We will all experience a drop in hormone levels as we age, and while diet, exercise and other lifestyle choices can help combat this to an extent for some it is not enough. Many men and women suffer from side effects due to this decreasing hormone levels such as fatigue, memory fog, low libido and weight gain. Physiologically this hormonal decline can manifest as a decline in muscle mass, an increase in fat mass (particularly the harmful type of fat known as visceral fat), a decline in immune system function and an increase in cholesterol levels. Through the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)we can stop this hormonal decline and restore the body to optimal levels. BHRT can help decrease visceral fat, insulin resistance and anxiety/depression as well as improve energy, mental capacity, muscle strength, libido, sense of vitality, and quality of sleep. BHRT has also been shown to help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and improve skin, hair and nail health.
