The way we feel, both physically and emotionally, is affected by a variety of factors, including our diet, fitness level, amount of sleep we get, the quality of our social ties and much more. When it comes to the human body however, one of the biggest influencers on our health and the way we feel is our hormones. Our hormonal balance has a lot to do with the way we react to things and situations. When the state of our hormones is out of whack, a slew of psychological as well as physiological problems can crop up.
Depression is one of the most common indicators that an individual is experiencing a hormonal imbalance. If you find that you're always feeling sleepy and lethargic, even after getting an adequate amount of sleep the night before, or you're feeling anxious or down for no reason in particular, it is very likely that you are experiencing symptoms of depression. In addition, if you find yourself suddenly experiencing an acute bout of insomnia when you have never had problems with sleep before, this is also a pretty good indicator that your hormonal system is out of balance.
As we get older, it becomes increasingly important that we keep an eye on on how we feel so that we can keep our hormonal balance in check. As we age, our body's ability to produce and release certain hormones diminishes. It is this decline in important hormones that primarily causes us to age. Our hormones are what keep our metabolism and immune systems running smoothly. During youth, our bodies are functioning at peak efficiency, we build muscle instead of fat, we have an abundance of energy and we bounce back from sickness and injury much faster. Therefore, it stands to reason that recreating this same finely tuned balance of hormones that we possessed in our younger years is the key to controlling aging.
With this knowledge, scientists have made great strides in the medicinal field of hormone replacement. This cutting edge, anti-aging treatment is known as Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. BHRT uses supplemental doses of hormones that have an identical chemical structure to the hormones that your own body naturally produces. This restores your body's balance of important hormones,diminishing the effects of stress, fatigue, signs of early menopause, menopause, perimenopause, andropause and other aging related problems.
Some of the additional benefits of BHRT for men and women include the following:
Reduced hot flashes
Lessened risk of heart disease
Acceleration of fat burning for increased weight loss
Reduced night sweats and less insomnia
Enhanced sex drive and libido
Protection against fibrocystic breasts
Improved memory
Prevention of vaginal thinning and dryness
Increased energy and reduced depression
Improvement in skin's elasticity
Reduced osteoporosis
Improved blood flow
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy represents a unique new opportunity to the public, however, it is not something you can simply stroll into your pharmacy and buy over the counter. You must first meet with a physician that specializes in Hormone replacement so that you and your doctor can devise a plan according to your own unique physiology. No two people are the same, therefore Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy works best when treatment plans are customized and tailored to the patient's individual needs.
