Bioidentical Hormone

What is a Bioidentical Hormone?

The hormone program replenishes suboptimal body’s hormones with biologically naturally identical proteins. Numerous hormones can be balanced and restored to more youthful states. Bioidentical hormone therapy is often referred as Natural Hormone Replenishment Therapy.
Hormonal imbalance is one of the most important reasons for premature aging. As such, hormonal balancing is an essential component of anti-aging therapy.

Hormones:

• Protein secreted by cell
• Circulate via body fluid
• produce effects on remote cells
• All production decline with age>40
• Except cortisol & insulin
• All decline in effectiveness with age>40
• Tissue response decline with age

Natural Hormone Replenishment Therapy (NHRT)

• Identify symptoms and signs of hormone decline and sub-optimal hormone levels
• Prevent hormonal decline by replenishing hormones to more optimal and youthful levels
• Restore youthful hormone levels to prevent, delay, or reverse early age-associated diseases.

Natural Hormones:

• Pure, hypo-allergenic, pharmaceutical-grade, and biologically identical or near-identical to body’s own hormone, given in a sustained released fashion.
• May be produced from plants or produced in the laboratory
• Native plant hormone like phytoestrogen not identical or in sufficient amount

Benefits of Natural Hormones:

• Reproduce biological effects
• Same biological pathways
• Fewer or no side effects
• Decreased risk for cancer
• Synergistic effects with other natural hormones
• Normal metabolic breakdown products

Whom is the treatment for?

• Patients with realistic expectation and understand that, while shown to be helpful for the enhancement of well-being, the service is an off-label use and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Whom is the treatment not for?

• Patients with unrealistic expectation
• Patients with active cancer or other contraindications to any hormone therapy.

How is the treatment done?

After advanced diagnostic antiaging testing, hormonal balancing can begin.
Re-examination and periodic adjustments then follow.

When will one see the results?

The results are seen in weeks. Most patients often find more energy to work and to enjoy life.

How long do the results last?

Combined with proper diet and exercise, results are long-lasting with further treatments suggested for maintenance.

How to maintain or enhance my results?

• Additional maintenance is required.
• Healthy eating and exercise are helpful to enhance results.
• Further treatment may be recommended for further results.

What is the recovery like?

For topical and oral administration, there is no recovery.

For pellet implant, local effects may include minor bleeding and bruising, and occasionally, extrusion. Post treatment instruction includes avoidance of vigorous exercise for 5 days and oral antibiotics.

Symptoms and signs of excessive dosage may occur and adjustments will be made.
