What are hormones?
Hormones are part of your endocrine system. They’re chemical messengers that communicate instructions from your brain to the rest of your body. Hormones regulate vital functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Your endocrine system consists of glands all around your body, including the following:
- Pancreas
- Thyroid
- Adrenals
- Pituitary
- Testes (men)
- Ovaries (women)
Your body only makes small quantities of hormones, but they’re so potent they can have very powerful effects on your health and well-being and even your state of mind.
What are the symptoms of hormone imbalance?
Hormone imbalance can cause a range of symptoms, depending on which hormone is affected. Some of the most common symptoms of hormone imbalance include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Difficulties sleeping
- Headaches
- Depression
- Irritability
- Changes in hair and skin
- Recurrent infections
In women, lack of the female sex hormone estrogen can cause irregular periods, mood swings, osteoporosis, hot flashes and night sweats, and vaginal atrophy. These are common symptoms for women entering menopause.
In men, lack of the male sex hormone testosterone can cause a loss of muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and diminished masculine characteristics. Hormone deficiencies can also be a factor in the development of some widespread, potentially life-threatening diseases, including:
- Some cancers
- Heart disease
- Arthritis
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
Having the appropriate balance of hormones in your body is vital to your health and well-being, so even if your symptoms are vague, you should still see the Platinum Concierge team to find out if you need hormone replacement.
What is hormone replacement?
Hormone replacement simply means taking in extra hormones that your body is low on to rebalance your systems. Depending on your lifestyle, you can take oral hormone replacement therapy or have a long-lasting implant.
At Platinum Concierge, the team uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Unlike mass-produced artificial hormones, bioidentical hormones come from plants. Altering them at the molecular level means the plant hormones are an identical match for the hormones your body produces.
What are the advantages of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
There are several key advantages to using bioidentical hormone replacement.
Mainstream hormone replacement doesn’t contain hormones that exactly match your own natural hormones. That means they’re less likely to work so effectively and more likely to cause side effects.
Bioidentical hormone replacement is also prepared individually for each person to match your hormone deficiency precisely. This personalization isn’t possible with mass-produced mainstream hormone replacement.
