Bioidentical hormones are identical in chemical structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones can help alleviate symptoms and promote better health.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may benefit men and women whose lab tests show a hormone imbalance or deficiency. Ideal candidates include:
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms of hormone imbalance to determine if BHRT is right for you.
Declining estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and emotional changes. Bioidentical estradiol and progesterone creams, pills or pellets can help replenish hormones to minimize these effects.
Key benefits may include:
Balancing both estrogen and progesterone is important for mood regulation, bone health and more. Talk to your practitioner about hormonal balance specific to your needs.
In addition to estrogen and progesterone decline during menopause, some women also experience drops in testosterone levels. Low testosterone in women may cause symptoms like:
Bioidentical testosterone therapy, available as creams, pills or pellets, can effectively treat low levels and help women feel more like themselves again.
As men age, testosterone production begins to slow down, causing “Low T” (low testosterone) symptoms like:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) feeds the body supplemental testosterone to bring levels back up to an optimal range. When delivered through bioidentical hormones tailored to the individual, improvements can be significant.
Clinical studies show that TRT can lead to wide-ranging benefits for men with low testosterone levels, including:
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally occurring in the human body. Some research indicates they may provide a more natural hormonal balance with less risk of side effects compared to synthetic versions, but more studies are still needed to confirm this potential benefit.
