Take back your life! An introduction to hormone therapy, the natural way, in 4-plus facts

Is it a challenge to get out of bed every day? Do you remember the last night you had a good night’s rest? Does it take longer to complete work tasks? Have you lost interest in sex? Are you uncharacteristically quick to anger? If these questions hit too close to home, do not be so hard on yourself! Hormones may be to blame. Our compassionate and highly skilled team at FitLife Med Spa is here to help you in Chandler, Arizona. We even offer the “best” in hormone replacement treatment, courtesy of natural or bioidentical hormones.

The problem: Sluggish hormones, hormone imbalances

Hormones are vital to numerous essential bodily functions. They also help to support the optimal health of our body’s systems and organs. Estrogen regulates many skeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous processes, from brain/cognitive functioning to bone and muscle mass. So, you can imagine what happens when your levels of these hormones are chronically low or otherwise out of balance. You may have a challenging time performing day-to-day functions or those activities that you once loved. Plus, due to the considerable role they play in regulating so many bodily processes, hormonal irregularities are associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, and more.

The solution: Hormone replacement

Imagine feeling energized again, having a sex drive, and feeling close to your partner. Imagine sleeping well and having a better mood without depression and anxiety.  Feel stronger at the gym and increase your metabolism for better weight control.  No more night sweats and hot flashes.  Improved cognitive function and memory.  Reduced risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular events.

 Not just “any” hormones

We use hormones characterized as “bioidentical” for therapy. “Bio” refers to biological or living tissues or organisms. Likewise, “identical” indicates similarity in every detail. This term literally refers to those hormones that mimic the natural ones your body produces. Their molecular structure is the same. It is essential because your body can properly process and metabolize these hormones. Plus, with BHRT, hormones are derived from natural organisms such as plants. Bioidentical hormones are associated with more predictable, safe, and favorable results. Unlike non-BHRT, the hormones we use do not stick around in the body, where they potentially produce additional challenges to your best physical, emotional, and mental health.

The process

FitLife Med Spa’s application of choice is bioidentical hormone pellet therapy by Biote^®. The Biote^® Method works like this:

• If BHRT suits you, small pellets the size of a grain of rice containing the necessary hormone dose are inserted beneath the skin.
• The right amounts of hormones are then absorbed at the right times so your body gets what it needs to fuel optimal health and well-being.
• Treatments are tolerated very well, with little more than lidocaine administered at the insertion site.
• It’s a true lunchtime procedure that can be completed in less than 30 minutes.
• You don’t have to wait long for the effects, which may be noticeable in 72 hours.

We are happy to give you this quick glimpse into BHRT and look forward to filling in any “gaps.” Call us today at (480) 719-7620 to book your consultation in Chandler, AZ.
