Overview of Hormone Therapy
Hormones control virtually all of the functions of the body. This includes your immune, reproductive, and metabolic systems as well as your mental and physical health. As you grow older, your hormone levels slowly decline, and you begin to lose your energy, vitality, and health — something conventional medicine has always led us to believe could not be altered. It was regarded as an inevitable part of the natural deterioration that takes place during the aging process.

However, there is a growing change in how physicians practice medicine. As science has advanced, medical professionals realize they now have the tools to enhance the quality of life by slowing down the aging process and preventing deterioration through hormone replacement.
Although nothing will reverse the natural aging process, the attempt is to have a more graceful and gradual transition, improving on some of the symptoms associated with old age. Replacing all of our deficient hormones — thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA — to levels you had in your youth is proving to be beneficial to both your health and quality of life in later years.
This exciting revolution in science and medicine identifies hormone replacement as preventative medicine. It does not simply accept that diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and senility are all part of the normal aging process. It does not accept the fact that your health, appearance, and function must rapidly deteriorate as you grow old.
Instead, physicians have realized with optimal hormone supplementation there is a new paradigm of preventative medicine allowing your body to remain strong, healthy and vigorous. By maintaining your hormone levels in a youthful state, you can prevent both the illnesses and the symptoms of aging. You can stay resilient, enabling you to cope with the everyday stressors of life.
For many years, medicine has recognized the health benefits of replacing these deficient hormones; however, for most physicians, synthetic hormones were the only option. Now it is possible to produce natural hormones or bioidentical (human identical) hormones, which match in every way those produced by the body. Most hormones can be derived from plants such as soy and yams. Now, we have grown to understand that synthetic hormones are chemically different to those found naturally in the body, and can cause a variety of side effects — even cancer.
Advanced Bioidentical Hormone Therapy focuses on the importance of vitamins, diet, and exercise in combination with hormone replacement therapy to make patients feel and function better, restore energy, and provide long-term therapeutic protection.
Benefits of BHRT
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a specialized type of medicine that helps balance your hormones to optimize your health through the aging process. Hormones are the chemical messengers in our bodies. They affect mood, appetite, energy level, metabolism, weight, physique, sex drive, immune system and even behavior. As you grow older, your hormonal system becomes less efficient and more imbalance generally leads to changes such as menopause in females and andropause in males. BHRT is a process that restores the body’s hormone balance using your body’s natural hormones. Below are the benefits BHRT has for both men and women.
