Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are derived from naturally occurring sources, such as yams and soy, and are designed to replicate the same chemical structure as the hormones that are produced naturally by our bodies. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a delivery regimen of hormones tailored by your doctor, based on your hormone levels.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy benefits may include the following:

• Increased hormonal levels and higher libido
• Stronger bones with less fear of fractures
• Healthier hair
• Improved concentration and memory
• Better sleep
• Less moodiness and irritability
• Reduced fatigue

Many factors can contribute to conditions and diseases that can occur at any stage of life, resulting from an imbalance of hormones. Some examples include:

• Adrenal fatigue
• Thyroid disease
• Metabolic syndrome
• Sexual dysfunction

As a result of a hormone imbalance, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms. These symptoms often coincide with menopause in women and its parallel condition (called andropause) in men:

• Weight gain and decreased lean body mass
• Decrease in bone mineral density
• Limited or reduced energy
• Hair loss
• Low sex drive, diminished libido, and sexual activity
• Depression and irritability
• Mood swings
• Sleeplessness and impaired sleep quality
• Poor concentration and deterioration in cognitive function
• Memory loss
• Fatigue

Many individuals begin to experience hormone imbalance as they reach their thirties and forties. Over the course of your lifetime, you are exposed to a variety of environmental and dietary toxins, which contribute to the natural decline of hormones as you age.

Middle-aged women and men may wonder whether hormone therapy is the right option for them. However, many who have considered synthetic hormones (or who have taken them) now prefer a more natural approach to hormone balance with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. With natural bioidentical hormones, women and men can find relief from symptoms of hormonal imbalance without the risks that come with taking synthetic hormones.

In order to balance your hormones for optimal health and wellness, it is critical to be evaluated by an experienced bioidentical hormone r doctor. When considering BHRT as a treatment option, our bioidentical hormone doctor Dr. Motlagh will take the following steps:

• Perform comprehensive lab testing to check your hormone levels
• Ask you to complete an in-depth initial questionnaire, including medical history
• Create a personalized treatment plan
• Counsel you on proper nutrition and fitness guidelines, tailored to your needs

Synthetic hormones that are produced by pharmaceutical companies are different than bioidentical hormones. Pharmaceutical companies can’t patent bioidentical hormones because each BHRT regimen is specifically formulated by a bioidentical hormone doctor to treat each patient on an individual basis. Countless studies have shown that traditional (synthetic) hormone therapy can increase the likelihood of various types of cancer and heart disease.

What is BHRT?

BHRT, short for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, is a type of hormone therapy that has been available in the United States for many years. It involves the use of hormones that have a structure similar to the ones naturally present in the human body.

What are the benefits of bioidentical hormones, and how does pellet therapy work?

Bioidentical hormones, like those utilized by KMHCS, can work effectively with the body's chemistry because they closely mimic the molecular structure of the hormones naturally found within the body. This helps to minimize the risk of side effects and optimize the potential for positive outcomes.

What is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy is a common method for delivering bioidentical hormones, and it involves inserting subcutaneous pellets into the upper buttocks area during an in-office visit. Prior to treatment, a patient undergoes extensive lab work and consultation to determine the exact quantity of hormones they need, ensuring that every dose is customized to their specific requirements.

By opting for BHRT, patients can access a safe and effective form of hormone therapy that is tailored to their unique needs. To learn more about BHRT and its benefits, reach out to KMHCS today.
