What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, which have a slightly different chemical structure, bioidentical hormones fit perfectly into your body's hormone receptors.
At Highland Longevity, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly which hormones are imbalanced and create a personalized treatment plan. We test and optimize estradiol, progesterone, testosterone (yes, women need it too), DHEA, and thyroid hormones.
The result? Relief from symptoms, improved energy, better sleep, clearer thinking, and a return to feeling like yourself. Most women notice significant improvement within 2-4 weeks of starting therapy.
