Anti-Aging Medicine and Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Anti-aging medicine is early detection and advanced 
preventative medicine. It is a healthcare model that emphasizes personalized, patient-focused, high-quality medical care focused on the early detection, prevention, and treatment of aging related disease. Bio-identical hormone replacement is the greatest tool we have in our quest for healthy and safe choices for life long anti-aging and disease prevention.

BHRT restores and balances hormones that improve quality of life, and it is the safe and effective way to restore balance with no harmful side effects. It will decrease depression, irritability, mood swings, extreme fatigue, difficulty sleeping, low sex drive, memory loss, mental fog, confusion, joint pain, night sweats, and hot flashes. It will also reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, improve bone mineral loss, prevent Alzheimer’s disease, increase energy, lean muscle, and bone mass. BHRT can also assist in loss of belly fat, which is the worst fat for our bodies.

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are identical to the ones produced in the human body to replace deficient hormones. Men and women can now replace the hormones that decline with aging, stress, or poor lifestyle habits with hormones that are identical to the ones produced in the human body in Greater San Antonio, Texas. For this reason, many people can reap the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy without the vicious side effects.

Some of the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy include:

Muscle influences the burning of calories. When muscle is abundant, fat storage’s are tapped into in order to sustain energy. If estrogen is low for either a man or woman, the body attempts to conserve estrogen by storing extra fat. This is because fat contains estrogen, and regular amounts of estrogen can decrease fat storage.
The hypothalamus is the body’s internal thermometer. Hormonal deficiencies can cause signals going to the hypothalamus to get crossed, and this can result in hot flashes and night sweats.
Fluctuations of hormones can cause blood sugar to not be processed properly, and this can cause feelings of fatigue. When hormones are balanced, the body can effectively produce energy to restore and increase vitality.
If hormones pertaining to reproduction are decreased, then desire for sexual activity is also decreased. When hormones are restored to normal levels, libido is boosted. In women, after the body decreases hormone production and closes down reproduction, it assumes there will be no further reason for sexual activity. This can cause vaginal dryness, and by supplementing the deficient hormones, vaginal dryness can be relieved. In men, erectile dysfunction may improve because testosterone directly affects reproductive functions, and sexual functions may be decreased with a testosterone deficiency.
A testosterone deficiency can occur in both men and women. Because testosterone directly affects the building of muscle, muscle can atrophy if it is insufficient. During testosterone decline, men can lose between 12 or 15 pounds of lean muscle mass, and if testosterone is restored to healthy levels, muscle may regenerate with exercise.
Estrogen and testosterone influence the way bones absorb calcium, and if the bones cannot properly absorb calcium, they can become weak, which may lead to osteoporosis. Balanced hormones can regulate calcium absorption to keep bones healthy and strong.
Hormone fluctuations can cause mood swings due to hormonal interference with blood sugar and brain chemistry. Women going through menopause and men experiencing andropause may notice several fluctuations in moods. Balanced hormones can remedy feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression.

These are a few of the benefits that can be obtained with bio-identical hormone therapy that can help a person reclaim health, happiness, and vitality. Melissa’s goal is to educate patients on prevention and early detection through multi-factorial lifestyle intervention to prevent the risk of illness. She will commit to a partnership with her patients in setting goals to achieve long lasting health and wellness.
