St. Louis Bioidentical Hormones Specialist, Dr. Hipskind of Clara Wellness Center offers Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help men and women reduce the signs and symptoms of age related hormone decline and treat hormone imbalances both naturally and effectively.
Declining hormones can have a significant impact on the way you feel, both physically and emotionally. Most traditional medical treatments only focus on managing the symptoms of menopause and perimenopuase but do not solve the root cause of the problem: imbalanced hormones. With a clear picture of your health and a customized bioidentical hormone wellness plan you can return to looking and feeling your best.
In men, some of the age related symptoms that can present with hormonal imbalances may include erectile dysfunction, abdominal fat, depression, hair loss, high blood pressure, higher cholesterol, low libido, muscle atrophy, lack of motivation, insomnia, mood swings, and reduced stamina. These distressing symptoms can be improved or erased with a customized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy approach.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
While hormones can reduce at any point during a person’s life for many reasons, the body’s ability to produce hormones can be also reduced due to an unhealthy diet, inadequate sleep, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, high stress, and living a sedentary lifestyle. Despite the causes of hormonal insufficiencies, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can help men and women to supplement hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. In the past, the options for patients that were suffering from hormonal decline were limited to non bio-identical hormone therapy. However, Bio-identical hormones are different from past forms of hormone replacement therapy, and they have many unique benefits.
Other forms of hormone therapy compound hormones from animal waste products, such as the urine of a pregnant horse, and because horse hormones are not identical to human hormones, drastic side effects can occur. Bioidentical Hormones are made from natural soy or yam sources and are made to mimic the body’s hormones. Bioidentical Hormones are identical in molecular structure and function to the hormones produced in the human body and, for this reason, many women and men can use them without reaping negative side effects. Their familiar nature allows them to be easily metabolized and accepted into the body.
Dosing according to individual needs is possible with bioidentical hormones. In the past, other forms of hormone therapy only allowed a one size fits all approach, and many people ended up with intensified imbalances due to improper dosing. For example, a woman with a small estrogen deficiency would get the same dosing as a woman with a large estrogen deficiency, which could lead to an even greater health risk, known as estrogen dominance. We will test individual hormone levels and provide treatments that supplement specific deficiencies in a customized treatment approach.
