Bioidentical Hormone Replacement for Women

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bio-identical= the exact size, shape, and match;  identical to what your body makes. 

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with pellets is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies. With bioidentical hormones, the structure of the hormone- testosterone, estrogen or both- is matched to the individual needs.  Bioidentical hormones are natural, plant-based, substances that metabolize in our bodies the way nature intended. 

We use the EvexiPel hormone pellet therapy because we believe that you deserve the best hormone therapy.

Breaking down the Female Hormones and their function

Hormones play a pivotal role in regulating various physiological processes. Therefore, optimizing these hormones can significantly enhance a woman’s quality of life. Below, we explore the function of key female hormones and the benefits of having each optimized:

Estrogen

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. It plays a crucial role in menstrual cycle regulation, bone density maintenance, and the health of skin and blood vessels. Optimizing estrogen levels can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, while also reducing the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

Progesterone

Progesterone is another essential hormone in the female reproductive system. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy, supports early stages of pregnancy, and regulates menstrual cycles. Adequate levels of progesterone help counterbalance the effects of estrogen, reducing the risk of endometrial cancer. Optimizing progesterone can help with symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

Testosterone

Although predominantly known as a male hormone, testosterone is also vital for women. It contributes to libido, energy levels, muscle strength, and overall mood. Low levels of testosterone in women can lead to fatigue, reduced sexual desire, and diminished muscle mass. Optimizing testosterone can enhance sexual satisfaction, physical vitality, and mental well-being.
 
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
 
DHEA is a precursor hormone that converts into other hormones like estrogen and testosterone. It supports immune function, mood stabilization, and energy levels. As DHEA levels decline with age, optimizing this hormone can help improve cognitive function, boost energy, and enhance overall sense of well-being.
 

Thyroid Hormones

Thyroid hormones, including T3 and T4, regulate metabolism, energy production, and brain function. Symptoms of hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) include fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Optimizing thyroid hormones ensures a healthy metabolism, stable energy levels, and improved cognitive function, which can significantly impact a woman’s daily life and long-term health.
