Hormone imbalances can develop at any age and affect both men and women. They occur when glands produce too little or too much of a hormone, causing disruption of bodily functions. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, low libido, insomnia, and more.
Proper testing and treatment can help restore balance and improve quality of life. Blood, saliva or urine tests check hormone levels and reveal imbalances. Bioidentical hormone therapy may be recommended to supplement low levels. Lifestyle changes also support better hormone health.
Diagnosing hormone imbalances begins with checking for risk factors like age, family history, stress levels, and existing conditions. A physical exam and lab testing provide further insight.
Once imbalanced hormones are identified, bioidentical hormone therapy can help restore optimal levels. Pellet implants, creams, pills and injections are delivery methods. Dosage starts low and is adjusted based on follow-up testing.
In addition to treatment, lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, stress management and high quality sleep also support hormonal balance. Tracking symptoms helps assess progress over time. Follow-up testing confirms hormone levels are being properly maintained.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally made by the human body. This allows them to properly fit into hormone receptors and mimic natural function.
They are often derived from plant sources and made into customized treatments based on each person's needs. This targeted approach makes them an appealing option for those experiencing hormonal decline.
Potential benefits include relief of imbalance symptoms like fatigue, low libido and hot flashes as well as protective effects against conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. Close provider supervision ensures safety and efficacy.
