Hormones are the driving force behind almost everything your body does, from processing food to controlling your reproductive cycle. When hormones get thrown out of balance, your overall health and well-being can suffer. Both men and women benefit from balanced hormones, so there are no gender restrictions in hormone therapy.
At BodyPoint Medspa in Lehi, UT, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. What is hormone replacement therapy, and what can it do for your health? Let’s find out.
Your body produces sex hormones to control certain functions. The two most important of these are testosterone and estrogen. Men typically have higher levels of testosterone, while women have higher levels of estrogen. However, every person’s body has some of each hormone.
So what is hormone replacement therapy, then? During bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, we insert a pellet no larger than a grain of rice underneath your skin. This pellet delivers bioidentical hormones into your system at specific intervals.
Bioidentical hormones mimic your body’s natural hormones. There is no chemical difference between these hormone replacements and your natural sex hormones. Undergoing hormone therapy resets your sex hormones back to healthier levels and reduces many unpleasant health symptoms.
While hormone imbalances are more common during middle and older age, some younger patients need hormone therapy, too. There are some universal signs that you may need hormone therapy for improved health.
When your body doesn’t have enough testosterone to work with, your mood, appetite, and energy levels all change. Men who are suffering from low testosterone levels may have many unpleasant symptoms. Some of the most common signs of a hormone imbalance in men include:
If you notice an upswing in these symptoms, it could be time for hormone replacement therapy.
Women are at risk for several different hormone problems. Either of the two important hormones — estrogen and testosterone — can become unbalanced and impact a woman’s well-being. Some signs of hormone problems in women include:
Any or all of these symptoms can strike when you least expect them. Luckily, with hormone replacement therapy, there is a solution.
Now that you know you may have a hormonal imbalance, it’s important to address it. Unfortunately, once your sex hormones are thrown off, it’s unlikely the levels will rebalance themselves. Hormone therapy could be the ideal solution to your hormone problems, no matter your gender. These are just some of the benefits of hormone replacement therapy.
Feeling chronically tired, fatigued, and worn out is no way to live. No matter your age, you deserve to be able to keep up with your peers and loved ones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy increases your energy levels. You no longer have to drag yourself out of bed and anxiously wait for your next nap. You can rejuvenate your energy and well-being with hormone therapy.
Sexual wellness is important for your mental health. After all, sexual intimacy is often one of the most important factors in a healthy relationship. With hormone therapy, you can get your sex drive and performance back. Many men and women who undergo testosterone replacement report much higher sex drives and better performance in the bedroom.
Women who struggle with vaginal dryness can also get some relief through hormone therapy. After replacing important sex hormones, your body can secrete more vaginal fluids to keep you comfortable during sex.
Your skin, hair, and nails all rely on healthy hormone levels to stay beautiful and strong. If you’re concerned about brittle, dry, and cracked skin, hair, and nails, it’s time to consider hormone replacement therapy.
Tired of mood swings? We get it! Mood swings are one of the most difficult symptoms of hormone imbalance to manage. Hormone therapy can benefit your mental health by promoting normal, more upbeat moods. While you can never avoid all stressors and negative events, you can go into things with a better mindset — thanks to the mood benefits of hormone replacement.
Your fitness should take a turn for the better after hormone replacement therapy starts to work. Men may notice increased muscle mass, better endurance during workouts, and faster recovery periods. This is because testosterone is responsible for helping your body rebuild muscle mass after a tough workout.
Women may notice more energy and feel motivated to hit the gym regularly. You could also lose abdominal fat faster and more effectively when your hormones are balanced. Overall, your performance, endurance, and fitness levels are likely to experience significant boosts with hormone therapy.
Menopause is a period of significant change and adjustment in a woman’s body. If you’re undergoing menopause right now, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Hormone therapy adjusts your body’s chemical responses to the normal fluctuations of menopause. You can avoid some of the worst symptoms by balancing your sex hormones.
Hormone imbalances can disrupt various bodily functions, leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. But you don’t have to resign yourself to living with these disturbances. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, available at BodyPoint Medspa in Lehi, UT, offers a way to rebalance your hormones and regain your health and vitality. Contact us today to get started!
