The aging process is natural. Suffering through symptoms is optional.
- The journey from adolescence to menopause — and everything in between — takes women through a variety of changing needs for optimal health and well-being. Often, a hormonal imbalance is the underlying cause of life-altering symptoms during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
As women age, health and well-being are often affected by naturally declining or sudden drops in essential hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Lower hormone production can affect nearly every area of your body, leading to disruptive symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings. Without therapy for waning hormones, a woman’s quality of life may change drastically.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help balance hormones and support you on your path to better health and well-being.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body naturally produces. A custom-compounded BHRT plan for women may help improve many of the symptoms associated with perimenopause, menopause, and other health conditions.
Women suffering from the following symptoms may benefit from a personalized BHRT prescription:
● Hot flashes/night sweats
● Vaginal dryness
● Painful intercourse
● Low libido
● Urinary/bladder problems
● Achy joints
● Decrease in bone density
● Mood swings/irritability
● Insomnia/sleep issues
● Brain fog/memory problems
● Weight gain
What are the benefits of BHRT for women?
Beyond helping to balance hormones and addressing the common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, other potential benefits of BHRT for women may also include:
- Improved organ function
- Improved mental clarity
- Support for bone health
- Support for cardiovascular health
- Improved metabolic health
- Improved skin and hair health
BHRT may also help prevent or relieve symptoms associated with a variety of chronic conditions and health concerns that commonly occur as part of the natural aging process.
