Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the term commonly used to describe the treatment of hormone deficiencies brought on by aging, by replacing them with hormone molecules that are identical to the hormones produced naturally within the human body.
In order for your body to function at its full potential, it needs to produce sufficient levels of hormones. As you age, production of these hormones declines, and a wide range of symptoms can be a result: hot flashes, weight gain, lack of sexual interest – just to name a few. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is used to bring these hormonal levels to balance.
It is important to know the difference between Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy, otherwise known as HRT. HRT can be defined as the replacement of the missing hormones with similar chemical substitutes, but not identical molecular replicas.
Although BHRT is an age old remedy, many doctors and their patients are just learning of this option. BHRT is in the forfront of anti-aging treatment and for many doctors the newest method for helping cure much that ails the menopausal woman as well as the andropausal male. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is working it’s way into mainstream America. Due to most bioidentical hormones being unpatentable, you won’t find widespread studies by pharmaceutical companies. However, the below medical research proves that BHRT has been heavily studied and researched and continues to gain use by men and women throughout the United States and other countries.
Hormones are responsible for controlling the delicate biochemical balance in our bodies. They move our bodies through each phase of our lives, from infancy through puberty, reproduction, and old age. They prepare our bodies to fight, to flee, and to mate, and they are responsible for many of our daily mood swings and hunger pangs. Hormones are chemicals that are produced by our cells in very small quantities, and trace amounts can have significant effects.
Hormones maintain the chemical balance within our bodies by controlling major functions including our metabolism, our immune system, our reproductive systems, our nervous system, and others. As we age, our normal hormone levels begin to fluctuate and decline, which has physical and mental effects in both women and men.
One of the most important benefits and advantages to using Bioidentical Hormones is that the dosage can be tailored to each individual’s unique hormone requirements. Hormone balance is extremely delicate, and each person is different. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy supports this individual approach and fine tuning for optimal benefits.
The most common ailments, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and high blood pressure are all age-related conditions that are affected by an increasingly aging brain. The latest studies have shown that the brain can be taught to break the aging code. By assessing and balancing your brain chemicals you can restore your brain health and prevent age related diseases.
Optimal health can be reached with medications, hormones, nutrient supplements, diet and lifestyle changes that have tremendous impact in the brain neurotransmitters. The earlier you start, the better your chances of postponing or completely avoiding the consequences of the aging process.
