Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has been hailed as a miracle for men and women going through the aging process. It’s used as a way to avoid the dangers of the traditional hormone replacement therapies while reaping the benefits of replenished hormone levels.
Many people do not realize the long-term health benefits of BHRT. According to experts, many diseases that we accept as “a normal part of aging” stem from the fact that our bodies aren’t maintaining the same hormonal balance they once did. In fact, health issues like thyroid disease, adrenal fatigue, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, stroke, dementia, osteoporosis and heart disease are all linked to hormonal imbalances.
Because sex hormones play such a vital role in many important bodily functions, an imbalance could affect any/all systems of the body. When balance is restored to optimal levels through BHRT, the body can once again function as it was intended, and disease can be reversed or prevented entirely. This may be why so many patients undergoing BHRT feel 10 years younger, literally stripping away the detrimental effects of aging.
What are Bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are natural, plant-based compounds that are biologically identical to the hormones found in the human body. This allows our bodies to recognize and metabolize the hormones as they would their own, resulting in greater impact with less side effects, if any. Compounded bioidentical hormones can also be customized to each patient’s need, so levels can be adjusted accordingly.
This is quite opposite to traditional hormone replacement therapy, in which synthetic hormones, often derived from horse urine and other animal sources. Synthetic hormones were created to be molecularly unique so that drug companies could patent them for their own profit. Unfortunately, these dangerous one size fits all pills turned out to have serious long-term side effects and have shed a bad light on all forms of hormone therapy.
Who benefits from BHRT?
BHRT is most often used for men and women in midlife who are going through hormonal changes, including low testosterone. However, we have seen a very big increase of younger people coming in with hormonal imbalances due to lifestyle, food supply, and toxicities. BHRT is beneficial to anyone who is suffering from symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, and/or thyroid disease. We also encourage people without noticeable symptoms to proactively test hormone levels to ensure they are in optimal range.
