Is your body acting strange lately? Are you noticing unusual behavior as you get older? Your hormones may be imbalanced. Hormones play the important role of sending signals into your blood and tissue to carry out essential bodily functions. Hormones affect your mood, appetite, skin, and metabolism. If there is an imbalance in your hormones, your mental and physical health could suffer. Fortunately, there is a way to bring them to balance and restore those essential functions. Hormone replacement therapy can provide relief for women with severe hormone imbalances. At Cell Theory: Institute of Cellular & Aesthetic Medicine, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women. Contact us online or visit us in Miami, FL, for a customized hormone replacement treatment plan.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy can help ease the effects of aging. It can correct hormonal imbalances that seriously affect your everyday life and health. Depending on what your needs are, we will administer different hormones to bring balance to your body. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore the correct levels of sex hormones, such as estrogen. These hormones affect your mood, appearance, and overall health.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are synthesized hormones created to imitate your natural hormones. These synthetic hormones can correct your endocrine system if you suffer from low or imbalanced hormone levels. Although these hormones are created artificially, they are identical to your natural sex hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone.
Many patients specifically use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for menopause or perimenopause. This makes it ideal for hormone replacement therapy for women suffering from an imbalance. For example, if you are experiencing estrogen dominance, where your estrogen levels are much higher than your progesterone levels, we can use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to correct it.
What Causes a Hormone Imbalance?
You may be wondering why your hormones are suddenly spiraling out of control. As you age, your body goes through internal changes. Your body no longer produces enough of certain hormones to keep essential functions running smoothly. Additionally, if you experience chronic stress, poor nutrition, extreme weight loss or fluctuations, or suffer from a chronic illness, your hormones may fall out of balance. Hormone imbalances should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible to prevent serious health implications.
Signs That You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy
How do you know if your sex hormones are imbalanced? There are certain symptoms that tell you that you need to seek medical assistance. Once you experience these symptoms, you should contact us so we can run a series of tests to determine whether you have an imbalance with serum testing and recommend a suitable treatment. Serum testing is more accurate than urine or saliva testing. If you experience the following symptoms, you may have a hormone imbalance:
Hot Flashes
Are you feeling hot despite it being chilly? Do you experience severe night sweats? Hot flashes and night sweats are common symptoms of menopause and indicate that your sex hormone levels are not balanced. These hot flashes and night sweats can affect your sleeping pattern, causing insomnia. As a result of lack of sleep, you may suffer from other mental and physical conditions. Hormone replacement therapy can reduce your hot flashes and night sweats by targeting the root of the problem.
Weight Gain
While seasonal weight fluctuations are normal, significant weight gain is a cause for concern. If you can’t explain the significant weight gain, it may be due to a hormonal imbalance. As we mentioned, hormones affect your metabolism. Therefore, your metabolism may slow down as a result of this imbalance, leading to unexplained weight gain. An increased appetite and decreased motivation to exercise will cause weight fluctuations. Hormone replacement therapy can help get your weight under control.
Anxiety
We all get anxious from time to time. However, if you feel anxious most of the time without a valid reason, your hormones could be to blame. If you suffer from chronic stress, hormone replacement therapy may help. Anxiety should be treated promptly before it has a domino effect on other factors in your life, such as sleep, mood, relationships, and energy levels. Anxiety is one of the most common symptoms of menopause. That is why we recommend hormone replacement therapy for menopause.
Memory Loss
Did you know that an imbalance in your sex hormones can lead to memory loss? If your short-term memory is not what it used to be, contact us to discuss hormone replacement therapy. Hormone imbalances affect your mental health and slow down some essential brain functions, such as retaining short-term memories. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment for memory loss.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Once we diagnose your hormone imbalance, we can create a customized treatment plan to correct it. We need to know which hormones are imbalanced so we can administer the correct type of bioidentical hormones. You can schedule a consultation so we can discuss your symptoms and run a serum test. Once we know which hormone levels are too high or too low, we can create a unique plan to balance them. Hormone replacement therapy is a simple and effective solution to numerous physical and mental concerns. Restoring hormonal balance will bring mental clarity and resolve physical issues.
