Many individuals experience frustrating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and sleep disturbances as they get older. These issues often arise due to declining hormone levels that occur naturally with age. Fortunately, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels to promote better health, wellbeing, and vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced naturally in the body. They are sourced from plant extracts and tailored to match each person's individual hormone levels and needs. At Harmony Hormone Clinic in East Providence, we provide customized bioidentical hormone replacement to help both men and women overcome the challenges of hormonal imbalance.
Synthetic hormones are not structurally identical to human hormones. As a result, synthetic hormones like birth control pills or Premarin can create unwanted side effects. In contrast, bioidentical hormones offer a natural treatment option that works in harmony with the body.
Customized bioidentical hormone therapy provides solutions to hormone deficiency that promote better health from head to toe. Patients often report improvements in:
In short, balanced hormones lead to better health and an improved quality of life. Our customized bioidentical hormone therapy gets your hormones back on track to work for you, not against you.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our hormone health experts at Harmony Hormone Clinic. We take time to understand your unique health history, symptoms, and goals. Recommended lab testing gives us a clear picture of any hormone imbalances. Once we receive your test results, we create a customized treatment plan using bioidentical hormones specially formulated for your needs.
Ongoing follow-ups and testing allow us to adjust your dosage and delivery methods until hormone levels reach optimal ranges. We take a holistic approach and may also recommend lifestyle, diet and supplement strategies to complement your treatment.
Bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded hormones derived from plant sources that are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. While they have become a popular alternative treatment for menopause symptoms, large clinical trials establishing their long-term safety and efficacy compared to traditional hormone therapy are still lacking.
The wide array of bioidentical hormones allows us to address deficiencies associated with aging and health conditions in both men and women. Some of the most common hormones we prescribe include:
Testosterone deficiency contributes to loss of strength, stamina and muscle mass in men. Low testosterone also reduces sex drive, performance and enjoyment. Normalizing testosterone levels reverses these effects.
Declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause leads to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, anxiety and disrupted sleep. Restoring estrogen brings welcome relief from these debilitating symptoms.
Progesterone has calming, sleep-promoting effects. It balances the stimulating properties of estrogen. Low progesterone aggravates menopause symptoms and makes PMS worse. Optimizing progesterone eases these hormone-driven issues.
DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the body and critical for energy, immunity, mood, bone strength, cardiovascular health and more. DHEA levels plummet with age, resulting in accelerated aging and disease risk. Replacing DHEA helps turn back time.
Even minor thyroid hormone deficiency slows metabolism, triggers weight gain and causes fatigue despite adequate sleep. Getting thyroid levels ideal again eliminates these nagging problems.
Melatonin regulates healthy sleep-wake cycles. Supplementing with bioidentical melatonin improves sleep quality without habit formation or grogginess.
Harmony Hormone Clinic offers a diversity of treatment options to fit your lifestyle and needs:
We work together to identify your ideal delivery methods and dosing schedule. Self-administered options offer convenience, while pellets and injections provide maximum consistency with less frequent dosing.

Fatigue, stubborn weight gain, low libido, night sweats, hot flashes, irritability, anxiety, brain fog, trouble sleeping, thinning hair, dry skin, and muscle loss can all signal hormone issues. Even subtle imbalances cause disruptions.
We recommend testing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, insulin, cortisol, vitamin D, and other hormone-related markers. Comprehensive testing gives us data to evaluate where your levels fall short.
Most patients report significant benefits within the first 1-3 months. Optimal effects often take 6-12 months as we fine-tune your dosage and get all hormones balanced. Enhancements accumulate over time.
