This can be the best time of your life
Don’t you deserve to feel your best? Now is the time to maximize your vitality by combining fitness and nutrition with bio-identical hormone therapies.
Are Bio-identical Hormones safe?
A large amount of data has been collected on synthetic hormone therapy. These drugs are able to be patented so the drug companies pay for these studies. Bio-identical hormones are generic so they cannot be patented. This means that large clinical trials on them have not been done. We do know that European studies and small studies done by anti-aging physicians have found them both safe and effective. They have been shown to protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, and mental decline. They have never been found to increase the risk of cancer and in fact there are studies showing that they may protect against both breast and colon cancer.
What is Hormone Balancing?
Hormone balancing is a method of customizing your hormone replacement. It is a customized plan developed just for you. After appropriate lab testing, it combines customized Bio-identical hormone therapy with nutritional counseling, fitness recommendations, stress reduction plans, and use of the highest quality supplements to make you look and feel your best.
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy?
Many studies have documented that as we age our hormone levels decline resulting in a loss of energy and vitality. Bio-Identical hormones are exactly the same chemically as the hormones present in the human body. Bio-identical hormone therapy replaces the hormones your body needs to function optimally. They can be prescribed through chain pharmacies in standard dosages or customized to meet your specific needs through a compounding pharmacy.
How is this different from traditional hormone therapy?
Traditionally physicians have used synthetic hormones to treat patients. Synthetic hormones have extra molecules which are not recognized by the body. They are not metabolized by our body’s enzymes so they may stay in the body for long periods of time and can act as toxins and carcinogens.
Is this just about menopause?
No. All of the cells in the body have receptors for hormones. Hormone deficiencies are a major factor in the deterioration of the brain, muscle, joints, skin, heart and the quality of life. Chronic loss of energy may be related to adrenal fatigue or an underactive thyroid. Loss of muscle tone and weight gain may be due to decreased levels of DHEA or growth hormone. Loss of libido is often related to lower levels of testosterone in both men and women. In addition to these symptoms, declining hormones increase the risk of deterioration of organs, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
What are the benefits of hormone therapy?
Bio-identical hormone therapy can significantly reduce symptoms for both men and women associated with hormonal decline including, memory loss, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain, irritability, fatigue, insomnia, decreased sex drive, loss of muscle tone, and overall sense of well being. Significant improvement in symptoms is often seen within the first 2-4 weeks.
