Men and women alike can be affected by imbalances in different hormones such as sex hormones (e.g. estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormone, steroids, growth hormones, and adrenaline.
Nearly everyone experiences at least one or two periods of hormonal imbalance during their lifetime.
Hormonal imbalances are more common during puberty, menstruation, andropause, menopause or pregnancy, but some people experience continual, irregular hormonal imbalances.
Many hormonal imbalances are caused by external factors, such as stress, hormone medications, and medical conditions that impact the endocrine system or glands.
Treatment for hormonal imbalances may vary from person to person depending on the unique factors at play. Options include: birth control, synthetic oral /topical / vaginal hormones, androgen blockers, metformin, thyroid medications, and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Optimization Therapy.
What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Optimization Therapy?
Bio-identical hormones are plant-based, man-made hormones, chemically similar to the hormones produced by the human body, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Doctors use bio-identical hormones to treat men and women whose natural hormones are low or out of balance. Although age is plays a factor, aging is not the only culprit of imbalanced hormones. Insufficient nutrients, toxin overload, cortisol imbalances, lack of restorative sleep, among others, may also contribute to metabolism-related issues.
While Bio-Identical Hormone Optimization therapy often treats menopause and andropause, this therapy in conjunction with others, can also help with conditions such as PMS, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and PCO-like syndrome, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and fatigue disorders. Patients who experience the following symptoms may be good candidates for Bio-Identical Optimization Therapy:
- Low libido
- Low energy
- Memory loss
- Insomnia
- Weight gain
- Brain fog
- Hot flashes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Hair thinning
- Muscle loss
- Mood swings
- Inability to concentrate
While taking a basic estrogen or testosterone medication may seem like a quick fix, the reality is that a simple cream or supplement from the drugstore is likely not enough to give you the best results. Total hormone optimization involves a comprehensive analysis of your body, a customized lifestyle plan, and a hormonal medication plan including not just estrogen or progesterone and/or testosterone but also precursor hormones.
These precursor hormones (DHEA, pregnenolone) influence the supply of all of your hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Often, patients miss the benefits of the full hormonal cascade because they are not accounting for the lack of precursor hormones.
Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Therapy incorporates precursor hormones to help both men and women with the symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Whether you’re experiencing menopause, andropause, erectile dysfunction, low sex drive or other sex hormonal imbalances, our Functional Doctors can give you a well-rounded, personalized treatment that works for your body.
