Hormone levels can decline at any life stage for various reasons, including unhealthy diets, inadequate sleep, excessive alcohol, smoking, high stress, and sedentary lifestyles. Regardless of the cause, BHRT helps men and women address hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. Previously, options were limited to non-bioidentical hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones differ from past therapies, offering unique benefits.
Traditional hormone therapies use animal-derived hormones, which can cause severe side effects due to their non-identical nature to human hormones. Bioidentical hormones, derived from natural soy or yam sources, mimic the body's hormones, sharing the same molecular structure and function as human hormones. This similarity allows them to be metabolized and accepted without negative side effects.
Bioidentical hormones allow for personalized dosing, unlike past one-size-fits-all approaches. For instance, women with varying estrogen deficiencies can receive precise dosing, avoiding health risks like estrogen dominance. We assess individual hormone levels and provide treatments tailored to specific deficiencies.
