Your hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in your body. They act as messengers, designed to interact with specific target cells and organs and provoke a change or result. As a result, hormone production changes, and hormonal imbalance can occur.
Unbalanced hormones can have a variety of side effects and symptoms. Immune function falters, putting you at risk for illness and disease. It thereby affects your heart, your metabolism, your joints, your brain, your breasts and your prostate health.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Physical, Mental & Emotional
If you are suffering from exhaustion, stress, foggy thinking, weight gain, sleep disturbances, or other symptoms, BHRT benefits may be able to help you.
The benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy include relief from your hormone imbalance symptoms and a restoration of your hormones to optimal levels.
Some patients start to feel the benefits of hormone therapy in as little as two to four weeks, but full hormone optimization can take up to six months, depending on the individual’s needs as well as the treatment plan that they decide to proceed with.
