WHAT IS BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy or BHRT is a safe and easy procedure that helps people regain their strength, achieve better focus, diminish anxiety, and improve sexual function. Not only that, but it can also boost your immune system and bring a better balance to your life. Bioidentical hormones are human-made hormones derived from plant estrogens that are chemically identical to those human body products. They are processed into a pellet about a tic-tac size and placed under the skin in a quick, painless procedure. The pellets dissolve over time, slowly releasing the needed hormones into your body - restoring balance to your system and giving you your life back. BHRT is used by both men and women when their hormone levels become unbalanced or drop signicantly. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among those most commonly replicated and used in treatment. The most frequent causes of this hormonal imbalance are perimenopause and menopause. However, it can also be used to improve the side effects of cancer treatments. It is also used to treat severe conditions such as insulin resistance, adrenal and thyroid disorders, bromyalgia, and osteoporosis.4

WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES?The best candidates for BHRT are men and women who have experienced a dip in their natural hormone production. This can be caused by aging, menopause, perimenopause, cancer treatments, or other issues.Suppose you are suffering from low sex drive, vaginal dryness, migraines, or menstrual headaches. Or you are suffering from issues like bladder control, anxiety, or depression. Suppose you’d like to improve your memory and concentration. Suppose you’d like to look leaner and feel healthier. These Pellets can increase your performance in the gym as well as melt stubborn fat. It’s not a magic wand, but you can see and feel dramatic changes in your body over time. Call us today to see if BHRT is right for you. 5

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?BHRT is most often used as patients age, and their hormone levels drop off naturally. Particularly for women who are in perimenopause or menopause. Its purpose is to increase the levels of hormones that have dropped, and improve moderate to severe hormonal imbalance symptoms.If you’re experiencing moderate to severe symptoms such as hot ashes, night sweats, mood swings, memory loss, weight gain, or sleep issues, if you have lost interest in sex or intercourse, it has become painful. Call us today and see if BHRT is right for you. It can also reduce your risk of diabetes, dental issues such as tooth loss, and cataracts. There is even evidence that it can help improve your skin’s appearance by increasing its thickness, hydration, and elasticity, reducing wrinkles. If you have undergone cancer treatment that has affected your hormone levels, a recent study has shown that BHRT can improve many treatment-related symptoms such as migraines, incontinence, low libido, and insomnia. This study also revealed that the recurrence rate of breast cancer in the patients using this form of hormone replacement therapy was no higher than average. (This is not true for all hormone replacement therapies). BHRT can give you your life back; it is safe and effective.6

WHAT IS THE COST OF BHRT?The average cost for this treatment varies based on gender. Women can expect to spend about $500 for the insertion of a pellet. While men usually pay $1000. This is because men’s bodies process hormones differently than women; typically, men require much larger doses than women. What you ultimately pay will also depend on patient-specic factors, like how quickly your body metabolizes the pellets, and how many sessions are scheduled. 7

HOW IS BHRT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HORMONE THERAPIES?Hormone therapies have been around for nearly 100 years. But not all hormone replacement therapy treatment options are created equally. The main difference between your body’s hormones naturally produces, and non-bio-identical hormones aren’t visible to the naked eye. You’d have to examine each hormone through a microscope. Think about it this way, your car key and your house key are both keys, but they are not interchangeable. Like non-bioidentical hormone replacement therapies and bio-identical hormones, they are different shaped keys that will affect your body differently. Non-bioidentical hormones can cause a myriad of adverse side effects and risks. Some synthetic solutions increase the risk of blood clots!However, bio-identical hormones are derived from plants, and your body cannot distinguish them from your natural hormones. They are designed with your safety in mind. There is no increase in your risk for blood clots, and the pellets have even been proven to protect your mind from the onset of several age-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.8
