Bio-Identical Hormones

What Is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy? (BHRT)

Your body’s hormones control most of your bodily functions. They coordinate everything from digestion and growth to your appetite, immune function, mood, and libido. When your natural hormones are out of balance, it can have a big impact on your health and wellness. When your hormones drop or become unbalanced, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can be a very effective solution.

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can be used to treat men and women. Although, it is mainly used to treat menopause and andropause (male menopause), it may also help treat other conditions including:

osteoporosis
PMS
PCOS
Premenstrual Migraine

Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the major 3 hormones supported with bio-identical hormones therapy. Both the amount of the hormones and their balance with each other is of critical importance.

Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is typically used to support declining and imbalanced hormones. While normal aging is associated with decrease in hormone levels in men and women, some people experience symptoms that can be quite debilitating, including:

hot flashes
mood swings
memory loss
weight gain
sleep issues
loss of interest in sex or pain during sex

Hormone replacement therapy may also reduce your risk for diabetes, osteoporosis, tooth loss, and cataracts. It may even help improve your skin’s condition, hydration, elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. In addition, hormones support your brain health.

B.H.R.T. comes in a variety of forms. We use the following:

creams & gels

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great option to help people who have symptoms associated with hormone levels that are low or otherwise unbalanced.

Menopause and Andropause

Menopause and Andropause are natural conditions that everyone will face eventually. In the case of menopause, around the age of fifty, a woman’s ovaries stop producing the hormones that have been keeping her body young, strong, and healthy. The same thing happens to men in Andropause. Only with men it is not as sudden. Lack of these vital hormones is the major reason for the weakness and frailty that happens as we age. Our treatments combine effective natural therapeutics, nutritional interventions, and bio-identical hormone therapy when appropriate. Replacing the hormones as they become deficient is one of the best things to do to stay strong and vital as we get older.
