Hormones are chemicals that harmonize different functions in the body by carrying messages through the blood stream to the organs, skin, muscles and tissue. These messages tell your body what and when to do things. Hormones and the tissues that release them make up the endocrine system. These hormones control many body processes such as your mood, sexual function, metabolism, reproduction, sleep cycle and many more.

A hormone imbalance occurs when you have too much or too little of one or more hormones in your body. In many cases, having a slight imbalance in either direction can cause major changes to your body and leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own body. Some hormone imbalances may be temporary while others can be chronic. In many cases, hormone therapy can assist in giving you the balance your body needs to stay physically healthy.

While many hormonal imbalances aren’t preventable, hormone therapy can help to optimize your overall health. Whether your hormone imbalance is being caused by a thyroid disorder, menopause or chronic fatigue, the symptoms can be vastly similar. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, you can find relief with hormone replacement therapy:

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is among the most effective treatment options for women suffering from hormonal imbalance. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and designed to mimic the structure and function of natural human hormones. This quality is not observed with the use of synthetic hormones, making bioidentical hormones a safer solution to improve hormone imbalances. Because bioidentical hormones are replicas of natural human hormones, they match hormone receptors within the body. This match allows for each patient to achieve the balance and function needed.

Testosterone aids in sustaining energy levels for women. It helps to build and maintain muscle mass while providing the body with energy to take on each day.

Testosterone is not just for men – it is the hormone of desire for women too. When testosterone levels decline, it can affect a woman’s libido. A comprehensive testosterone therapy plan from our highly trained medical staff can rescue your sexual drive and lead to better orgasms and increased stamina.

Low levels of testosterone and other unbalanced hormones in women are commonly linked to unpleasant symptoms such as decreased energy, mood swings and weight gain. Replenishing your body’s natural levels of these hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy can help stabilize mood and improve overall well-being.

Research has shown that adequate levels of hormones may improve cardiovascular health and heart function. Women depend on testosterone to support a strong heart and blood vessels to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Hormone therapy can also help minimize the plaque build-up associated with high cholesterol that increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
