BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Hormones are the crucial component of good health, youthfulness, strength, energy, libido, good sleep and overall wellness. As we age, our natural hormone production decreases creating a series of biological imbalances that could have a significant adverse effect on our quality of life.
It is essential to understand the difference between synthetic versus bio-identical hormones which are a replica of what your body produce without significant risks or side effects.
FOR MEN
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Yes, men have hormones, just as women do! Testosterone decline is one of the most apparent symptoms that occur as men age – affecting those affected and their loved ones. Low energy, low vitality, and an out of balance lifestyle are just a few of the side effects of testosterone hormonal imbalance. And the stress that comes with working harder and longer every day can only worsen the effects. Wellness goes hand-in-hand with hormone balance, and adequate levels of testosterone should be crucial to any man’s well-being.
Some Other Signs Low Testosterone May Include:
-
Loss of Muscle
-
Weight Gain
-
Erectile Dysfunction
-
Depression or Mood Changes
-
Hair Loss
-
Fatigue and Weakness
-
Night Sweats
-
Loss of Muscle Tone
-
Irritability
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO REPLACE TESTOSTERONE IN MEN?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been used since the 1930s and is scientifically developed to restore your hormonal balance by replacing your body’s compounds with natural duplicates derived from plants and configured to look exactly like your hormones. No prescription is the same – we individualize our bioidentical hormones per person to allow each patient to reach their maximum hormonal potential. The methods with which we replace the bio-identical hormones are also different. Application of the hormones can be made by topical creams or hand-made pellets that can last for months.
FOR WOMEN
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
No one can be healthy without having a balanced body. Hormonal balance is one of the most important, and overlooked, ways to get a healthy body – no wonder since they’re responsible for many of its functions! Some such hormones include those that regulate the brain, thyroid, adrenal glands, reproductive organs, and much more. Unfortunately, as a woman enters her 30s, there could be a significant change in balanced hormonal levels that can leave estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone measures out of alignment. Peri-menopause is one such detrimental stage that can have such an effect on a woman’s body and life. Symptoms such as hair loss, acne, weight gain, irritability, mood swings, dry skin, loss of libido, and others can have an enormous impact not only on the woman, but those around her – such as family, friends, and partners.
Menopause is a typical stage in a woman’s life that occurs when hormonal levels – which operated nominally during youth – are now prone to fluctuating rises and falls, leaving the woman emotionally and physically exhausted. If Left unchecked, this situation can become worse if the woman in question leads an active personal and professional life. In the past, little options were available to women who suffered from menopause. Now, however, bio-identical hormones made naturally from plants are compounded to replace the hormones that your body can no longer produce. Each Bellissimo patient is given an individualized prescription and the option to choose between topical creams or custom, hand-made pellets that last for months. Recommendations are made personally by your Bellissimo physician after a quick, thorough diagnostic test and evaluation.
