Hormone Balance Is Vital To Your Health
As men and women age, many suffer from symptoms caused by decreasing levels of reproductive hormones.
Both men and women can have unique hormonal problems.
Symptoms Of Hormone Imbalance In Women
Women can have the following symptoms of hormone imbalance:
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Fuzzy thinking
- Decreased sex drive
- Headaches
- Weight gain
Symptoms Of Hormone Imbalance In Men
Men can have the following symptoms of hormone imbalance:
- Poor sleep
- Difficulty maintaining erections
- Withdrawal
- Increased body fat
- Depression
- Lack of sex drive
- Irritability
Both men and women often complain of fatigue, memory problems, headaches, and relationship issues. Although these complaints and the ones listed above are frequently treated with prescription drugs to mask the symptoms, the true underlying causes are not adequately addressed.
The absence or imbalance of certain hormones has been found to often be the primary cause of these symptoms. As we age, our bodies become less efficient in producing proper levels of natural hormones critical for body function. An unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, and toxins cause molecular stress inside our bodies and can lead to serious hormonal imbalances.
With minimal intervention, a functional medicine / integrative medicine physician can help patients with hormonal deficiencies regain their health and vitality!
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses hormones that are identical on the molecular level to the hormones in your body.
Hormone levels are tested throughout the process to determine the proper balance. Hormone modulation medicine emphasizes restoring hormones to normal, acceptable, healthy levels and returning your body to good health.
How Does The Body Respond Differently To Bioidentical Hormones?
- The body recognizes them as natural. This enables them to bind appropriately to the same receptors as their human counterparts.
- Bioidentical hormones produce the same physiologic responses as their human counterparts. Thus, bioidenticals can provide vital support to the body's organs, tissues, and cells.
- Additionally, bioidenticals can be compounded to meet the DOSAGE NEEDS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. That isn't always possible with mass-produced pharmaceutical synthetics.
How Are Bioidentical Hormones Made?
Bioidentical hormones are completely natural. They are plant-based hormone substances, made from soy and yams and precisely match the molecular structure and function of human hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is available for men and women in various forms including creams, troches, pills, and injections.
