Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormonal Changes in Women

Why consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? Earlier in life, a woman’s body and her natural rhythms are usually regulated, both by her hormone levels and her menstrual cycle. As she nears menopause, her hormones naturally decline, and the ovaries decrease in function. This disrupts her bodily rhythm and decreases her quality of life. Hormone imbalances can cause weight gain, hot flashes, decreased strength and endurance and hair loss, as well as a loss of energy, mood swings and low sex drive.

Hormonal Changes in Men

Similar to women experiencing menopause, men also go through hormonal changes with age. They may experience a drop in testosterone known as andropause, caused by a significant decrease in testosterone. Testosterone deficiency accounts for many physical and emotional symptoms and can increase the chances of hair loss and diminished libido, as well as prostate, testicular and heart issues.

What Can Bioidentical Hormones Do For Me?

Bioidentical hormones restore your natural rhythm, without the same risks associated with synthetic hormone therapy. We work with men and women to create a rhythmic dosing, attenuated to the ebb and flow of each individual patient, as opposed to the static dosing used with synthetic hormones.

Are you experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance? Fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased libido can all be signs that your hormones are out of whack. Thankfully, there’s a solution that could bring harmony back to your body: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Understanding Bioidentical Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have an identical chemical structure to the hormones naturally produced by your body. They are derived from natural sources such as yams or soy, and are carefully formulated to match the molecular structure of human hormones. This remarkable similarity allows bioidentical hormones to be recognized and utilized by your body just like its own hormones, resulting in a more natural and balanced hormonal state.

Why Choose Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

  1. Safety: One of the primary reasons individuals opt for BHRT is its excellent safety profile. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources and are customized to suit your specific needs. This personalized approach helps reduce the risk of adverse side effects often associated with conventional hormone replacement therapies.
  2. Individualized Treatment: BHRT is tailored to your unique hormonal requirements. Through comprehensive testing, your healthcare provider can identify any deficiencies or imbalances in your hormone levels. This allows for precise dosing and adjustments, ensuring you receive the optimal amount of hormones your body needs for optimal functioning.
  3. Symptom Relief: By restoring hormonal balance, BHRT can alleviate a wide range of symptoms associated with hormone imbalances. Whether you’re struggling with hot flashes, sleep disturbances, or low energy levels, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help you regain control and improve your overall well-being.
  4. Long-Term Benefits: Beyond symptom relief, BHRT offers long-term benefits for your health. Hormonal imbalances, if left untreated, can increase the risk of various chronic conditions, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline. By restoring hormonal equilibrium, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may help reduce these risks and promote healthier aging.
