(B-HOT) Bio-Identical Hormone Optimization Therapy

As individuals age, there tends to be a decline in hormone production, specifically in thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone levels. This decline can manifest in symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes or night sweats, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and diminished libido. Furthermore, decreasing hormone levels are linked to serious health concerns like osteoporosis, cognitive decline, breast cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

Achieving optimal health is closely tied to maintaining optimal hormone levels, which naturally fluctuate throughout life. Aging, in particular, is marked by shifts in hormone levels, contributing to various bodily changes associated with the aging process.

Hormones function as messengers within the body, overseeing essential cellular processes such as growth, metabolism, sexual function, mood regulation, and reproduction. They also play a pivotal role in managing the body's response to stress, as well as influencing vital processes like sleep.

To address these challenges associated with changing hormonal levels during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause, hormone optimization therapy becomes a viable option. Patients undergoing this therapy have reported relief from symptoms such as weight gain, hot flashes, decreased energy, and sexual health issues.
