How do hormone levels affect the body?

Hormone levels can have a significant impact on your body’s health, wellness, and longevity. They can be given in various forms such as creams, gels, pills, patches, injectables or pellets. Estrogen is a crucial hormone in a woman's body with reproduction, uterine and breast function, bone protection, cognitive and cardiovascular health. For men it can influence libido and weight. Levels will change over time, but health and the environment can affect them as well. Progesterone plays a vital role in the female reproductive system regulating cycles and supporting pregnancy and lactation but also contributes to thyroid function regulation and mood improvement. Testosterone is a vital hormone for bone and muscle growth, sustaining male physical characteristics, regulating mood, and supporting sexual development. Also, small quantities in women help with bone and muscle strength, mood, sleep, and libido. As we age, levels decrease. Shifts in hormones can influence aspects of men’s and women’s health and wellbeing such as lower energy and sex drive, weight gain, mood changes and difficulty sleeping.

Do you need Bio-identical Hormones?

Have you experienced symptoms related to hormone imbalances such as: feeling fatigued? Gaining weight, especially in midsection? Trouble sleeping? Losing muscle mass, bone mass, or increased fractures? Decreased sex drive? Decline in memory or mental clarity? Depression or mood swings? Muscle tension, joint pain or headaches?

Are Bio-identical hormones safe?

It is important to understand how Bio-identical hormones differ from synthetic alternatives. Bio-identical hormones are specifically structured to closely mimic hormones naturally produced by your body, reducing risks of negative side effects commonly associated with pharmaceutical-grade synthetic hormones, especially with estrogen and progesterone. This can include breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, blood clots or breast cancer. Whether through pellets or other forms of Bioidentical hormones, they typically do not have adverse effects on blood pressure, lipid levels, blood sugar, liver enzyme levels or clotting factors. They also do not increase the risk of thrombosis or heart disease.

Specific methods and dosage depend on individual hormone levels, symptoms, and treatment goals.
