Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels, thereby relieving symptoms and promoting better health.
At Harmonize Hormones in ozone park, NY, we specialize in BHRT using bioidentical hormones to match your body's natural hormones. We create customized treatment plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
Bioidentical hormone therapy may help both men and women suffering from age-related hormone decline as well as those with below optimal levels due to other reasons.
Common symptoms of hormone imbalance:
BHRT should only be prescribed by an experienced bioidentical hormone specialist after proper testing confirms a true hormone deficiency. Customized plans ensure optimal dosing.
The first step is having your hormone levels tested to confirm an imbalance. At Harmonize Hormones, initial testing includes:
Follow-up tests may be needed to monitor progress and adjust dosing. We use high-quality tests and thoroughly analyze results.
Do not assume symptoms alone indicate a true deficiency warranting treatment. Testing provides vital data to assess the need for BHRT and inform treatment plans.
We evaluate levels of key hormones including:
Testing analyzes free/bioavailable and total hormone levels for accurate assessment. As levels decline gradually, even "normal" ranges may be insufficient for some people to feel their best. The goal is optimal balance tailored to the individual, not just "adequate" on lab reports.
Harmonize Hormones provides cutting-edge bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to your unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and health goals.
After confirming a true deficiency, we create fully customized therapies featuring:
We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our expertise in BHRT enables crafting individual solutions for the best possible results.
For menopausal women, balanced bioidentical estradiol and estriol can effectively treat:
As estrogen declines in men, low-dose bioidentical estradiol may help:
Testosterone levels fall gradually in both men and women starting from the 30s-40s. Low testosterone contributes to:
For both sexes, restoring testosterone to optimal ranges with bioidentical forms like testosterone cypionate can effectively treat low T symptoms.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen in women to:
Declining progesterone is rarely addressed in aging women, but optimizing levels with bioidentical progesterone is vital for overall hormone health.

What sets Harmonize Hormones apart:
With so many clinics offering bioidentical hormones today, it pays to choose carefully. Despite good intentions, suboptimal testing and inappropriate treatment happen too often. We consistently achieve life-changing results by leveraging:
Our exceptional expertise
Truly personalized care
State-of-the-art diagnostics
Harmonize Hormones stands apart through our dedication to the right diagnostics, right therapies, and exceptional sustained support - everything needed to help you achieve your best health possible.
Beginning bioidentical hormone replacement therapy starts with a consultation at Harmonize Hormones. We conduct extensive assessments including:
Within 4-6 weeks, most patients report significant relief from hormone deficiency symptoms. At 8-12 weeks, full benefits emerge, including:
Follow-up testing is key to confirm and maintain optimal hormone balance tailored to your changing needs. Nutrition and lifestyle optimization further amplify benefits. With Harmonize Hormones's expert guidance, most patients report life-changing renewals in health and quality of life.
Evidence confirms bioidentical hormones have an excellent safety profile when properly dosed based on testing. Our therapies feature hormones matching human biochemistry - not synthetics - and precision delivery methods for optimal safety. Ongoing monitoring helps ensure effectiveness and balance are maintained long-term without risks of overdose.
Synthetics like prescription PremPro do not match human hormone biochemistry and metabolism. This raises risks for side effects and adverse events. They are standardized doses ignoring individual variation in hormone needs for optimal balance. For safety and maximum benefits, properly prescribed bioidentical hormones are superior.
Pricing depends on specific hormone testing and types of bioidenticals required for your custom therapy. Most patients invest between $250-$500 monthly after the first few months of more intensive testing and adjustment to achieve ideal levels. While not covered by insurance, costs are competitive with many prescription drugs today and yield vastly greater quality of life improvements.
Most patients report significant benefits within 1-2 months, including improved sleep, energy, mental clarity, exercise recovery capacity, plus relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal atrophy. Restored libido and sexual function also emerge quickly. Continued optimization over 3-6 months can yield substantial anti-aging effects - weight normalization, improved skin quality, joint support, and disease prevention (heart, bone, brain). Our goal is helping you achieve sustainable gains in whole-body health, not just temporarily relieving a few menopausal symptoms.
We hope this overview provides helpful information on restoring optimal hormone balance with expert bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to your unique needs. Thousands experience life-changing renewals in well-being, vitality, and health when hormone levels are optimized as we age. Harmonize Hormones makes this achievable for women and men wanting to age gracefully while feeling their best.
