Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Approximately 4.5 million men in America, experience the negative effects of low Testosterone, according to the FDA.

5% of those men, ever seek treatment! National surveys also reveal that only 5% of post menopausal women are seeking treatment and getting REAL relief, with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT). This is insanity!

The purpose of BHRT is to help men and women who experience declines or imbalances in their hormone levels to restore those levels back to optimal healthy levels. BHRT is commonly used to treat menopause (Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy) and perimenopause in women and andropause (low Testosterone) in men.

BHRT is also ideal to treat many other hormone imbalance scenarios such as PCOS, infertility, weight gain, sleep problems, abnormal lipids (such as LDL and cholesterol) and risk factors for heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s. Hormone specialists provide Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy with pellets, patches, pills, gels, creams or injections. BHRT is designed to be easily absorbed by the body since it matches your chemical profile. “Bioidentical” means that the hormones used in the therapy are chemically identical to those naturally produced in your body.

What Are Hormones?

Hormones are our chemical messengers secreted through glands in our endocrine system. These chemicals, which are produced in our bodies naturally, under normal conditions, are sent via the bloodstream, to our organs and tissues. Vital bodily processes are regulated by these hormones.

As we age, hormone levels typically start to fluctuate and decline in all of us. These fluctuations cause multiple biochemical processes in our body to slow down, and our hormone receptors also become less sensitive to the hormones that we produce. For women, the onset of perimenopause causes a significant drop in Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone. The same happens to Testosterone in men. These fluctuations can cause many annoying symptoms and leave patients unprotected from Alzheimer’s, cancers, heart disease and stroke.

Replenishing your body with Bioidentical hormones rebalances levels, restoring patients’ quality of life, reducing negative symptoms and protecting your body’s health. There is no reason to suffer unwanted symptoms of age related hormone imbalance, succumbing to the waning effects on your body and life. Instead, you can retain quality of life and enjoy all stages of aging.

Who Is BHRT For?

As your body naturally responds to aging and our hormone levels become skewed, you may want to speak with a hormone specialist about what BHRT can do for you. Outside of just aging, hormone levels can fluctuate because of illnesses, environmental factors, reactions to medicine and medical procedures, and even diet.

The decline in estrogen and progesterone levels can lead to the following symptoms in females:

• Hot flashes
• Low sex drive
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Problems sleeping
• Weight gain
• Loss of muscle mass
• Memory loss
• Brain fog
• Vaginal dryness

Male testosterone’s decline can bring on negative symptoms, such as:

• Low sex drive
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Problems sleeping
• Weight gain
• Loss of muscle mass
• Memory loss
• Brain fog

Little do many people know that the cause of these symptoms is usually dysregulated hormones, and the solution is often as simple as balancing and optimizing these hormone levels. That is where consulting a BHRT expert comes in.

What Are The Benefits?

Main BHRT Benefits:

• Mitigate/Eliminate Symptoms: Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve to enjoy your golden years free from fatigue, cognitive issues, and muscle weakness. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can counteract the effects of aging.
• Boost Immune Systeme: Many studies have shown that estrogen is an important factor in the female immune response. BHRT can reverse the changes to the immune system in women after a hysterectomy. 
• Reverse Age-Related Diseases: Aging affects us all, but we all know elders who are as sharp as a whip even into their old age. Women entering menopause are at risk for age-related diseases like heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and osteoporosis.

Is It For Everyone?

Mitigation of Symptoms:  You no longer need to suffer from fatigue, cognitive issues and muscle weakness, as you age.  BHRT addresses all 3 of these age related concerns.

Boost Immune System: Many studies have shown that properly balanced and optimized hormones are an important factor in the immune response. BHRT can restore the vitality of the immune system in women after menopause and in men after andropause.

Reverse Age-Related Diseases: Aging affects us all, but we all know elders who are as sharp as a whip even into their old age. Women entering menopause and men entering andropause are at significantly increased risk for age related diseases, like heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and osteoporosis. BHRT improves your risk of not being afflicted with these maladies.
