Women’s Hormones

As time goes by, we are becoming more and more aware of the role hormone balance plays in our health and well-being. Many of the diseases that we associate with aging are brought on by a decrease in essential hormones. Women need a balance of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone, to feel strong, optimistic, and healthy. Osteoporosis and mental decline have been shown to be related to our hormone levels. Few studies differentiate between Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy and the synthetic Premarin, Provera, or Birth Control Pills.

In Anti-Aging Medicine we find Bio-identical Hormones, as prescribed by a trained physician, and with appropriate lab tests, are an effective and safe alternative to the symptoms of menopause and accelerated aging. It is important to understand that we have a virtual “Symphony of Hormones” playing in our bodies throughout our lives. Thyroid, Human Growth Hormone, Insulin, DHEA- all of these need to be looked at and balanced for our bodies to feel right, and they all affect each other. “Hormones” are technically chemical messengers sending a signal from one gland to another, in response to the needs of the whole organism. They are in a bio-feedback loop with each other, and taking hormones that you don’t need will often shut down your own natural production of that hormone. At AgeLess Medical we look at your entire health picture to find the “cause” of whatever symptoms you are having, rather than just treat one thing at a time. In the end, you want to feel healthy and strong, not just handed a bandaid for each issue.

Correcting your hormone balance treats symptoms of Menopause, and Peri-menopause, such as:

  • Hot Flashes

  • Weight Gain

  • Mood Swings

  • Low Sex Drive

  • Low Energy Depression, or Anxiety

  • Insomnia

  • Osteoporosis Cardiovascular Disease

Hormone balance is also important for women that suffer from anxiety and/or depression, even if if they are young and far from menopause. It’s a shame that so many young women are put on birth control pills for symptoms of PMS, or acne. These symptoms are very real, and often caused by the natural drop in progesterone during the menstrual cycle. Natural bio-identical progesterone has helped countless young women to have a more balanced emotional state of mind, and a better quality of life.
