bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

Unfortunately, many medical providers simply “blow off” their patient’s requests to look for hormone imbalances when they just don't feel right. Physicians often attribute their symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, and generalized aches and pains to conditions like fibromyalgia, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, and so on. However, many symptoms are due to low testosterone and or low estrogen levels. When these hormones are low, we simply do not feel good, because our bodies and minds are not operating at full capacity. As a result, we feel older, tired, and run down with little to no interest in sex.

Testosterone (T), a hormone produced in the testes, is involved in almost every aspect of metabolism. Men over 30 produce about one percent less testosterone each year which often leads to erectile dysfunction, decreased sex drive, decreased muscle mass, bone loss, increased body fat, increased blood sugar, high cholesterol, decreased energy, depression, poor sleep and anxiety. A drop in testosterone is called hypogonadism and is commonly called Low T. Many conditions and life circumstances can cause a drop in testosterone, but testosterone replacement can reverse these symptoms and improve health.

Muscle loss and subsequent weight gain are two of the most common symptoms of Low T. Testosterone increases muscle, but low testosterone hinders the process of muscle building, causing muscles to shrink. Men who are treated for Low Testosterone with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) will experience an increase in muscle mass.

Hormone imbalance can affect younger women, too. Even if you are in your 20s, you could still experience the following:

For women experiencing symptoms of menopause, hormone replacement therapy is one of your best options. This moment typically occurs between the ages of 48 to 55. However, some women experience it before then. The earlier it happens for you, the more likely you could benefit from hormonal replacement therapy. HRT is also a great option for women who have recently had their uterus removed.
