Hormone Therapy

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Program

 

What is the purpose of the key hormones?

Estrogen

  • Relieves the symptoms of menopause and depression
  • Protects against osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, and memory loss
  • Enhances sleep, libido, emotional well-being, mental acuity, and skin tone

Progesterone

  • Relieves the symptoms of menopause
  • Decreases risk of endometrial cancer and may help protect against breast cancer
  • Protects against osteoporosis and heart disease
  • Enhances mood, boosts energy and libido

Testosterone

  • Increases energy and libido and enhances sense of well-being
  • Helps build muscle and promotes muscle tone
  • Helps strengthen bones

DHEA

  • Protects against the effects of stress
  • Can increase and enhance energy levels, libido, memory and immune system function
  • Helps protect against heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, and memory loss

Cortisol

  • Boosts energy and metabolism
  • Helps the body to respond and cope with stress, trauma, and infection
  • Helps to regulate blood pressure

A number of hormones decline as we get older – resulting in many of the symptoms of aging. In women, lower levels of estrogen and progesterone bring on menopause, and men can experience similar symptoms due to a decline in testosterone production. Growth Hormone and DHEA can also decline as we age. Our bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is designed to counter these declines with therapeutic levels of hormone replacement. 

 

What are Bio-Identical Hormones?

Bio-Identical hormones, also known as natural hormones, are substances that have the same chemical structure as the hormones that are produced by the human body, and they also create the same physiologic response.

Bio-Identical Hormones are NOT drugs. They are naturally occurring substances that are found in all humans as far back as conception. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces hormones at a "physiologic" level that is not harmful to the body – these levels never exceed what the individual was already accustomed to in his or her younger years. Ultimate Vitality Centers monitors all patients closely, promoting maximum benefits and safety.
