Hormone Replacement including Thyroid Optimization

Who can benefit from bioidentical hormones?

Both men and women, depending on their symptoms and age. Bioidentical hormones can benefit pre-menstrual, peri-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women depending on their medical history and symptoms. Men can benefit from hormones as they begin to decline with age, usually around 40 years old, but depending on their individual circumstances, could be younger in some cases. 

Hormone levels tend to fall out of balance and deplete as we age. The resulting signs and symptoms are often ignored or misdiagnosed. The risk of chronic physiological disorders such as high cholesterol, Type-II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism also increases with age. All these diseases can be attributed to low hormone levels.

The goal of hormone replacement therapy is to get hormones functioning at optimal levels. A natural hormonal balance can be especially important to improving overall quality of life for women (and men) as they experience some of the common effects associated with loss of hormones. If you are experiencing fatigue, weight gain, depression and anxiety, hair loss, mood swings, low libido, memory and concentration problems, difficulty sleeping or other symptoms typically attributed to "regular aging" - bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) could help correct deficiencies and get you back to feeling your best. 

One size does not fit all. We customize our care depending on the individual patients needs and history. Some patients need 1,2, or 3 hormones, while others may need only thyroid optimization or nutritional corrections. Our unique and comprehensive work-up helps to identify the cause of symptoms so we can properly address underlying issues and relieving symptoms. We do not provide a band-aid to symptoms.

Thyroid optimization can assist with weight loss, mental health and well-being, skin, hair and nail issues, heat and cold intolerance, energy levels and the "afternoon slump". An optimized thyroid can also improve cognition, promote an overall sense of well-being as well as slow down the aging process by addressing deficiencies in thyroid hormones. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms; depression, weight gain, cold intolerance, achy muscles and joints, hair loss, itchy, dry skin, trouble concentrating, constipation or heavy, irregular periods, brittle nails, then you may want to consider having your thyroid function evaluated.
