Hormones and nutrients are essential elements that our body needs to maintain our vigor and health. As we get older, our natural hormone levels start to decline while unbalanced nutrition and environmental toxins begin to take their toll. At Amalurra Centre for Medical Aesthetics, we provide Bioidentical Hormone Management (BHM) to help counteract the effects of aging, optimize and rebalance your hormones, and recover your zest for life.
Also known as bio-identical hormone replacement, hormone therapy optimizes individual hormone levels for men and women to counteract unhealthy indicators of aging, increase energy levels, improve mood, restore normal sleep cycles, enhance weight control and maintenance, regain mental clarity, and revive the libido.
Hormone therapy for men is primarily testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics, such as muscle mass, body hair, and a deep voice.
As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, which can lead to a range of symptoms, including fatigue, decreased muscle mass and strength, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and depression. TRT involves the use of bio-identical testosterone supplements to boost testosterone levels and alleviate these symptoms.
TRT can be administered in various forms, including injections, patches, gels, and pellets. The appropriate form and dose of testosterone will depend on individual factors such as age, overall health, and the severity of the symptoms.
Hormone therapy for women involves the use of estrogen, progesterone, or a combination of the two hormones to relieve symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.
Estrogen therapy involves the use of bio-identical synthetic estrogen, which can be administered in various forms, including pills, patches, gels, creams, and vaginal rings. Estrogen therapy can be given alone or in combination with progesterone therapy, which helps to protect the uterus from the potential risk of endometrial cancer associated with estrogen use.
Progesterone therapy is also used to treat menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, and endometriosis. It can be administered as a pill, injection, or vaginal suppository.
