Hormone Therapy in Renton, WA for Men and Women

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. For example, bioidentical estradiol is the exact same molecule as the estradiol your ovaries produce, and bioidentical testosterone is the same molecule as endogenous testosterone. This molecular identity means bioidentical hormones bind to hormone receptors and are metabolized by the body in the same way as your natural hormones. Many patients and practitioners prefer bioidentical hormones for their perceived naturalness and favorable tolerability. Bioidentical hormones are available from both FDA-approved pharmaceutical manufacturers and licensed compounding pharmacies, and we use both sources depending on the specific hormone and formulation needed for your protocol.

When properly prescribed, monitored, and managed by qualified medical professionals, hormone therapy has a well-established safety profile backed by decades of clinical research. The key to safety is individualization - the right hormones, at the right doses, via the right delivery method, with regular monitoring. Risks and benefits vary based on the specific hormones used, the delivery method, dose, patient age, health history, and duration of use. During your consultation, our medical team will discuss the specific risk-benefit profile relevant to your situation, including any contraindications. Our regular lab monitoring and clinical follow-ups are designed to detect and address any safety concerns early. Dr. Landfield's medical oversight ensures that your therapy is both effective and safe.

Common signs of hormonal imbalance include persistent fatigue despite adequate sleep, unexplained weight gain (especially abdominal), decreased libido or sexual dysfunction, mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression), difficulty concentrating or brain fog, muscle loss or weakness, hot flashes and night sweats (women), poor sleep or insomnia, thinning hair, and decreased motivation. While these symptoms can have many causes, hormonal imbalance is one of the most common and treatable. The only way to know definitively is through comprehensive blood work. We recommend scheduling a consultation and baseline hormone panel if you are experiencing several of these symptoms - the labs will provide objective data on your hormonal status.
