Hormone balance is critical for overall health and wellbeing. When levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and more become deficient, you may experience unpleasant symptoms impacting quality of life. Getting tested and pursuing bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal balance so you feel like yourself again!
At Renewal Hormone Clinic in Goldsboro, our experienced medical staff specialize in BHRT using a customized approach to meet each patient's unique needs. We understand the profound effect hormones have on the body and mind. Our goal is to help you regain energy, strength, mental clarity and an enhanced sense of wellbeing through expert testing, treatment and ongoing care.
Feeling off and wondering if your hormones could be to blame? Here are some key signs of hormone imbalance to be aware of:
Exhaustion, weakness and decreased stamina are common with low thyroid, testosterone or growth hormones. Thyroid regulates metabolism and deficiency causes fatigue. Testosterone powers energy, strength and endurance - if low, activity becomes a struggle. Growth hormone maintains muscle mass and bone density - without enough, you may tire easily.
Despite diet and exercise, unexplained weight gain and inability to lose pounds can indicate a hormonal culprit like low thyroid, testosterone or estrogen imbalance. These hormones help metabolize fat - when deficient, these functions slow down making weight loss extremely difficult.
A noticeably lower sex drive can stem from declining testosterone or estrogen. Testosterone fuels arousal and estrogen maintains vaginal health - together they influence sexual desire and satisfaction. If your libido takes a nosedive, hormones may be at play.
Unstable body temperature with severe hot flashes and/or drenching night sweats point to shifting estrogen levels during perimenopause or menopause. As estrogen declines, the body’s temperature regulating mechanisms are thrown off balance.
Fluctuating or falling hormones like cortisol, melatonin and estrogen can sabotage sleep quality leading to difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep or early morning waking. Hormonal imbalance is a major contributor to insomnia and sleep deprivation.
If you feel emotionally off with heightened sensitivity to stress, more frequent worrying or anxiety interfering with daily life, imbalanced cortisol, thyroid and estrogen could be the culprits. These hormones heavily influence mental health when low or shifting.
Estrogen, thyroid and other hormones nourish the brain cells responsible for memory formation and cognitive function. When these hormones decline or become imbalanced, you may suddenly struggle to recall names, words or everyday details, signalling hormonal brain fog.
If any of the above symptoms sound familiar, hormonal causes may be at the root - and restoring balance can provide immense relief!
Wondering if BHRT is right for you? Here’s a helpful primer on what bioidentical hormones are and how treatment works:
Bioidentical hormones are man-made formulations engineered in a lab to have the identical chemical structure as the hormones naturally made and recognized by your body.
This is crucially important, because bioidentical hormones can bind to your body's hormone receptors and mimic natural functions just like your innate hormones would, bringing deficient levels back up into ideal balance smoothly and safely.
They are sourced from plant compounds and custom-compounded based on each patient's needs, circumventing challenges traditional generic hormone replacement drugs face.
Conventional hormone replacement therapy utilizes synthetic or non-bioidentical formulas like Cenestin, Premarin or Provera to treat common menopause symptoms. However these versions often fail to fully restore natural rhythms or provide complete balance.
BHRT outpaces conventional replacement with the following advantages:
In essence, bioidentical hormone therapy is designed to truly mimic what your body produces naturally in a safe, effective way traditional hormone therapy cannot replicate.

Testosterone powers much of male health - from muscle mass and strength to sex drive, energy and beyond. But levels decline with age, stress and other factors. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can turn back time!
Testosterone peaks around age 30 then slowly declines approximately 1% per year. Unfortunately lifestyle habits like poor diet, excess alcohol, chronic stress and weight gain can accelerate deficiency. Low vitamin D3, thyroid dysfunction and medications also deplete testosterone.
If low T symptoms arise, lab testing can determine if treatment is warranted.
The benefits of TRT extend far beyond the bedroom. Research shows testosterone therapy effectively:
TRT is life-changing for men who need it - our programs help recapture your vigor safely, quickly and completely!
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Their chemical structures are identical to natural hormones, but the body processes both types similarly. More research is still needed on their long-term risks and benefits.
