It’s important to remember our natural hormone levels decline as we age. This is a common occurrence known as menopause in women and andropause in men.
Although this naturally occurs in everyone, eventually, it is anything but ‘normal’ to the active adult who suddenly develops concerning symptoms, including:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Loss of muscle
- Decreased libido
- Thinning hair
- Insomnia, either as the inability to fall asleep or the inability to stay asleep
- Mood changes and irritability
- Brain fog
- Bone loss
- Hot flashes
- Aging skin
These symptoms can significantly disrupt your daily life, affecting your energy, mood, and overall well-being. It’s essential to recognize that these effects are real and not just in your head!
Sometimes, people suffer from low or unbalanced hormones even before menopause or andropause. We specialize in easing the burden of these symptoms.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), sometimes known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), helps restore hormones to optimal levels and relieve these troublesome symptoms.
BioIdentical Hormones
What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones replicate the same chemical structure as your body’s natural hormones, allowing them to be recognized, processed, and metabolized like your own natural hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are available in various forms, such as orals, troches, pellets, injectables, and topicals. These are typically obtained from commercial or compounding pharmacies, empowering you to choose the most convenient form for your hormone therapy. Commonly prescribed hormones include estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA.
What is hormone pellet therapy?
Hormone pellets are small implantable doses of bioidentical hormone that slowly dissolve into the bloodstream, usually over 3-5 months. Some clients prefer the simplicity of pellet therapy over taking pills, injecting, or applying a cream every day. During a short office procedure, one or more pellets may be painlessly placed in a fatty area, generally on the hip/buttock. Downtime is minimal, and effects are generally felt within 1-2 weeks.
What is a compounding pharmacy?
Compounding pharmacies, like commercial pharmacies, dispense prescription medications. Compounding pharmacies differ from commercial pharmacies in their ability to dispense medications:
- in unique doses or concentrations not available through commercial means
- not available in any form through commercial means
- without particular allergens, such as artificial colors, lactose, or gluten
- in short supply through conventional pharmacies
- in alternate forms, such as creams, troches, or suppositories
- tailored to an individual patient’s needs
All pharmacies and pharmacists engaged in compounding are subject to oversight by both federal and state authorities.
