Bioidentical hormones are hormones that
are similar or identical regarding the structure of their molecules to the
hormones that are made naturally by the human female body. They are not
naturally occurring but require artificial or laboratory synthesis from plant
chemicals. The plants chosen are yam and soy plants. Bioidentical hormones are
used in the interest of using a more natural methodology than before since it
comes from nature itself (the yam and soy plants). Bioidentical Hormone Treatment is
the use of these hormones to resolve the issues and problems that an individual
has that directly relate to hormonal imbalance as well as a decline in hormone
production in a person’s body. Dr Wright of Harvard says, “bioidentical
hormones are sometimes necessary due to the rapid decline of hormones because
of natural and unavoidable circumstances.”
1. Cognitive stability
Loss of hormones or hormonal imbalance
has also been seen to be characterized by fatigue, decreased muscle mass and
decreased bone density. A decreased muscle mass and decreased bone density
would translate to cognitive instability because the body is weaker than it was
before. The Bioidentical hormone treatment ensures that the hormones that
someone lacks, such as testosterone, are replaced so that the bone density and
muscle mass improves. This ensures that the person has a good cognitive
stability. The patient also has increased strength and more balanced muscle
tone.
2. Increased Sex drive
Bioidentical hormone treatment is used
to correct hormonal imbalances in a woman’s body. The natural hormonal
imbalance or decrease in hormones associated with sex drive due to age is
easily countered by the treatment as the therapy replaces the lost hormones.
Hormonal imbalances in a woman’s body can be characterized by sexual problems
and dryness of the vagina which can adversely affect the sex drive of a woman.
The bioidentical therapy or treatment can potentially correct these symptoms
and hence translates into an enhanced sex drive.
3. Weight loss
Research studies have indicated that the
bioidentical hormone therapy or treatment can fix various risk factors that are
associated with abnormal weight gain. The research and assessments have
revealed that the bioidentical hormonal therapy directly leads to the reduction
of cholesterol, triglycerides as well as the decrease of visceral fat in the
body. The accumulation of visceral fat and cholesterol is associated with
weight gain, and the therapy ensures that they are reduced to the body. The
treatment provides that there is an increased breakdown of fat which translates
into weight loss.
4. Improvement in sleep
Bioidentical hormone treatment or
therapy has been seen to reduce hot flashes. This means that body is free from
unstable shifts in temperature especially at night which might affect sleep
patterns. The treatment ensures the patient does not have night sweats and has
reduced variations of hot flashes. There have been clinical studies carried out
that have shown that bioidentical hormone treatment counters the signs and
symptoms that are associated with sleep disturbances hence improvement in
sleep.
5. Improve energy
There can be declining levels of
hormones such as progesterone and testosterone which directly affect the energy
levels in someone negatively. The bioidentical hormonal treatment may improve
the energy levels and increase mental clarity, higher motivation, and enhanced
alertness. The treatment counters fatigue because of the restoration of the
testosterone and progesterone hormones which ensure that the person is not
exhausted all the time and is highly energised for various activities after
enjoying a good amount of non-disturbed sleep. The capacity to exercise is also
improved with the treatment as seen with the improvement in energy levels.
Importance of hormone balance
The significance of hormone balance goes
line in line with the benefits of the treatment. The importance includes good
energy, sleeping well, maintenance of the correct weight, a healthy sex drive,
good quality of life, health and general well-being.
The Inspire Med Spa has qualified
personnel as well as well equipped facilities that are required for every
individual. Dr Castelluber of the Inspire Med Spa has devised an anti ageing
program to go hand in hand with the bioidentical replacement therapy to
identify the unique characteristic hormone substitution for every individual
since the variations of the hormones from person to person is very high.
