New Year, New You!

It’s that time of year when everyone seems to stop to think about how they want to spend the new year – eating better, exercising, getting healthier. They’re all very common goals.

If you’re over 40 and thinking your body is starting to feel a little “old,” you may want to have your hormone levels checked – your sex hormone levels, that is.

The sex hormones – estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone – not only affect your sex life, but also your energy levels, your capacity for maintaining muscle and keeping weight off (Mayo Clinic Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines, 2016), and your ability to think clearly (Physiology Review, 2015).          

You may think 40 is a little early to start worrying about your sex hormones, but our sex hormones start to decrease in our 30s!

With careful restoration of the three sex hormones through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), adults can rediscover the vitality they need to enjoy life.

The most recent research on hormone replacement supports not only its safety (Journal of the American Medical Association, Sept. 12, 2018) but also the fact that women and men replenishing their hormones live longer and suffer less incidence of cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease! (Estrogen Matters, Sept. 2018; Journal of the American Medical Association: Internal Medicine, Oct. 2017)

“Experts do agree that the benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the risks for healthy women younger than age 60 or within 10 years of their last period,” according to Mayo Clinic: The Menopause Solution, published in 2016.

Women over 60 can be treated with HRT, writes the author, Stephanie Faubion, M.D., director of the Mayo Clinic’s Office of Women’s Health, but they must more carefully weigh the severity of their symptoms against any increased risks of health issues.

Bioidentical hormones can be administered via subcutaneous pellets, creams and injections. Unlike synthetic hormones, these bioidenticals duplicate the molecular structure of the hormones made by the human body. Bioidentical hormones come in a wide range of dosage levels, allowing therapy to be better tailored to your biospecific needs. And the pellet inserts are particularly convenient: the pellets last about three months, so you don’t have to remember to take a pill every day.

Don’t settle for feeling “old.” By restoring your hormones to optimal levels with BHRT, you can reclaim your vitality and rediscover the many pleasures life has to offer! Contact a bioidentical hormone specialist to learn more TODAY!
