BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Hormone Optimization uses bio-identical hormones to restore balance within the body and support optimal function. By replenishing the hormones that naturally decline with age, stress, or underlying imbalances, this therapy activates the body’s own restorative processes—helping regulate metabolism, improve mood, enhance sleep, support cognition, and stabilize energy. The result is a renewed sense of vitality, improved wellbeing, and a more balanced, resilient body that functions the way it was designed to.

WHAT IS HORMONE OPTIMIZATION, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hormone Optimization restores balance to the body by replenishing or adjusting key hormones that have declined or become dysregulated due to age, stress, environmental factors, or underlying conditions. At Salus Integrative, we specialize in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)—hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produces. This approach supports whole-body wellness by relieving symptoms while also addressing the root causes of imbalance to promote long-term vitality.

WHAT SYMPTOMS OR CONDITIONS CAN HORMONE OPTIMIZATION HELP WITH?

Hormone Optimization can improve a wide range of hormone-related symptoms and conditions, including fatigue, low energy, mood changes, irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances, irregular or uncomfortable menstrual cycles, and both perimenopause and menopause symptoms. It may also help address low libido, sexual dysfunction, weight fluctuations, difficulty losing weight, brain fog, poor concentration, hot flashes, night sweats, and adrenal or thyroid imbalances. By restoring hormonal balance and supporting the body’s natural rhythms, hormone optimization is designed to relieve symptoms, enhance overall wellbeing, and renew your sense of vitality.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY HORMONE EVALUATION?

Your evaluation begins with a comprehensive review of your health history, symptoms, medications, and lifestyle factors. We use advanced lab testing—including hormonal panels, thyroid markers, nutrient assessments, and when needed, DUTCH or genetic testing—to understand how your body produces, metabolizes, and responds to hormones. This allows us to develop a targeted plan that aligns with your biology and goals.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY EVALUATION?

You’ll receive a fully personalized treatment plan that may include precise dosing of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid support, or adrenal-balancing therapies. We also integrate nutrition, stress reduction, sleep support, and exercise strategies to enhance your results. Whether delivered through capsules, patches, gels, or injections, your therapy is customized for comfort, safety, and effectiveness.

IS HORMONE OPTIMIZATION SAFE?

When carefully prescribed and monitored by trained professionals, BHRT is considered safe and effective. We use the lowest effective doses, supported by regular follow-ups and lab monitoring, to ensure you are responding well and maintaining optimal balance.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR HORMONE OPTIMIZATION?

Hormone optimization may be ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline, imbalance, or dysfunction—such as fatigue, weight changes, mood fluctuations, hot flashes, sleep issues, or decreased libido. It is especially beneficial for those seeking a holistic, root-cause approach that blends evidence-based care with lifestyle support.

Please note: A comprehensive consultation is required before beginning treatment. Medications are not included in the consult fee.
