What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a natural way to treat hormone imbalance caused by menopause, pre-menopause or PMS symptoms. The process involves introducing bioidentical hormones into your body—copies of the hormones your body naturally makes. HRT is a safe and effective process for combatting many symptoms of hormone imbalance, including:
- Cold intolerance
- Constipation
- Foggy thinking
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia/Poor sleep
- Irregular periods
- Irritability
- Low sex drive
- Mood Swings
- Night sweats
- Tired all the time
- Weight gain
By correcting the hormonal imbalance through HRT, you’re able to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and feel great once again. It’s a non-invasive process that’s highly effective for most women, since it relies on bioidentical hormones.
Each Woman is Unique
Bioidentical hormones are mixed (compounded) by your specialty pharmacist based on your specific needs. We don’t take a one size-fit-all approach. We monitor your hormone levels (testing) so you take only the hormones that are necessary.
Other Hormone Imbalances
Adrenal Imbalance
The adrenal glands are glands that are above your kidneys. The adrenals produce cortisol in response to stress. High low levels if cortisols lead to many problems. The secretion of cortisol is cyclical. The highest levels of corsol are in the early morning and the lowest levels are at night. We call this a circadian rhythm. We can easily check your levels with a Saliva Cortisol Test. One example of a symptom caused by Adrenal imbalance is poor sleep.
Thyroid Imbalance
The thyroid gland is in the front of your neck. The hormone it produces regulates/controls the metabolism (how fast your chemical process takes place) we call this the Metabolic rate. Ten percent (10%) of women age 40 and above have thyroid imbalance. Some symptoms related to thyroids malfunction can include; weight loss, weight gain, nervousness, fatigue, constipation just to name a few. A simple blood test can help you find out if you have Thyroid or Adrenal problems.
