Restore Your Vitality with Customized Hormone Treatment
Hormone imbalance can happen to both men and women as we age, leading to undesirable symptoms that affect quality of life. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels to regain wellness and vitality. At The Hormone Hub in Pasadena, we offer customized BHRT programs to help you look and feel your best.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the body. This allows the bioidentical hormones to integrate seamlessly with your biochemistry. BHRT can supplement declining hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and others to achieve hormonal balance.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as your body's own hormones. This means they can bind more effectively to hormone receptors and fit your distinct hormonal needs. With BHRT from The Hormone Hub, you can restore hormonal balance in a safe, natural way.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones
Balancing your hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy provides a wide array of benefits such as:

At The Hormone Hub, our specialized providers take the time to listen and develop a treatment plan tailored just for you. We offer bioidentical hormones including:
- Estrogen - Improves mood, memory, sleep quality, skin thickness, and more. Helpful for controlling hot flashes and night sweats during menopause.
- Progesterone - Regulates the menstrual cycle, improves sleep, promotes calmness, and more. Crucial for women's health and wellbeing.
- Testosterone - Boosts libido, energy, muscle mass, motivation, and cognition in both men and women.

The key advantages of bioidentical hormones include:
- Made from natural plant compounds
- Biochemically identical to your own hormones

Timing and Duration of Therapy
Bioidentical hormone therapy is unlike other medications that are taken indefinitely. The goal is to balance hormones at the optimal levels you enjoyed in your youth. The duration of treatment depends on your specific situation:
- Menopause - BHRT can safely be taken for many years through perimenopause and menopause for symptom relief. Treatment can often be reduced or discontinued after this transition period.
- Andropause - Declining testosterone in aging males may require testosterone supplementation long-term for supporting vitality.
- Adrenal Fatigue - DHEA and cortisol levels may need support for 6-24 months to rebuild adrenal gland function and manage stress.
- Thyroid Disorders - Ongoing thyroid hormone supplementation is sometimes necessary if the issue is chronic.
We offer a full range of testing to accurately determine your hormone levels. Treatment plans are carefully monitored and adjusted based on follow-up testing to ensure optimal balance.

Interesting fact
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. Though touted as more natural, studies show bioidenticals provide no added health benefits compared to synthetic hormones. The body can't distinguish between the two, so claims of bioidenticals being safer or more effective lack evidence.
Balance is Beautiful®
Aging gracefully with vitality and beauty on your own terms is possible. At The Hormone Hub, we see aging as an opportunity to enhance - not compromise - your health and lifestyle. Our Balance is Beautiful® approach helps you thrive as you age.
We understand the relationship between hormones and outward appearance. Declining hormones manifest in undesirable symptoms like dry skin, hair loss, excess body fat, reduced muscle tone, wrinkles, and just looking "worn out."
By optimizing hormones with bioidentical therapy, we aim to:
- Replenish collagen - Estrogen and testosterone deficiencies contribute to less skin collagen leading to wrinkles and thinning skin. BHRT can improve elasticity and moisture.
- Regain fuller breasts - Breasts have estrogen receptors that decline with menopause. Estrogen therapy can enhance breast size and firmness.
- Reignite color and luster - Falling estrogen causes hair to thin and fade. Restoring balance revives thickness, growth, and vibrant color.
- Recontour body shape - The shifted fat distribution with menopause and andropause leads to central weight gain. Hormone optimization helps achieve a lean, fit physique.
- Rebuild lean muscle - Low testosterone causes reduced strength and muscle mass. Testosterone therapy reinstates athleticism and metabolism.
Feel youthful and refreshed from the inside out. Contact The Hormone Hub today to learn more about our Balance is Beautiful® approach to age management and hormone optimization.
