Hormones are chemicals that coordinate nearly every daily function, telling your body what to do and when to do it. They essentially serve as the internal communication system carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues. Hormones regulate bodily processes including metabolism, growth, sexual function, sleep-wake cycle, mood, and so much more.
As people age, the body may create too little of one or more hormones causing changes to the body that negatively impact your daily life. Typically, these changes occur during menopause, perimenopause, and andropause (male menopause). However, hormonal deficiencies are not uncommon for younger individuals.
People may notice physical signs of hormonal imbalance well before their healthcare provider confirms with bloodwork. These symptoms may include:
- Weight Gain
- Mood Swings
- Hot Flashes
- Night Sweats
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Low Energy
- Memory Loss
- Difficulty Sleeping
- Sexual Dysfunction
When hormonal creation decreases related to the aging process, the body cannot naturally regenerate the required hormone levels. Many people rely on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT, to regulate hormonal imbalances. BHRT is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are chemically identical to those the body naturally produces, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Using hormones that have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body produces naturally allows your body to recognize and use bioidentical hormones effectively to balance hormones and reduce symptoms.
BHRT can be administered in a variety of forms, allowing for flexibility in treatment depending on the individual needs, lifestyle, and preferences. BHRT treatment types include pills, patches, creams, gels, shots, and pellet therapy.
