What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy uses identical forms of hormones that are naturally found in your body. These are utilized along the same metabolic pathways as the naturally produced hormones in your body. What’s great about these hormones is that they have fewer side effects when compared with synthetic ones. Usually, a blend of natural hormones works better than high doses of a single hormone.

What Does Age Have to do With Hormonal Imbalances?

Hormonal imbalances are possible at a younger age from exposure to toxins, excess fat, and if hormones have not matured properly. As we age, we often experience a myriad of symptoms such as chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping, decreased sex drive, as well as weight gain due to declining hormones. Oftentimes, hormone signals decline and metabolism slows down, leading to excess fat storage which compounds the problem further. Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness are also associated with hormonal changes.

How Do I Know If I Have a Hormonal Imbalance?

Testosterone, pregnenolone, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, and cortisol start to decline as we age. Bioidentical hormones replicate these hormones to limit health risks like an adverse reaction to the hormone pills. Andropause in men and menopause in women are very common causes of hormone imbalance. Cortisol excess and growth hormone decline are also evaluated. Fasting insulin is also tested.

If a hormone imbalance is indicated, a customized dosage of bio-identical progesterone, estradiol/estriol, testosterone, or DHEA may be administered. Other hormones such as cortisol, Vitamin D, and growth hormone can also be replenished. All of our patients are carefully monitored during hormone therapy and will be required to have their hormone levels checked every three to six months. Our doctors may also work with you to help you make diet and lifestyle changes that support your program.
