The Science Behind Bioidentical Hormones 

Hormones play an important role in your overall health and wellness. When specific hormones begin to wane, or become out of harmony, then the negative symptoms of the natural aging process start to accelerate. Thankfully, modern science and medicine have discovered a way that you can get your hormonal balance back under control, so you can prevent and even reverse age related conditions. Bioidentical hormone therapy is an affordable, safe and effective way for you to get your youthful glow back naturally.

What Are Hormones and Why Are They Important?

Hormones help regulate vital bodily processes. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones help control stress levels, sexual drive, fertility, bone density, muscle growth, sleep, hair growth, metabolism and more. When your hormones remain balanced, the body remains healthy and in harmony. When there is an imbalance or depletion of hormones, it can cause disease, illness and even death. Hormonal function naturally diminishes as we age, but if certain hormones decrease or increase too rapidly it can create havoc. Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance can include extreme fatigue, accumulation of stubborn fat, decreased lean muscle mass, early menopause, low libido, infertility, headaches and migraines, insomnia, hair loss, relaxed skin elasticity, thyroid problems and endocrine related diseases. 

Synthetic vs. Bioidentical Hormones

Synthetic hormones are produced in a laboratory rather than being created naturally. They mimic the molecular structure of the hormones produced in your body, but they aren’t identical. Therefore, bodies sometimes have a difficult time properly utilizing them. Bioidentical hormones have the exact same molecular structure and are indistinguishable from the naturally occurring hormones already in your body. 

This means that bioidentical hormone therapy can reduce some of the potential side effects that are associated with synthetic hormone therapy.

Potential Administration Routes

There are many non-surgical, minimally invasive methods of delivery available for administering doses of bioidentical hormones, including:

• Patches
• Topical Creams
• Sublingual and Oral Dosages
• Injectable
• Pellet Therapy

Choosing the right one for you will depend upon a variety of factors including which hormone is being delivered. At Harley Institute Institute in Atlanta, you’ll meet one on one with a hormone therapist who will evaluate whether or not you are a good candidate for treatment. Dr. Harley and her team of well trained professionals will help deliver bioidentical hormone treatments that are customized to your unique needs and circumstances.
