Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminished hormones with bioidentical versions can alleviate these issues.
Hormone therapy involves prescribing hormones in forms that precisely match those secreted by the ovaries and testes before reduction related to aging and menopause. The subtle biochemical differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormones are vital. Synthetic hormones may fail to offer the proper fit for the body's hormone receptors.
The first step is diagnosing which hormones are low through an in-depth assessment of signs and symptoms.
Some characteristic clues of hormone deficiency include:
For women:
For men:
Blood tests and saliva tests precisely measure hormone levels to establish which are lagging. Correct diagnosis guides customized treatments for optimal wellness.
Several hormones commonly decline; those frequently replaced include:
Regulates the menstrual cycle and reproductive system; influences cardiovascular, bone, and brain health.
Works synergistically with estrogen for reproductive system stability; calms mood; promotes restful sleep; regulates blood sugar.
Maintains muscle mass; supports sexual desire and performance; bolsters energy, endurance and cardiovascular health.
Controls metabolism and energy balance; mood regulation; weight management; cardiac and gastrointestinal function.
Serves as the building block for key sex steroid hormones; lifts energy, immunity, cardiovascular health; enhances mood and sleep.
Bioidentical hormones come in pills, sublingual drops, transdermal patches and creams, vaginal inserts, or injectables. Personalized therapy is designed around the hormone(s) involved, level of decline, and preference for delivery method.
Monitoring therapy over time via follow-up bloodwork ensures continued balance. Hormone levels fluctuate, so dosing may need occasional adjusting for sustained results.
Licensed physicians specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapies (BHRT) determine the right hormones, combinations, doses and delivery methods for each unique patient.
While family doctors may rx standard synthetic hormone drugs, optimal hormone balancing involves an individualized approach.
Anti-aging and integrative physicians excel at customizing regimens for unparalleled safety and efficacy. Holistic hormone correction normalizes levels, resolves troublesome signs and symptoms, and helps patients thrive again.
Complementary tactics amplify improvements:
Putting off evaluating bothersome issues risks declining health over time. Failing to recognize and resolve hormone loss leads to worsening symptoms that erode day-to-day function and wellness.
Seeking personalized care promptly improves quality of life as optimal balance is renewed.
Untreated hormone depletion allows:
Whereas timely testing, detection and therapy halts this deterioration and resolves these concerns through targeted correction of imbalances.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. They come from plants, but require chemical processing similar to synthetic hormones. More research is still needed to compare health effects over the long term.
