Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical hormones helps restore optimal balance, health and vitality.
At Renewed Balance Clinic in Molalla, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones biologically identical to human hormones. We help patients achieve healthy hormone levels to resolve deficiency symptoms and promote wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormones provide many benefits compared to traditional hormone replacement:
Patients report improved sleep, energy, mental clarity, sexual function, bone health and more on properly managed BHRT.
The first step is diagnosing any hormone deficiencies through blood tests and evaluating symptoms. We check levels of key hormones including:
Deficient estrogen levels cause symptoms like:
Testosterone deficiency presents as:
We customize bioidentical hormone regimens based on your lab tests and symptoms. Treatment options include:
- Estrogen cream, patch, pills or pellet implants
- Progesterone cream, capsule or pellet implants
- Testosterone cream, injections, pills or pellet implants
Pellet implants provide steady hormone delivery over 4-6 months. We carefully monitor progress adjusting dosages based on follow-up lab tests and symptom tracking. Most patients start feeling better within weeks as hormones normalize.
Bioidentical hormones are not technically "natural" - even though they are identical on a molecular level to human hormones, they have to be chemically synthesized in a lab to achieve purity and consistency in dosing. However, evidence suggests they may carry lower risks than conventional hormone replacement in some areas.
Bioidentical hormone therapy works best alongside healthy lifestyle choices we encourage including:
We also advise nutritional supplements to support hormonal balance and overall wellbeing.
Local establishments like the Molalla River Recreation Area, Clackamas River Trail and Willamette National Forest provide beautiful outdoor spaces for walking, hiking, biking, fishing and relaxing in nature.

Healthy restaurant choices in town include eateries like Mom’s Kitchen, Stone Creek Pizza and Molalla Country Bakery.
Optimizing nutrition, activity levels and lifestyle bolsters hormone therapy effectiveness. We help patients integrate positive habits.
Hormone levels decline naturally with age leading to troublesome symptoms that worsen over time without treatment. Bioidentical hormone therapy can delay aging and deterioration in health.
Research shows prolonged hormone deficiency also elevates risks for:
We empower patients to take charge of their health through bioidentical hormone replacement before conditions progress. It is much easier addressing minor imbalances early on than attempting to reverse advanced deterioration later.
