BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
What is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement is one of the three components of age management medicine, often referred to as “anti-aging medicine”. The other two components are nutrition and exercise. Combining these three can lead to each individual attaining and maintaining the highest functional capacity and quality of life possible, EVERY DAY for the rest of your life. The main goal is to PREVENT the effects of aging which can lead to debility, disability, frailty, loss of independency, falls, bone fractures, and overall poor quality of life in our “golden years”.
Why Bio-identical?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those our body makes. This diers from the man-made, synthetic hormones that are currently prescribed. This difference is important for two reasons:
First, bio-identical tend to be extremely well tolerated (and fewer side-effects) because your body recognizes them and knows how to process them.
Secondly, bio-identical can be measured by blood tests, allowing precise dosing to the exact levels needed.
As we get older, our hormone levels progressively drop so that a 50-year-olds levels are much lower than a 25-year-olds levels, validating such statements as “this was so much easier when I was 25 years old.”
