You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “Her hormones were raging” or “Blame it on my hormones.” The truth is, hormones do affect our mood, sleep, alertness, body temperature, and many other areas. As we age, we are more likely to experience the adverse effects of low testosterone, estrogen fluctuations, and progesterone deficiencies. Changes in normal hormone levels contribute to a variety of symptoms and diagnosed conditions such as menopause, perimenopause, andropause, thyroid disorder or adrenal fatigue. Are you or a loved one experiencing any of these? If so, you’re in the right place. Seeking expert treatment from a hormone specialist at Total Health and Rejuvenation will determine the cause of hormonal imbalance symptoms and correct health issues at the root cause through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) vs. Conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormones are a regulatory substance formed in an organism and transported in tissue fluids, like blood. Think of hormones as “chemical messengers.” Hormones are designed to stimulate certain tissues or organs into a particular action.

Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) incorporates synthetic hormones into hormone treatment plans. Synthetic hormone replacement therapy can come with a dangerous price tag. These hormones are man-made and chemically-based. Conventional hormone replacement therapy is a one-size-fits-all regimen and has been linked to the development of breast cancer and heart disease.

On the bright side, there are bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the solution for restoring natural hormone levels to their optimal function. Bioidentical hormones are natural hormones, sourced from plant and yam extracts to be molecularly identical to the hormone structure produced in the human body. Bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded for each individual patient’s needs and pose no known health risks. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can alleviate symptoms such as:

• Mood swings
• Irritability
• Sleeplessness
• Extreme tiredness, fatigue
• Fevers, hot flashes
• Menopause symptoms
• Andropause symptoms
• Low sexual libido
• Weight gain
• Thyroid problems
• Adrenal fatigue
