Bio identical Hormones North Salt Lake, UT - Human Antiaging Center

Introduction to Bioidentical Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are used to supplement hormone levels that decline with age, leading to undesirable symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance and help people feel healthier and more energetic as they age.

Key benefits of bioidentical hormones:

• Relieve symptoms like fatigue, low libido, anxiety, hot flashes
• Improve sleep, cognitive function, muscle strength
• Support heart, bone, and brain health
• Enhance quality of life and slow the aging process

At Human Antiaging Center in North Salt Lake, Utah, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). With BHRT, hormones are adjusted to optimal levels based on symptoms and lab testing, using FDA-approved bioidentical hormones. This is a safe and effective approach to restore hormonal balance and vitality.

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalance

The first step is diagnosing a hormone deficiency. Common symptoms indicating low hormone levels include:

Men: - Low libido, erectile dysfunction - Loss of muscle mass - Weight gain, belly fat - Low energy, fatigue, depression

Women: - Hot flashes, night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Anxiety, irritability - Insomnia

However, symptoms alone may not provide enough information. Blood tests and saliva tests are crucial for measuring individual hormone levels for estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, and cortisol.

Based on test results and symptoms, our practitioners can determine which hormones are out of balance and need to be supplemented through bioidentical HRT.

Choosing the Right BHRT Protocol

There are several delivery methods for administering bioidentical hormones:

• Oral tablets/capsules
• Transdermal creams/gels/lotions
• Injections
• Sublingual drops
• Pellet implants

The route of administration, dosing, and combinations of hormones prescribed will be customized for each patient based on factors like:

• Hormonal test results
• Menopause status
• Symptoms
• Health history
• Goals

Follow-up tests are conducted periodically to monitor progress and make dosage adjustments. The duration of treatment can vary from months to several years or lifelong, depending on the patient's evolving needs.

Benefits of Bioidentical HRT

Restoring hormones to optimal levels with bioidentical HRT can produce life-changing results:

Relief of Symptoms

Many patients find rapid relief from disruptive menopausal and andropause symptoms, allowing them to sleep better, stop hot flashes, restore libido, alleviate anxiety, and improve cognition. For some women, symptoms may be eliminated in 2 weeks with the right BHRT regimen.

Health Protection

Balancing key hormones provides protective health effects on the heart, bones, brain, and metabolism, helping prevent chronic diseases like osteoporosis and dementia.

Improved Quality of Life

With reduced symptoms, better sleep, and boosted energy, most patients report feeling 10-15 years younger after several months of consistent bioidentical HRT. This translates into better work productivity, social life, sexuality, and athleticism through one's later decades.

Anti-Aging Effects

Bioidentical hormones optimize biological function, leading to beneficial effects on body composition by increasing lean muscle mass and bone density while reducing belly fat. Patients look better, move easier, and think sharper throughout the aging process.

Cost Savings

Rather than spending large sums managing individual symptoms piecemeal with supplements and medications, bioidentical HRT saves money over the long run by holistically restoring the body's internal hormonal environment for health and vitality. This is an investment that pays dividends for years to come.
