The way that society views aging has changed a lot in the past few decades. The idea of growing old gracefully and sitting in your rocking chair is a thing of the past. Many mature individuals realize that life doesn’t have to end. However, even though these individuals have worked hard to keep themselves looking their best and feeling their best, they have noticed a change when they hit middle-age. The strength and stamina that were a hallmark of youth are no longer there. The aggressive workout routines that they used to do with ease now are challenging. Their diet has not changed at all, yet they are packing on the pounds. Their routine has stayed the same, but the way their body responds has changed. If this sounds like your situation, you may be interested in learning about the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, known as BHRT for short.
This may be the first time you’ve heard mention of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. If so, it is a treatment designed to replace decreased hormones in your body. Some of the hormones that might be replaced include testosterone, progesterone, or estrogen. Bioidentical hormones have been manufactured in a way to identically match the molecular structure of the hormones that your body naturally produces. This means that your body will react to these hormones in the same way that it does to hormones your body naturally produces.
Bioidentical hormones can be taken in different ways. Our medical professionals will make sure to talk with you about the details of each form of BHRT and then work with you to create a therapy that is right for you.
Many who have opted to take advantage of BHRT have seen an increase in the amount of energy that their body is producing. Their focus improves, their interest in sexual activity increases, and in some ways they are able to regain a lot of the things they valued about their youth.
One of the mistakes that many people make as they get older is confusing a reduction in hormone levels with the natural aging process. It’s true that as we get older, our body does not function at the same level it did when we were young. However, many people are able to go through the third stage of their life without noticing any major changes. If you feel that a reduction in hormone production is affecting your quality of life, take the time to learn more information about BHRT.
