Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is a plant-based form of hormone therapy for both men and women that replicates the exact chemical structure of the body’s naturally produced hormones. There are many ways we can adjust our diet and our intake of other supplements, vitamins, and minerals to try and regulate our hormone levels; however, with this safe and effective treatment, hormone regulation has not been more accessible.
As you’re beginning your hormone health journey, please use all of the information provided here to see if bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is a good option for you.
Hormones are created within the body through our endocrine system. How hormones are regulated depends on a “feedback loop.” When dysfunction occurs within one of our hormone-producing glands or organs, our hormones can be irregulated. This process can occur naturally within our body; external factors also play a significant role in hormone regulation. Various bodily disorders can affect hormone regulation, medications, stress, and even injury to the endocrine system.
What Exactly Is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
A lot of our clients ask, “How do I combat my low levels of estrogen/testosterone/progesterone?”
We have the answer for you here at Infinite Medical Spa: Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone replacement can come in various forms: patches, gels, and sprays. This form of hormone replacement is a bit different. After having your initial consultation with us, you will come in for an appointment to receive your hormone pellets. Dosing is explicitly calculated based on your blood serum levels and individual symptoms. Affordable blood testing is done in our clinic; test results are typically available the next business day.
These hormone pellets are safely injected under the skin, into the fat, and usually take around four months to be entirely absorbed by the body to where noticeable hormone changes will be evident, leading to optimized levels.
What are some of the symptoms bio-identical hormone therapy can help with?
