Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment option for individuals suffering from low levels of naturally-occurring hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and androgens. Hormone levels typically drop as a result of aging.

Medication is used to introduce replacement hormones to the body to raise and sustain these hormone levels.

Hormone replacement therapy has made immense advancements in terms of effectiveness and safety since its inception in the 1950s.

When HRT is Needed

Hormone replacement therapy can be warranted for

a number of reasons. Though this therapy is most

commonly thought of as a treatment for women in

menopause experiencing a range of moderate

physical symptoms, hormone therapy is also an

effective solution for any individual suffering from

hormone deficiencies, including men.

In fact, by the time a man is 50, his testosterone

levels have decreased by 35%.

Low Hormone Levels Cause:

• Memory lapses

• Poor focus

• Hot flashes

• Anxiety

• Weight gain

• Fibromyalgia

• Less muscle

mass

• Thinning hair

• No sex drive

• Dry skin

• Migraines

• Osteoporosis

• Depression

• Irritability

• Erectile

dysfunction

The Value of Hormone Therapy

• Hormone replacement therapy can treat each of the

aforementioned symptoms and thereby dramatically

increase an individual’s quality of life.

• Additionally, not addressing low hormone levels can

lead to chronic illness and an increased risk of disease.

• According to the Mayo Clinic, women who experience

early menopause and don’t take estrogen medication

until after the age 45 are actually at a higher risk for

conditions like osteoporosis and coronary heart disease.

Bio-identical Hormone Therapy

• Hormone replacement therapy has been widely studied over the years. Because some health risks have been identified with using synthetic hormones, natural hormone therapy has emerged as a safer, more effective solution.

• Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is one of the most advanced options for hormone therapy currently available.

• This type of therapy is unique because of its use of hormones that are plant-based, rather than synthetic. In other words, these hormones match the structure of those that are naturally-occurring in our body.

• By using natural hormones rather than synthetic hormones, as almost all other therapies require, the risks of blood clots, high blood pressure, cancer and cardiovascular disease are reduced.

The Benefits of Bio-identical

• The natural hormones used as part of a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy regimen are custom-designed for each individual patient. At NuBody Concepts Reviews in Nashville, TN, bioidentical hormone replacement patients receive individualized therapy using diagnostic lab results to evaluate symptoms.

• Patients receive replacement hormones that specifically match those that naturally occur in their body and are therefore better able to prevent symptoms of low hormone levels and reduce a patient’s risk for adverse effects.
