Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is growing in popularity as a safe and effective option to treat hormone imbalance symptoms. This therapy uses plant-derived hormones identical on a molecular level to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. At Equilibrium Hormone Institute clinic in Lebanon, we specialize in customized BHRT to help patients find relief.
Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA decline with age, leading to deficiency symptoms. Imbalance can also occur due to medical conditions, menopause, and other factors. The key effects of imbalance include:
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced by the ovaries and testes. This allows them to bind to receptors and mimic natural hormones for optimal results.
At Equilibrium Hormone Institute, our experienced practitioners use the latest compounding techniques to create completely customized BHRT plans. We help patients achieve ideal hormone balance for improved wellbeing.
With compounded bioidenticals, we can create the precise combinations and doses of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and DHEA that you need.
The process of starting hormone therapy begins with blood tests to measure current hormone levels. This allows us to identify deficiencies and tailor the treatment plan.
Initial testing establishes a baseline to adjust dosing until ideal levels and symptom relief are achieved. Patients then undergo follow-up testing periodically to monitor results.
Custom compounded BHRT offers multiple delivery methods to fit each patient's needs:
With many options available, we can work together to find your optimal regimen. Convenience, control, and comfort are our top priorities.
Bioidentical hormone therapy aims to restore balance for improved wellbeing. Certain lifestyle measures can also promote healthy hormone levels:
Eating a nutrient-dense diet high in produce, lean protein, nuts/seeds, and whole grains supports the endocrine system. These foods provide antioxidants to reduce inflammation as well as compounds that facilitate hormone regulation. Staying adequately hydrated is also key.
Regular physical activity helps regulate estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and growth hormone levels. As little as 30 minutes per day of walking or strength training stimulates beneficial hormonal activity for better sleep, mood, sexual health, and metabolism. Outdoor walks in nature offer added stress relief.
High stress drives up cortisol, which can disrupt other hormones. Relaxation practices like yoga, deep breathing, massage, and meditation balance cortisol. Getting quality sleep and social connection further bolster resilience. Making time for enjoyable hobbies also helps mitigate stress.
With a holistic approach including bioidentical hormones and lifestyle measures, patients see transformative improvements in energy, sleep, emotional wellbeing, sexual health, body composition, and quality of life.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking, so assumed superiority is currently more perception than proven reality.
