Bioidentical hormones are created from natural, plant-based substances that have an exact makeup of the hormones your body naturally produces. Different from other drugs like Prempro and Premarin, which are chemically altered, bioidentical hormones are the exact chemical makeup of your own hormones.
Most people want to improve the look of their skin and will go to great lengths to make their appearance more youthful. However, restoring one’s hormones to a more youthful balance is much less understood, but just as important. In our late 30’s and early 40’s, our hormone levels begin to decrease leaving us tired, overweight, and in some cases can cause an increase in anxiety and depression. Restoring a normal hormonal balance not only reverses these symptoms, but also can produce a protective effect on many of our organ systems.
Age-related disability is synonymous with weakness, impaired mobility, balance, and poor endurance. Physical frailty leads to falls, fractures, impairment in activities and eventually loss of independence. Traditionally this aging process has been considered “normal” and unavoidable. In recent years an increasing number of people are not willing to accept the grim stereotype of aging as an unalterable process of decline and loss. Among numerous other benefits, hormone replacement can help protect against loss of muscular strength and bone density, central obesity and even reduce cardiovascular disease risk in men and women.
At Live Young Wellness Spa, we use a myriad of hormone replacement therapies to improve health and quality of life. Depending on your hormone levels and symptoms, we may incorporate testosterone, thyroid hormone, estradiol, progesterone, melatonin or growth hormone to improve your symptoms. I’ll have more details on the individual hormones and what they each do in the near future.
