Hormone imbalances are a source of distress and can have a significant impact on health, weight, wellbeing and how people age. Hormones decline in both the sexes and many people find it quite difficult to deal with the symptoms of aging and hormone imbalances. They look for anti aging solutions that may or may not be appropriate.
Women who seek various anti aging solutions such as herbs, supplements and medicine for sleep, anxiety, depression and weight as well as, beauty treatments such as Botox, peels, laser therapy and herbs may not be addressing the root cause of the symptoms. While there is no magic bullet, there is hope and help.
For many women the symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, loss of hair, weight gain, loss of libido and self esteem are common and can interfere with sleep, memory, productivity and wellbeing. Natural hormone replacement helps alleviate these symptoms by addressing the root cause.
Natural hormones are also known as bioidentical hormones. That means they have the exact same chemical structure as the hormones made in your body. These differ from synthetic hormones made that have similar and different effects. Bioidentical estrogen is available in pills, patches and gels approved by the FDA and manufactured by major pharmaceutical companies. Bioidentical progesterone is available in capsules or vaginal gels. Both can also be compounded into creams, capsules or other forms by compounding pharmacists.
All of your hormones are interrelated and can be affected by diet, stress, exercise, sleep and lifestyle. It may be beneficial to consider an evaluation by a physician who understands functional, anti aging medicine and has experience with natural, bioidentcal hormone replacement therapy as well as the effects of lifestyle and genetics on aging and hormone balance. Having a thorough evaluation and measuring hormone levels is a more holistic approach to aging well.
