A natural occurrence as we age is the depletion of hormones vital to overall health and vibrance. These depletions can lead to uncomfortable physical effects that may disrupt your way of life. Doctor EmiSM uses Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to restore balance and order to these hormones, helping you stay looking and feeling your best.
Hormonal changes may also arise from abnormal thyroid function or environmental factors like medications and stress levels. Dr. Emi can find the root cause of these issues with her in-depth approach and address them using HRT if appropriate.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Bioidentical HRT utilizes hormones derived from natural plant-based sources like yams and soy to optimize these levels and improve your overall quality of life. Referred to as bioidentical because of their identical molecular structure to those produced by the body’s endocrine system, this therapy delivers optimal anti-aging results with the fewest side effects.
Signs of Depleted Hormones
While women experience menopause, during which estrogen and progesterone levels may decrease drastically, men also undergo a similar transitional process in which their testosterone levels become depleted. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all contribute to the regulation of numerous body functions. When these levels begin to change, you may experience some of the following symptoms:
- Physical Changes
- Increased body fat
- Reduced muscle strength
- Reduced bone density
- Slower organ function
- Loss of body hair
- Dry skin
- Hot flashes
- Changes in Sleep Patterns
- Low levels of estrogen may lead to insomnia or oversleeping
- Changes in Sexual Function
- Decreased libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Infertility
- Emotional Changes
- Mood swings
- Reduced motivation
- Decreased self-confidence
- Depression
- Anxiety
The effects of changing hormone levels will vary from person to person. We aim to treat the cause of these imbalances at the root level. Dr. Emi’s personalized treatment plans will slow or even control these effects, helping you achieve and maintain your highest sense of wellness.
