Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many of the body's functions. When hormone levels become imbalanced, this can result in undesirable symptoms. As we age, hormone changes occur naturally. However, factors like stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins can also impact hormone levels. Being attentive to signs of imbalance provides an opportunity to explore treatment options.
There are various signs that may indicate a hormone imbalance. These can include:
Paying attention to these signs and discussing them with a doctor can help determine if hormone testing or treatment is warranted.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally occurring in the human body. As such, some individuals find that bioidentical hormones help relieve troublesome symptoms associated with hormonal changes.
Bioidentical hormones used for replacement therapy are typically derived from plant sources and are designed to be as similar as possible to human hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This differs from traditional synthetic hormones, which may have slightly different molecular structures.
Every individual has unique health considerations. A detailed evaluation of hormone levels through blood, saliva or urine testing can help healthcare providers develop customized bioidentical hormone treatment plans as needed. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and stress levels typically play a role as well. Ongoing monitoring helps optimize and adjust plans over time.
