The hormonal structures govern multiple aspects of your overall health, bodily function, and well-being, including your emotions and sex drive. Hormonal imbalances can occur in men and women alike, whether resulting from stress, getting older, or having children. Hormonal imbalances commonly lead to symptoms including fatigue, decreased sex drive, trouble sleeping, and gaining weight. At Fontaine MD, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to improve your hormone levels and help you gain revitalizing breakthroughs in your mood, sexual desire, and mental acuity. To learn more about what bioidentical hormones can do for you, contact our San Diego, CA to plan a consultation with Dr. James D. Fontaine.

Bioidentical Hormones in San Diego, CA

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is frequently used to assist people who are suffering from diminished or unbalanced hormone levels. Typically, these problems are widespread in individuals who are older than 40 and observe changes in their mood, sexual performance, weight, and mental clarity. These issues might also be seen in females younger than 50 who have had a complete hysterectomy. A hormone imbalance may cause various medical problems, like erectile dysfunction, thyroid disease, high cholesterol levels, night perspiration, sleeping troubles, and memory loss.

I don’t give out 5 stars that often and especially to doctors.Had my fair share theses last two years having just recovered from throat cancer. Anyway , I found Dr.Fontaine to be very down to earth and friendly  which gave me a lot of confidence in him. I visited the facility to get the health check for anti aging and living forever pills . After a full review of my blood test it was decided more tests were needed. I really did not expect to hear from him much after that as my prognosis was not what I expected.To the contrary he followed up with e-mails of advice, another tele conference to go through more test and we have a plan in place to fight the normal aging issues of cholesterol, body fat etc while I deal with the extra tests I needed.The simple fact is that the blood test that Dr. Fontaine performed on me were more detailed than the ones your primary care physician does. Theses test found a problem that I probably would not have found for years and maybe by then it would have been too late. In short , probably saved my life. Wow

I cannot thank Dr. Fontaine and his terrific team enough. When I went to see him, my overall health was not what I would call "optimal." My initial tests revealed high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low testosterone, high inflammation and my thyroid was sub-optimal. After only three months, everything mentioned above is now either normal or optimal and, the best part is, I feel markedly better. I am early in my health journey and I am grateful to have Dr. Fontaine and his staff as my coaches.

Dr. Fontaine and his staff are phenomenal to work with. I have referred friends and family to him and they all say the same thing, they wish they knew about Fontaine MD sooner. The care, support, tough love and attention to my health that Dr Fontaine has shown is like none other. I highly recommend Fontaine MD for all your personal health and wellness needs.

Dr. Jim Fontaine is a great guy! I am a 72 year old male who has been seeing him for over a year to improve my wellness and overall health. He has provided supplements that have everything heading in the right direction. I would highly recommend Dr. Fontaine to anyone interested in improving their wellness!

My only regret about visiting Dr. Fontaine is that I didn't do it sooner. I didn't realize how bad I felt before until after a few months of treatment. The difference was staggering. I originally went because I felt tired constantly, stopped working out because I wasn't making any progress, felt demotivated, and had a hard time focusing at work. After a few months of balanced hormones, I literally feel like a new person. I wake up with an abundance of energy that lasts throughout the day, my body looks better, my workouts shed body fat and put on muscle more easily than they have in decades, and I feel motivated across every aspect of my career and personal life. It sounds too good to be true, but it's real. If you're a guy and you feel like you've lost something, you should seriously consider visiting and seeing if you can find it again.

About Us
How can bioidentical hormones help me?
A significant part of aging is due to the decline in hormone levels as you get older. You probably felt best when your hormones were at youthful levels. Optimizing hormones to youthful levels can make you feel better, restore youthful vitality, and delay many aging-related problems. Dr. Fontaine offers a comprehensive evaluation of your hormone levels and other pertinent labs to provide you with a customized healthy aging plan. With the optimization of hormone levels, men can improve their energy, sex drive, sleep, sexual function, and lean body weight while losing unwanted fat while decreasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Women can reduce symptoms of PMS and menopause or perimenopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, low sex drive, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, and low energy. Hormone treatment may also take preventive measures against diabetes, heart disease, and dementia.
What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are identical to the hormones your body produces. They provide a more natural approach to addressing hormonal imbalances. They’re made with plant chemicals extracted from soy and yams and then finely ground in a laboratory for better absorption in the body. Bioidentical hormones are available in various forms, including creams, patches, pellets, injections, and pills. Multiple medical studies document the safety of bioidentical hormone therapy. Dr. Fontaine can provide you with a custom hormone regimen to help you achieve optimal results.
Can bioidentical hormones help reduce menopause symptoms?
Yes, hormone therapy can help minimize symptoms related to menopause. Estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment for relieving hot flashes, night sweats, pain during intercourse, vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. Bioidentical estradiol is not the same as synthetic estrogen such as Premarin, which has many side effects and is responsible for the negative impression many have concerning hormones. There are many medical studies documenting the safety of bioidentical estradiol. Progesterone is prescribed in combination with estradiol as it has many health benefits, even in women who have had a hysterectomy. It is important to distinguish safe bioidentical Progesterone from synthetic Progesterone (Provera) as only the bioidentical form is safe. Women make testosterone naturally but in a smaller amount than men. Women often benefit from the optimization of testosterone levels as well.
Can bioidentical hormones help men?
Yes, hormone therapy can help men throughout the aging process as well. Just as women experience lower estrogen levels in their 40s or 50s, men can experience reduced testosterone levels — an occurrence known as andropause or sometimes referred to as “low T.” Hormone therapy can help minimize potential symptoms of andropause such as depressive moods, reduced sexual function, weight gain, and fatigue.
What about thyroid hormone?
The thyroid hormone is one of the most misunderstood hormones. Unless the physicians have special training, most will not understand how to optimize thyroid levels. It is important to have your thyroid optimized as thyroid hormone receptors are in almost every cell of your body. The thyroid is known as one of the “feel good” hormones. Optimization of the thyroid can help you feel more energetic and help with a variety of age-related health issues. Dr. Fontaine can prescribe bioidentical hormones to improve thyroid function.
