Men and women across the country suffer from chronic, debilitating health issues caused by hormonal imbalances. As people age, their hormone levels can fluctuate, leading to imbalances that cause physical, mental, and emotional illnesses.
For individuals who are facing hormonal imbalances that disrupt daily life, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help restore natural hormone function and bring a return to a healthy, thriving lifestyle.
At Feel Ideal 360, our team utilizes bioidentical hormone therapy. This industry-leading therapy option uses hormones that match your body's naturally occurring hormones to increase the success rate by matching the brain's hormone receptors.
With Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), patients experience safer and more effective treatment and results.
For women, the two hormones that affect mental and physical well-being are estrogen and progesterone. Of the two hormones, it is often estrogen levels that become imbalanced, leading to issues.
The female body will begin to produce estrogen during puberty, leading to the development of breasts and the start of their menstrual cycles. Later in life, menopause occurs for women, dropping the estrogen levels again.
With so many fluctuations in hormone levels, women may experience a variety of imbalance-related symptoms that disrupt daily life:
For women facing hormonal imbalances, BHRT can be a treatment option that relieves these and other symptoms. Before BHRT, hormone levels are measured and tracked to establish a baseline understanding of current levels. Once a BHRT practitioner measures the hormone levels, they work with patients to develop a unique treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.
While estrogen is often the culprit in hormonal imbalances, some women can experience symptoms caused by a testosterone imbalance. In these cases, BHRT can treat testosterone levels to bring equilibrium to the body.
For men, the primary hormone is testosterone, which is produced in large quantities in the male testes, kidneys, and adrenal glands. Testosterone builds muscle tissue and increases stamina, strength, and male libido.
Testosterone operates similarly to estrogen in women and is just as necessary for men. For men with testosterone imbalances, similar symptoms as estrogen imbalances can be experienced. Many men with testosterone imbalances suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED).
Like women, men can receive BHRT through injections in the muscles, as well as a time-release pellet that releases testosterone at set intervals. Topical creams are also available. While men and women can both receive BHRT with testosterone or estrogen, too much of either in the opposite sex can lead to health complications.
