Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy / Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT/BHT)
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy, or Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT/BHT) is a form of hormone therapy that involves using Bioidentical hormones that are derived from natural sources and are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, or BHRT involves the use of the most common hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid) to supplement or replace hormones that may be deficient or imbalanced in the body.
At Natural & Holistic Medical Center we use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to restore hormones back to optimal levels and alleviate symptoms associated with hormone imbalances & deficiencies. (This can include symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, fatigue, heavy bleeding, weight gain, hair loss, anxiety, and insomnia). Regulated hormones are the best defense against disease, illness, and aging .
The benefits of BHRT/BHT can vary depending on the individual and their specific hormone imbalances or deficiencies. Most common benefits proven to help from BHRT can include:
Decreased menopausal symptoms: BHRT can help alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness associated with menopause.
Improved bone health: BHRT, particularly estrogen therapy, can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Increased energy levels: Hormone imbalances can cause fatigue and low energy levels. BHRT aims to restore hormone levels to improve overall energy and vitality.
Enhanced libido: BHRT can help improve sexual function and desire by balancing hormone levels.
Improved mood and mental clarity: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to mood swings, depression, and cognitive difficulties. BHRT may help stabilize mood and improve mental clarity.
Bioidentical Hormone therapy (BHRT) can be administered in various forms, including
Creams
Injections
Pellets
Orally (gels, tablets, capsules, patches)
Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone pellet therapy is a treatment for replacing or regulating hormones in males and females, either with forms of estrogen or testosterone or with a combination of hormones.
HPT is an alternative to using oral medication or cream. A minor incision is made and the pellets are placed beneath the skin to be absorbed as needed. The incision heals quickly, making the therapy a relatively easy procedure.
The subcutaneous pellets act as a reservoir of hormones, allowing the body to receive a consistent dose throughout the day and night. The pellets gradually absorb until they are completely dissolved, leaving no residue. Typically, a woman will find that pellets will control symptoms for 3-5 months. Because of the efficient and gradual delivery system of the hormone pellets, side effects are less likely than with oral or injectable hormones, and there is less incidence of issues related to poor absorption, sometimes problematic with hormone creams, gels, or patches.
Estrogen hormone therapy is a treatment that involves taking estrogen to help with symptoms of menopause or other hormonal imbalances. Estrogen is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and is responsible for female characteristics such as breast development and regulation of the menstrual cycle. You take the medication to replace the estrogen that your body stops producing as we age.
Menopause is a natural process that occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop producing eggs, which means that her body produces less estrogen. Low estrogen levels can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, brain fog, moodiness, depression, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, low libido, dry skin, and headaches. Estrogen therapy can help to alleviate these symptoms by increasing and replacing the estrogen levels the body is no longer producing. Can also help reduced risk of cardiac disease and stroke, dementia, diabetes, and loss of bone density leading to osteoporosis
Testosterone is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and is responsible for male characteristics such as muscle mass, bone density, and body hair. Low testosterone levels can cause symptoms such as decreased sex drive, fatigue, and depression. Testosterone therapy can help to alleviate these symptoms by replacing and increasing testosterone levels in the body.
Andropause is a natural part of the aging process as men get older, the level of testosterone in the body and production of sperm gradually becomes lower. Men experience physical and psychological symptoms as a result of these low levels. It is estimated that testosterone decreases about 10% every decade after men reach the age of 30. Common symptoms of andropause include low sex drive, lack of energy, depression, loss of strength of muscle, increased body fat and even hot flashes. If you have any of these symptoms do not hesistate to contact us at natural and holistic medical center and we will get you back on track.
Progesterone is a female hormone important for the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. Low Progesterone may lead to irregular menstrual cycles and even effect the ability for a woman to conceive. If you are having trouble conceiving or are having hormonal balance issues we can help.
-Progesterone is important for regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the uterus for pregnancy.
-Progesterone therapy can help to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and irregular periods. It can also be used to treat conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids.
Thyroid to help with symptoms of an underactive thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism and other bodily functions. The Thyroid is a gland in your neck that is shaped like a butterfly. It’s function is to take iodine, found in many foods, and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are essential to your bodies metabolism.
An underactive thyroid gland can cause a number of symptoms.
