Many individuals experience a decline in vital hormones as they age, leading to undesirable symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels to relieve symptoms and promote wellbeing.
Wellness Hormone Clinic in Kenai, Alaska provides comprehensive care involving bioidentical hormones to help patients regain health, vitality and an overall sense of wellness. We offer cutting-edge therapies centered around the unique needs of each individual patient.
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have a molecular structure identical to those produced naturally in the human body. They are derived from plant sources and are biologically equivalent to endogenous hormones, meaning they can bind to hormone receptors and elicit effects similar to naturally-made hormones.
Bioidentical hormones like those prescribed at Wellness Hormone Clinic mirror natural hormones more closely than widely-used synthetic versions. Synthetics often contain slightly altered structures that may not fully bind hormone receptors or metabolize well in the body. Thus, bioidentical hormones can relieve deficiency symptoms with improved safety and efficacy over synthetics for many patients.
There are a variety of signs and symptoms that can indicate hormone insufficiencies. Common manifestations across several hormone systems are highlighted below:
Estrogen Deficiency: - Hot flashes - Vaginal dryness - Loss of skin elasticity - Mood changes like irritability - Difficulty sleeping
Progesterone Deficiency: - Irregular menstrual cycles - Low libido - Heavy menstrual bleeding - Fibrocystic breasts - Infertility
Testosterone Deficiency: - Loss of muscle mass - Increased body fat - Low energy levels - Reduced bone density - Erectile dysfunction
Thyroid Hormone Deficiency: - Unexpected weight gain - Constant fatigue - Hair loss - Memory loss or brain fog - Muscle weakness
Many patients struggle with frustrating symptoms for years before receiving bioidentical hormone therapy. However, restoring balance earlier maximizes benefits and minimizes long-term effects of deficiencies.
Untreated declines in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone or thyroid hormones substantially raise risks for several concerning health conditions over time:
Additionally, living with uncomfortable menopause or andropause symptoms greatly diminishes one’s quality of life on a day-to-day basis. Wellness Hormone Clinic specializes in early intervention to optimize wellness through personalized bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to the unique needs of Kenai residents.
Our practitioners have advanced training in complex hormone imbalances to uncover root causes and find solutions when simple approaches prove inadequate. We help frustrated patients who have failed standard treatments from regular physicians and dispense onsite custom compounded bioidentical hormones for maximum effectiveness.
Hormone balance is highly individual with acceptable ranges varying tremendously between people. We conduct advanced hormone panel testing to identify deficiencies and determine the optimal dosage of bioidentical hormones for your body’s needs. Follow-up assessments ensure continual balance.

Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 regulate metabolism, body temperature, weight, energy levels and more. Deficiencies manifest as stubborn weight gain, cold sensitivity, fatigue and other symptoms. We provide individually balanced ratios of bioidentical T3/T4 as part of complete thyroid treatment based on testing.
Available as bioidentical topical creams, gels or pellets, we precisely prescribe estrogen in ratios with other reproductive hormones to alleviate moderate to severe menopause symptoms keeping women healthy as they age.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen throughout the menstrual cycle for regular periods, fertile cervical fluid and successful pregnancies. We offer bioidentical progesterone in multiple formats to ease missing periods, PCOS, infertility and peri/post-menopause.
Testosterone treats low libido, sexual dysfunction, depleted muscle mass, weight gain and motivational issues in both men and women. Wellness Hormone Clinic provides testosterone as bioidentical injectables, gels and creams per patient needs.
Bioidentical DHEA improves energy, immunity, cognition, bone strength, sexual health and physical performance as the body’s decline of this vital precursor hormone can lead to accelerated aging changes.
More than just regulating sleep cycles, melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. Supplemental bioidentical melatonin leads to enhanced immune function, neuroprotection, weight control and natural anti-aging benefits.
Deficiencies in growth hormone underlie undesirable changes like increased fat, less muscle mass and bone density as we age. Sermorelin is a highly effective bioidentical growth hormone stimulant injection for improved strength, body composition, injury healing and reduced inflammation.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. The term "bioidentical" is marketing language with no standard meaning, as the compounds are not identical to endogenous human hormones and have not been rigorously tested for long-term safety.
Beginning bioidentical hormone replacement first involves comprehensive lab testing to accurately identify deficient hormones for treatment. After reviewing results, your Wellness Hormone Clinic practitioner will make individualized recommendations for bioidentical hormone therapy specifically tailored to your needs and lifestyle. They can describe available options for estrogen, testosterone and other vital hormones along with timing considerations for those still menstruating.
Most patients start noticing positive impacts on energy, sleep, sexual health, body composition and mood within the first 1-2 months of properly balanced bioidentical hormone therapy. Follow up assessments help adjust dosages over time to keep your levels optimized. To further augment your results, we also provide nutrition and fitness guidance customized to compliment your bioidentical hormones.
Wellness Hormone Clinic handles all aspects of treatment under one roof for your convenience. We order and interpret initial plus follow-up lab tests, formulate custom compounded bioidentical hormone therapies specific to your deficiencies, teach you how to properly use prescribed hormones and work closely with you to track progress towards your wellness goals.
