Our hormones play a crucial role in regulating many aspects of health and wellbeing. Imbalances can lead to unpleasant signs and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels, thereby alleviating deficiency signs and improving health. Potential benefits include:
Bioidentical estrogens and progesterone may reduce hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, and mood changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.
Optimal melatonin and growth hormone levels support healthy sleep cycles. Bioidentical hormone therapy can restore these hormones.
Balancing cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, and growth hormone with bioidentical hormones can improve energy, reduce fatigue, and support metabolism.
In both men and women, bioidentical testosterone and growth hormone balance can promote weight loss and increased lean muscle mass.
Estrogen and testosterone play a key role in bone formation and density. Bioidentical therapy may prevent osteoporosis.
Bioidentical testosterone can increase libido and sexual satisfaction in both men and women.
Bioidentical hormones are synthetic formulas engineered in a lab to have the exact same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind perfectly to hormone receptors and mimic the action of endogenous hormones.
Common bioidentical hormones include:
These are available in FDA-approved, pharmacy-grade formulas for therapy.
Since hormone levels fluctuate based on age, gender, and individual factors, assessing deficiencies requires specialized blood, saliva, or urine tests. Based on test results and symptoms, doctors can determine if bioidentical hormones could help restore optimal balance.
Ongoing monitoring ensures ideal dosing on an individualized basis over time.
While bioidentical hormones show promise for alleviating unpleasant signs and symptoms of imbalance, restoring wellbeing, and preventing age-related diseases, therapy protocols should always be carefully guided by a trained medical professional based on the unique needs of each patient. Lifestyle approaches can also promote healthy hormone levels.
