Hormones are chemical messengers that stimulate body processes such as growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction and mood. Hormones are very powerful and when levels are optimal, the body is balanced and healthy.  

But imbalances related to hormonal decline that occurs with age, compromise our health. Early signs may include weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, memory loss and low libido. With progressive decline, age-related disorders such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and arthritic conditions may emerge and persist.

Safe, effective hormone restoration is available for female menopause and male andropause in the form of Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).  It is preventive and always customized to meet the needs of each patient because there is no “one size fits all” approach to truly safe, effective hormone replacement.

Is BHRT for you? The only way to find out is to get an expert assessment by a trained physician who does “whole person” evaluation, creates the right treatment plan and appropriately monitors your progress. 

With the exception of “surgical menopause” the average age for menopause is 52 in the U.S. It is preceded by a decade of peri-menopause during which, gradual hormonal decline leads to menstrual cessation. The menopause diagnosis is given after 12 consecutive months without a period.

A woman remains post menopausal for the rest of her life. Clearly, menopause is not a disease. However, the hormonal transition, continuous decline and resulting imbalances, impact a woman’s health with emerging complexities.

Symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain and sleep disturbances to name a few. Some of the more serious and debilitating age-related health conditions that follow hormonal decline and imbalances include heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and several chronic systemic disorders.  

But you don’t have to let these conditions steal your quality of life. You can stop menopausal symptoms and age-related illness in their tracks with a treatment regimen designed to meet your needs! To how to get started now, read more……
