Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Service - Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormones are the bodies natural balancers. As we age our bodies produce less of our primary hormone, and this causes diseases, illnesses and other symptoms of aging to develop. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment for menopause – menopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.

It is also used to lessen the impact of male menopause (andropause) to achieve more desirable lifestyle results. Usually, females receive estrogen and progesterone to supplement their bodies' supply. This reduces the impact of menopause and can improve sex drive. Men receive testosterone to supplement their bodies' supply. This improves sexual function, and muscle retention.

Why Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances. Whether menopause, andropause, or hormonal deficiencies, HRT offers a range of benefits that can empower individuals to reclaim their quality of life.

The various advantages of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Manage Menopausal Symptoms

Menopause brings a host of uncomfortable symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. HRT effectively alleviates these symptoms by restoring hormonal balance. Estrogen therapy, specifically, can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, allowing individuals to navigate this transitional phase more comfortably.

Enhance Bone Health

Hormonal changes, especially during menopause or andropause, can accelerate bone loss and increase the risk of osteoporosis. HRT, particularly with estrogen and progesterone, helps improve bone density, reducing the likelihood of fractures and promoting overall skeletal health.

Improve Cardiovascular Health

Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular well-being. Studies suggest that HRT can enhance heart health by reducing LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels, increasing HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels, and minimizing arterial plaque formation. These benefits may contribute to a decreased risk of heart disease and related complications.

Maintain Cognitive Function

Hormonal imbalances can impact cognitive function and increase the risk of memory decline and cognitive disorders. HRT, particularly estrogen therapy, has shown promise in maintaining cognitive function, improving memory, and reducing the risk of developing conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

Alleviate Sexual Dysfunction

Hormone imbalances can often lead to sexual dysfunction, including diminished libido, vaginal dryness, and erectile dysfunction. Hormone Replacement Therapy can help restore hormonal balance, rejuvenating sexual health and enhancing intimacy.

Boost Energy Levels

Hormonal deficiencies can cause fatigue, lethargy, and a general sense of low energy. By optimizing hormone levels, HRT can boost vitality, improve stamina, and enhance overall energy levels. Individuals often report feeling more active and rejuvenated after undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Overcome Mood Swings and Depression

Hormonal fluctuations commonly contribute to irritability, mood swings, anxiety, and even depression. By restoring hormonal balance, HRT can alleviate these symptoms, providing emotional stability and improving overall mental well-being.

Enhance Skin Health

Collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and moisture, declines with age and hormonal changes. Hormone Replacement Therapy can help stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, elasticity, and a reduction in wrinkles and dryness.

Declining Hormones

As we age, important hormone levels drop. By age 35, or earlier, both men and women may begin to experience the effects of declining hormone levels, and may have some or all of these symptoms:

Fatigue
Loss of Energy Depression
Anxiety
Mood Swings Difficulty Sleeping
Loss of Memory Mental Fog
Osteoporosis New Headaches
Hot Flashes Night Sweats
Aching Joints Bladder Issues
Dry Skin Vaginal Dryness
Palpitations Low Libido
Loss of Interest in Sex

Pellet Therapy

Creams, patches and pills simply do not provide the safe and optimal hormone levels that pellet therapy does. Trans-dermal delivery, pills, and other methods of hormone replacement vary in absorption. effect and tend to result in unhealthy and unpleasant highs and lows. These methods also don't provide the long lasting relief that pellets do.

Of all the hormone replacement treatments available, Pellet Therapy is, by far, the superior method. Pellets are comprised of molecular- identical hormones derived from vegetable products, and are painlessly inserted in minutes into fatty tissue on the hip. Then, the pellets release hormones directly into the bloodstream, avoiding the liver and the first-pass effect. Because they are time-released, pellets provide continuous bio-availability of the hormones – the same way the body used to release them. Since these hormones are a perfect molecular match to your body's own hormones, Pellet Therapy provides relief from symptoms safely, conveniently, reliably, and quickly.

While dosage will vary from person to person based on your individual symptoms and hormone levels, pellets need to be inserted only every 5-6 months for men and 3-5 months for women.

Overview

Hormone Replacement Therapy offers a multitude of benefits for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances, including menopause or andropause. From alleviating uncomfortable symptoms to enhancing overall health and well-being, HRT presents an opportunity for individuals to regain control over their lives. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional experienced in hormone therapy to determine the most suitable treatment approach based on individual needs and medical history.
