Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective treatment using hormones that are identical to the hormones naturally made by your body. BHRT has transformed the healthcare of men and women as they enter the later stages of life, when natural hormone production tends to taper off.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help you experience:

  • Calmer, more stable moods
  • Reduced body fat
  • Increased energy levels
  • Higher sex drive
  • Stronger mental clarity
  • Improved muscle tone and mass

The interest in a more natural approach to hormone therapy has focused attention on bioidentical hormones—hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the natural ones produced by men and women. While not found in this form in nature, they are derived and made from plant compounds, such as yam and soy extractions. Bioidentical hormone therapy is often called “natural hormone therapy” because these hormones mimic the body’s hormones.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, the answer is BHRT… using the best and most effective method of delivery—pellet implants.

  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Weight Gain
  • Low Sex Drive
  • Night Sweats
  • Loss of Energy
  • Depression
  • Mental Fog
  • Insomnia
  • Lack of Motivation

Is Hormone Therapy Right for You?

Menopause is a normal, natural event associated with decreased ovarian function, which results in lower levels of naturally occurring ovarian hormones. Other terms such as pre-menopause, perimenopause and postmenopause describe specific time periods that take place before, during and after this natural part of the aging process.

Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen has been identified as the most efficient treatment for hot flashes and vaginal dryness, which may begin at the onset of menopausal symptoms. Numerous published studies also support bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), consisting of estrogen and testosterone, to manage menopausal symptoms, reverse and prevent future medical issues resulting from hormone loss and offer other potential medical benefits, such as osteoporosis.

Many women are unaware that their bodies make and need testosterone to function properly. Although the amount of testosterone women require is less compared to men, research demonstrates that testosterone has potentially over 3,000 beneficial applications in the female body. In a woman’s early thirties, testosterone production begins to decline until the onset of menopause. At age forty, a woman generally has half the testosterone as a 21-year old female. The three phases of menopause cause all hormonal production to fluctuate.

BHRT is an individualized treatment designed to restore hormone levels. Research indicates that the use of BHRT with pellet implants is a safe and efficient method of hormone delivery in both women and men.

Testosterone is essential for healthy male body function. It increases interest in sexual activity, maintains muscle and bone, helps preserve normal oil secretion in the skin and hair, and both, directly and indirectly, affects parts of the brain that are responsible for normal mental processes, concentration, and mood. Additionally, testosterone is necessary for optimal heart and artery health.

Andropause, the male equivalent to menopause in women, is an imbalance in normal hormone levels, namely testosterone, affecting all men to various degree as they age. When abundant, testosterone promotes energy, strength, stamina, and sexuality. When deficient, testosterone can be a precursor to disease and early demise.

Testosterone therapy can improve the overall health and well-being of aging men by improving sex drive, mental function, and energy levels while reducing the risk of cardiovascular and associated diseases.

Testosterone therapy with pellets has become a highly sought-after method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in men, as it mimics the body’s natural secretion process of testosterone. Testosterone pellets are a compounded, bioidentical form of natural testosterone and are implanted beneath the skin. The implanted testosterone pellets slowly dissolve over a period of four to six months, releasing a safe and consistent amount of testosterone into the body.
