Hormone Restoration Treatments for Anti Aging
Advertisement
If you’ve visited an anti-aging center or medical spa lately, the specialists may have introduced you to a set of ‘bio-identical’ products designed to address many of the effects of aging. Bio-identical hormone therapy is been in the spotlight in recent years as more doctors turn to alternative forms of hormone restoration to achieve optimum health. Men and women of all ages can suffer from many symptoms that are linked to a hormonal imbalance, and hormone restoration can help to address many of these issues.
How Bio-Identical Hormones Work
Bio-identical hormones are designed to mimic the molecular structure of natural hormones in the body. They are different than synthetic hormones such as Premarin and Provera because they are not produced by drug companies for correcting certain conditions. There are now several branded versions of bio-identical hormones on the market, but everyone needs varying combinations of testosterone, estrogens, progesterone or DHEA in order to maintain a good state of health.
European medical studies show that bio-identical hormones are safer than synthetic hormones because they do have the exact same molecular structure as the ‘natural’ hormone.
Types of Hormone Restoration Treatments
While bio-identical hormones are one part of the solution to restoring hormonal balance, they are not the only option. According to WomentoWomen.com, about 85% of women can rebalance their hormones with a more natural approach that includes a combination of medical-grade nutritional supplements, dietary changes, lifestyle changes and endocrine support. In many cases, women are not eating the right types of foods or getting enough exercises. Diet and lifestyle play a leading role in hormonal balance, so bio-identical hormone therapy may not be the solution, or a part of the solution, for everyone.
Are You a Good Candidate for Hormone Restoration Treatments?
Some people have more than one type of hormonal imbalance, so it can be difficult to detect whether a certain type of hormone restoration treatment will help. However, today’s advanced technologies and tools for hormone testing help to pinpoint exactly where the problem is. Some of the most common symptoms of a hormonal balance include:
- Cyclical headaches
- Insomnia
- Memory problems
- Night sweats
- Lethargic depression
- Hot flashes
- Anxiety
- Rapid, unexpected weight gain
- Red flush on the face
- Gallbladder problems
- Severe mood swings
- Acne
- Unstable blood sugar
- Low blood pressure
These are only some of the common symptoms of an hormonal imbalance, and the severity and frequency of each will determine whether there is a progesterone, testosterone, DHEA or estrogen deficiency or dominance.
An anti-aging specialist can perform a simple saliva test as part of the hormone restoration treatment process, and will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to explain all of the symptoms you experience on a regular basis.
Learn more about hormone restoration and bio-identical hormones by consulting with an anti-aging specialist in your area. He or she will be able to explain who hormone replacement can help you achieve a better state of health, and conduct basic tests to determine what type of hormone deficiency you may have.
