Women’s Hormone Replacement and Optimization

Hormones play an essential role in overall immune system well-being and help protect us from diseases and conditions such as osteoporosis and heart disease, among others. After the age of 30, most people will experience an imbalance of hormones. The decline can be anywhere from 3%-10% per year! Through careful restoration of proper hormone balance, not only will it help alleviate the symptoms, but there is also measurable benefit to overall health and well-being. 

Many women have been told to just “deal with the symptoms” or “this is a normal part of life,” but we’re here to tell you that relief is in sight and overall health protection is our goal!

Do you find yourself experiencing any of the following symptoms?

Fatigue or lack of energy?

Unexpected weight-gain or trouble losing weight?

Decreased muscle mass?

Difficulty sleeping at night?

Hot flashes?

Anxiety, Depression, or On edge?

Brain Fog?

Decreased sexual desire and performance?

Menstrual migraines?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you may be suffering from a hormone imbalance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone and be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. You don’t have to “just live it” as many women are told. Not only does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offer relief in symptoms, but it can also be beneficial for overall health.

Estrogen is an incredibly important hormone for women. Research shows decreased estrogen can lead to health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, colon cancer, Parkinson's disease, and diabetes. Inadequate estrogen decreases the protection against such diseases.

Progesterone is another important hormone that declines with age. Having adequate progesterone will help decrease hot flashes, boosts mood, helps with libido, increases energy, and aids in sleep. Progesterone is also necessary when on estrogen replacement due to the protection it provides to the uterus.

Did you know women have testosterone too? Testosterone isn’t only a male hormone! In the female body it helps with muscle mass, libido, mental clarity, and weight management. The proper balance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone aid in stability in the brain and rest of the body.

Currently, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) delivered in the form of topical creams or troches (lozenges). Made from natural plant estrogens and testosterones. The hormones used in topical creams and troches are easily converted for use by the body resulting in quick absorption and relief of symptoms.

While BHRT replacement can be a “life changer” for many, it’s important to note that there are also lifestyle changes that can help with hormone imbalance. We are here to walk you through the important health changes that may be needed to help you be at your best!

There are many options when choosing BHRT and we want to make sure you get what you need and what works best for your lifestyle. We are continuing to research the safety of hormone pellets with plans to begin offering hormone pellets later this year.

We understand that you many have more questions and this can be overwhelming. Book you consultation today and we can develop the right plan for you.
