Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Feel Like Yourself Again

As women age, production of body hormones diminishes. You may find you have less energy to get yourself through the day, or a general lack of motivation and focus. You might experience unexplained weight gain, loss of muscle mass, or even a decreased libido. While many of these symptoms on their own are often attributed to the natural aging process for women, living with multiple of these symptoms can also be a sign that the hormone levels in your body have dropped or become imbalanced.

Hormones control most basic bodily functions in both men and women, such as growth, digestion and appetite, immune function, your mood and your sex drive. When hormone levels become out of balance or drop even slightly, it can have a drastic impact on your overall health and well-being.

At Body Symmetry MD, we understand how detrimental these symptoms can be and offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help you get your hormones back in balance so you can feel like yourself again.

What Is BHRT?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, often referred to as bioidentical hormone therapy or natural hormone therapy, involves the use of human-made hormones derived from plant estrogens, which are chemically identical to those produced in the human body. BHRT is most frequently used today to ease the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause in women, but it can also offer other advantages. BHRT may also be administered in various forms, such as injections, pills, patches, creams and gels.

Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies that use synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animals, BHRT is entirely natural. Studies have shown significant long term health benefits with natural hormone optimization, such as reducing the risks of diseases and unpleasant symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.

BHRT Frequently Asked Questions

Bioidentical hormones are created from plant compounds that have been chemically altered into hormones with similar molecular structures to those produced naturally in our bodies. Bioidentical hormones have the same structure as their natural hormone counterparts, making it possible to emulate their effects with greater integration and reduced side effects. Commonly prescribed forms of estrogen and progesterone are bioidentical hormones designed to address hormonal imbalances with more natural methods. These lab-produced hormones can be tailored specifically to each person’s unique needs for treating conditions like menopause and other hormonal imbalances.

Experts generally accept HRT to be safe if used at its lowest effective dose for no longer than necessary; however, if you’re over 59 or have taken hormones for five years or longer, it is advisable to speak to your healthcare provider about discontinuing them.

BHRT should only be taken for short-term purposes, and this type of therapy is typically prescribed between five to seven years.

Patients deciding to discontinue hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must gradually decrease the dosage; abrupt cessation could bring back symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and sleep disruption.

Estrogens have long been recognized for their protective effects on skin health; conversely, androgens oppose this. Estrogen’s chemical messages can be transmitted via two nuclear hormone estrogen receptors, known as alpha and beta estrogen receptors, along with rapid-acting G-coupled membrane estrogen receptors.

If your medical history includes breast cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke or blood clots – this may disqualify you for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Current best practice guidelines recommend starting HRT within 10 years from when menopause began or under 60.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) may delay or reverse signs associated with aging, helping maintain smooth, supple, wrinkle-free skin for longer. While BHRT won’t do the trick alone, it can play an essential part in making you appear and feel younger.

Estrogen helps prevent skin aging in multiple ways, from stopping collagen loss among postmenopausal women to using topical or systemic estrogen therapy to boost collagen content and thus maintain skin thickness.

Low estrogen can result in irregular periods, hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, decreased sexual drive and pain during sex; mood swings, dry skin and headaches may also manifest themselves as indicators.

Reanalysis of trials has confirmed HRT’s proven benefits, such as decreased heart attacks and fracture rates, reduced cognitive decline, and lower mortality rates–particularly among early postmenopausal women.

Bioidentical estrogens have not shown increased risks or cholesterol formation; bioidentical progesterone helps block cholesterol formation.

Estrogen deficiency following menopause results in skin atrophy and accelerates skin aging, both symptoms that negatively impact quality of life.

Due to BHRT’s highly customizable nature, an individual’s dose may be gradually decreased over months or years as their needs shift over time. Some may no longer need as much hormonal stimulation at certain points in life and, therefore, feel they no longer require such treatments.

Changes to estrogen and other hormones could alter your appetite or metabolism; however, treatment does not guarantee substantial weight loss.
