Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Therapy
Every aspect of your well-being is dictated by the all-important levels of your body's hormones. Unfortunately, aging can cause hormone levels to dip below the optimal range, creating a ripple effect that has profound influences on your mental health, physical strength and sex life. At MenRegen, our expert staff specializes in fighting the effects of aging for men through the use of bioidentical hormone optimization, or BIHO. Also known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, BIHO can restore your hormones to optimal levels, allowing you to be the best version of yourself.

What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are created using a molecular formula identical to the body's naturally-produced hormones. Levels of hormones like testosterone naturally decrease with age, often resulting in a lowered sexual appetite, erectile dysfunction (ED), reduced muscle mass and reduced energy levels. By managing your body's hormones with bioidentical hormone medication, we can restore them to a healthy range and help you achieve a healthier body and more youthful appearance.
The goal of BIHO is to maintain hormone harmony using prescription medication tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our team will work with you to create a multi-faceted program that meets your health goals and successfully manages the effects aging is having on your mental and physical well-being. We will perform comprehensive testing to identify your current hormone levels and determine the optimum dosage needed to replenish them. We can then track your progress, review test results and make adjustments throughout your treatment to ensure you experience the best outcome possible.
Aging is inevitable, but how well you age is up to you. Restoring deficient hormones to optimal levels results in more energy, a better memory, a healthier heart, better sexual performance, stronger bones and a more youthful appearance.
How Does BIHO Work?
BIHO works by replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions that are molecularly identical to those your body produces naturally. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to mimic the exact chemical structure of human hormones.
Dr. Zakany will begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms and a detailed blood panel to establish your baseline hormone levels. Based on these results, he will create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific deficiencies.
Treatment may include testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, or other bioidentical compounds depending on your individual needs. Dosages are carefully calibrated and monitored with regular follow-up testing to ensure optimal results.
How Much Does BIHO Cost?
The Comprehensive Male Panel costs about $250 and includes the following tests: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel; CBC; Lipid Panel; TSH; T3, free; T4, free; Testosterone, free & total; Estradiol; PSA; SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin); IGF-1; LH; FSH; Ferritin; DHEA-S; and CRP-hs.
What Are the Benefits of Testosterone
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and sexual function. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline — a process known as andropause — which can lead to fatigue, depression, reduced libido, and cognitive decline.
Testosterone optimization through BIHO has been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, arthritis and degenerative joint change. TRT can have a positive influence on your sense of well-being and counteract depressive moods that are often frequent during andropause (male menopause).
Additionally, testosterone optimization has also been shown to improve memory. Men who receive testosterone optimization consistently report that they feel stronger, younger, healthier and more confident. Patients often state that restoring their testosterone to optimal levels makes them feel as they did when they were in the prime of their youth.
The decision to start TRT is a personal and complex decision. There are many well-documented beneficial effects of maintaining a youthful level of testosterone, and we believe that the preponderance of evidence supports its use in most aging men.
