Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy or BHRT is the use of hormones that mimic the natural hormones produced by our bodies, with the ability to restore normal physiological pathways with optimal bodily responses. Because aging results in a myriad of declining health issues, BHRT has the potential to restore declining hormone levels, while slowing the aging process, preventing chronic disease, and restoring vigor and vitality.
As we age our body becomes less and less efficient at letting our hormones communicate with the rest of our systems. The less our hormones communicate, the more imbalanced our hormones and bodies become. When our bodies are imbalanced, especially our hormones, it directly effects our mood, appetite, energy level, metabolism, weight, physique, sex drive, immune system and even behavior.
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are compounded by a pharmacist to comprise the precise chemical and molecular structure as those hormones produced in the human body. This conversion of Bioidentical hormones is designed to provide an adequate supply of deficient hormone as closely as possible to the way the body originally produced, therefore restoring hormonal equilibrium. Each treatment plan is unique to each individual.
