Hormone Health Experts
Aging is inevitable, and there are constant reminders of the fact that our bodies are changing and youth seems to be slipping away. Many of us experience symptoms like lack of energy, parched skin, temperature changes and loss of libido. As we age, our hormones become less effective and produce less of what helps to keep us youthful. Hormones affect both men and women and this is a natural process that all aging adults will face. The good news is that you can still achieve a quality of life by replenishing your deficient hormone levels with Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Naturally occurring hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are made by the body and are responsible for various functionalities of daily life. When our bodies produce less of these hormones often debilitating symptoms can develop. The severity of these symptoms is person dependent and vary greatly. This is why it is important to seek out professionals who specialize in BHRT to address exactly what your body needs specifically. BHRT is not a one size fits all treatment; it is specifically calculated to each patient.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically matched to those that our body produces. BHRT uses these hormones to lessen the symptoms caused by this natural deficiency. We take several factors into mind when deciding how BHRT will benefit you the most. We assess your health history, symptoms, and review your actual hormone levels. After reviewing this information, we will customize a treatment plan for you. The amount of time a person needs to continue BHRT is patient dependent. Sometimes people will do it for a short time, for instance, to get through menopause, while others will continue it just to maintain an excellent quality of life. Most importantly, you want a competent, experienced specialist to be the one to calculate your dosage and treatment plan.
There are synthetic options for hormone replacement, and these options are typically prescribed and forgotten. The approach for most synthetic hormone replacement therapy is one pill or patch and the same dosage for anyone. This is not the case, there are many things to discuss and consider with any type of hormone replacement therapy.
Consulting with an expert in the field is imperative to making the right choice for you. It is important to understand the differences between bioidentical and synthetic, the side effects and the risks involved in comparison to each other. Helping you to make an informed decision on what is best for your body and future is our goal.
