days. Lingering symptoms may take longer depending on their severity and complexity. We monitor patients closely and adjust dosages to hasten response. You’ll look and feel better fast!
Post-insertion lab testing combined with subjective assessments of your symptom response allows us to ensure your customized hormones are interacting properly and aren’t over- or underdosed. Follow-ups continue at regular intervals to confirm your treatment plan remains ideal as bodies change across the months and years ahead. We partner with you for the long run!The goal is maintaining peak performance, energy, sexual vitality, and quality of life throughout midlife and beyond!
