It may sound intimidating… replacing your hormones? But, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has grown quite popular in recent years for a reason – it’s highly effective. Before you decide if it’s right for you, let’s walk through exactly what BHRT is, why we may need it in our older years, and its many benefits so that you can make a confident, informed choice.
As we age, our hormone composition changes. For men, testosterone levels decline by about 1% every year starting in the mid to late thirties so that, by 70, most men have 30% less testosterone. Symptoms include a notable reduction in strength and endurance, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and depression. Women see a steep decline in estrogen and progesterone levels around age 50 or as they reach menopause. Symptoms include intense mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog, vaginal dryness, unwanted weight gain, and an achy musculoskeletal system.
Suffice it to say that aging can be challenging and the hormonal changes that accompany it often make life feel even more difficult. BHRT can reduce or even eliminate many of the uncomfortable aging-related symptoms by restoring hormone levels to where they were when we were younger.
Naturopathic clinics like ReDefined Hawaii can safely administer BHRT, which uses natural estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone derived from plants, so no synthetic hormones are involved. These natural hormones are bio-identical to those in the human body and many experts believe this makes them safer and more effective than their synthetic counterparts.
Here are seven of the most powerful benefits of BHRT:
Reduced Risk of Disease – Clinical studies have linked BHRT to a reduced risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, Prostate cancer, and even dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Enhanced Quality of Life – Rebalancing your hormones will uplift and normalize your mood, cutting down on mood swings, depression, and anxiety, and helping with emotion regulation.
Improved Sexual Function – Men and women report restored libido after BHRT, as well as a reduction or elimination of erectile dysfunction in men and increased comfort and vaginal lubrication in women.
Younger-Looking Skin – BHRT improves skin elasticity and promotes collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. This collagen boost also promotes joint health, lessening inflammation, stiffness, and joint pain.
Less Fat, More Muscle, Denser Bones – After BHRT, patients experience reduced excess fat stores and improved ability to build muscle and bone density.
Eases Menopausal Symptoms – BHRT can essentially “take the edge off” of menopausal symptoms – reducing mood swings, irritability, hot flashes, and night sweats, and restoring the metabolism to its previous state.
Superior Mental Clarity – The restored hormonal balance after BHRT improves overall cognitive function, eradicating brain fog and boosting focus and memory.
