As we age, hormone levels decline.
Hormones and health go hand in hand, for both men and women. Maintaining hormone balance as we age can maintain and improve our vitality, strength, and mood. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) helps reduce the impact of aging, and stay vital in the process.
BHRT for Women
As a woman, a decline in hormones can predispose you to lower bone mass and risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis, cognitive changes (mental fog), blood sugar changes, elevated cholesterol, low sex drive, hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain and mood changes.
Menopause and perimenopause are common causes of hormone change and imbalance. Younger women can be affected by hormone imbalance as well. Lifestyle, stress, and environmental exposures can be factors in hormone dysregulation for women at any age.
At Silver Spruce, our NDs offer customized treatment plans to evaluate your hormone levels as well as contributing factors to your imbalance. Our BHRT prescriptions coupled with naturopathic recommendations help you naturally replace the hormones that may be low or absent in your body. This not only relieves symptoms but restores optimal physiological function and reduces your risk of disease in the future.
BHRT for Men
In men, a decline in hormones such as testosterone can result in symptoms of low energy, low libido, low mood, impaired strength and stability and an inability to build muscle mass, regardless of exercise intensity.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) strives to restore and optimize your hormone levels, minimizing symptoms of hormone change and bringing you back into optimal health and wellbeing. At Silver Spruce, we offer you options to obtain the treatments you need to support men’s health, reducing your risk of heart disease, diabetes and restoring optimal performance.
What’s the difference between BHRT and HRT?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural, plant-based sources. These plant-based molecules are identical to your body’s natural hormone molecules and mimic your body’s own natural hormones much more effectively than synthetic HRT.
Bioidentical hormones naturally restore the body’s balance. They are safe, effective and don’t have the side effects of synthetic HRT.
