Men and women naturally lose hormones throughout their lives, and the symptoms of hormonal imbalance can be debilitating. At Incredible Health, we strive to help men and women regain their vitality and wellness through BHRT, or bioidentical hormone replacement.
Bioidentical hormone replacement is a therapy used to help relieve symptoms related to hormonal imbalance and reduced hormone production. These bioidentical hormones simply replace the hormones that are naturally lost as we age. Often hormone replacement therapy is a beneficial solution to symptoms that aren’t always addressed by your medical provider, such as stress, weight gain, foggy thinking, or trouble sleeping. With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you can reclaim your health, get back to your normal life, and the activities that you enjoy.
How does hormone imbalance affect my body?
Hormones work to regulate many of your body’s systems and functions, including your body’s:
- Growth
- Metabolism
- Movement
- Reproduction
- Respiration
- Sensory reception
Your body regulates the production and releases of each hormone, but sometimes whether due to age or underlying conditions an imbalance can occur and lead to serious health problems.
What symptoms can develop due to a hormone imbalance?
Hormone imbalances can lead to a broad range in symptoms, depending on which hormones are affected. However, certain hormones naturally decline in women and men as they age.
Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance includes:
- Anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fatigue
- Hot flashes
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Low sex drive
- Memory loss
- Mood swings
- Osteoporosis
- Thinning or dry skin
- Weight gain
How does it work?
Each patient is genetically unique, so we believe in custom compounding to create a treatment that addresses the specific needs of the patient. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is commonly used when a patient has an imbalance or decrease in the production of hormones that are essential to helping the body and brain function at its best. It uses hormones that are biologically identical to those that are naturally produced by the body with little to no risk.
At Incredible Health, we prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy by use of pellet therapy. Our therapy treatment helps patients avoid the emotional and physical highs and lows that are often side effects of other forms of hormone therapy. With bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy, patients will only need to receive two to four pellet insertions per year.
It’s much simpler than other therapies that require a daily pill, instead, you just need to keep your appointments to receive the injection and don’t have to worry about any extra “at-home” care. With this method, your body will have access to the needed hormone immediately, and you won’t even have to think about it.
