Hormones and Aging
As we age, the quantities of hormones produced and how organs respond to them change. Hormonal changes can lead to imbalances that significantly impact the quality of life in both women and men.
Hormones and Environmental Factors
External and internal elements can affect how people respond to hormones. For example, the longer we expose ourselves to environmental toxins and substandard diets, the more susceptible we become to hormonal imbalance. Autoimmune conditions can also play a part in hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal Imbalance
Most people over 40 experience hormonal imbalance to some degree. These manifest differently for everyone, but some of the most common problems include:
- Lowered energy, exhaustion, chronic fatigue
- Mood swings and memory problems
- Erectile dysfunction
- Lowered sex drive
- Weight gain
- Decrease in muscle mass
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Poor sleep
- Thinning hair, dry skin
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
BHRT uses manufactured hormones chemically identical to those our bodies make. We prescribe all forms of BHRT: topical creams, injections, pellets, vaginal applications and oral formulations depending on patient’s specific needs and preferences.
BHRT Demands Expertise
BHRT requires a highly-trained physician. Because every patient’s biological needs are unique, it is essential to use an expert to test, evaluate, and address hormonal needs.
Treatment
We believe that BHRT should be administered alongside a treatment plan that prioritizes a patient’s health journey, including:
- A nutritious diet
- An active lifestyle
- Adequate sleep
- A doctor-approved medication or supplement regimen
- Ongoing consultations
