HORMONAL OPTIMISATION
Hormonal Optimization at SOMA: The Path to Vitality and Longevity
HORMONAL OPTIMISATION
At SOMA, we specialize in hormonal optimization, a cornerstone of our holistic approach to wellness and longevity. Recognizing the pivotal role of hormones in maintaining optimal health, we focus on restoring and balancing the body’s natural hormonal levels, particularly targeting the thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones. Our commitment to safety and efficacy is reflected in our exclusive use of bioidentical hormones, avoiding synthetic analogues known for their adverse effects.
Bioidentical Hormones
A Natural Solution
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the body, ensuring seamless integration and function without the deleterious effects associated with synthetic alternatives. Studies have shown that synthetic progesterones, or progestins, can have carcinogenic effects and contribute to a range of health issues, whereas bioidentical hormones are associated with a lower risk profile and improved patient outcomes.

Evidence-Based Practice:
Research underscores the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in managing symptoms of menopause, andropause, and hormonal imbalances, highlighting its role in enhancing quality of life and reducing disease risk. For instance, the Postmenopausal Estrogen/Progestin Interventions (PEPI) trial and subsequent studies have demonstrated the superiority of bioidentical hormones in cardiovascular health, bone density, and overall well-being compared to their synthetic counterparts.
Hormonal Balancing Across Life Stages
Our expertise extends to managing hormonal transitions and imbalances across various life stages, from pre-menopause to post-menopause, as well as identifying and addressing conditions such as hidden andropause and high estrogen levels. By optimizing hormonal levels, we aim to improve mental, bone, skin, heart, muscular, hair, and brain health, acknowledging the profound impact of hormones on the body’s systemic function.

Progesterone and Pregnenolone Optimization:
We offer specialized formulations of progesterone and pregnenolone oils, crafted without preservatives to ensure maximum bioavailability and efficacy. These formulations are designed to bypass first-pass liver metabolism, reducing the risk of conversion to potentially harmful estrogen metabolites and enhancing the therapeutic benefits of hormone optimization.
The Necessity of Hormonal Optimization in Modern Life
Modern lifestyles, characterized by constant stress and competition, can significantly strain the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances that affect vitality, productivity, and longevity. Hormonal optimization, therefore, is not merely a therapeutic intervention but a necessity for maintaining peak performance and well-being in today’s fast-paced world.

Scientific Consensus:
The global scientific community acknowledges the critical role of hormones in preserving youthfulness, energy, and health. Fine-tuning hormonal levels through BHRT has been shown to positively impact productivity, quality of life, lifespan, and disease-free years, offering a proactive approach to aging and health management.
Safety and Efficacy of Bioidentical Hormones
Our dedication to using natural and bioidentical hormones is rooted in a wealth of evidence highlighting the risks associated with synthetic hormone replacement. Bioidentical hormones provide a safe alternative, closely mimicking the body’s endogenous hormones and supporting natural physiological processes without the adverse effects linked to synthetic versions.
