BioTE: Natural Bio-Identical Hormones

Women experiencing menopause or men experiencing andropause commonly turn to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to combat hormonal changes or imbalances. A hormone test and a consultation with our team in Steamboat Springs can help determine your candidacy as well as the areas where you may need the assistance of BioTE.

There are some signs to watch for that may indicate you could benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, such as:

• Brain fog or confusion
• Constant or extreme fatigue
• Depression or anxiety
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Low sex drive
• Irritability
• Joint aches and pain
• Memory loss
• Mood swings
• Trouble staying and falling asleep

How Long Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Take To Work?

Every client starts with different hormone levels at the beginning of therapy. Each client’s body metabolizes the administered hormones at different rates. Therefore, some people will notice certain symptoms improving while others have yet to enjoy an improvement at all.

Additionally, how quickly results become apparent depends on the type of hormone therapy received. While individual results vary, most people can expect to enjoy relief from their symptoms within the first 21 days following treatment. Some benefits that can be expected after treatment may include:

• Increased libido
• Elevated mood
• Increased energy
• Emotional stability

What You Need To Know

Bioidentical hormones are special because they exact molecular replicas of the hormones produced naturally by your body. These aren’t synthetic hormones manufactured in a lab. Rather, they occur naturally in nature and are most often plant-derived. Since these hormones are natural and completely compatible with your body, they are highly effective.

Bioidentical hormones are the ideal solution if your body can’t produce a particular hormone at an adequate rate. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can restore balance to your hormone levels. Both women and men alike can benefit from this therapy if they are suffering from the symptoms of imbalanced hormones.

What Happens Throughout the Treatment Process?

EVALUATION

Before your treatment begins, you need to come in for an initial evaluation. We will talk about your lifestyle, medical history and family medical history. This will help us understand your mental, emotional and physical health. The more honest and thorough you are when describing your symptoms and lifestyle, your customized treatment will be more effective.

BLOOD WORK

Your blood work is also essential to getting the best possible results from your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. You will be asked to provide a sample for a comprehensive blood work panel. The results of these tests will provide us with objective data related to your serum sex hormone levels.

Your symptoms affect the recommended hormone delivery system. Your blood work tells us by how much each of your hormones is imbalanced and allows us to provide you with the appropriate dose of bioidentical hormones.

TAILORED TREATMENT PLAN

As noted above, each client gets a tailored treatment plan to address their hormonal issues. People come in with different symptoms, and customized plans are necessary so everyone can enjoy complete relief.

CONTINUED MONITORING

We will monitor your progress once your BHRT journey has begun. You will be monitered through timely blood work panels to ensure your hormone levels are appropriate. We will also ask you about the improvement of your symptoms to ensure you are satisfied with your progress. Additionally, we welcome any questions at any time throughout your hormone replacement process.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BHRT?

What’s outstanding about BHRT is it can correct many issues. You may be considered a good candidate for this treatment if you are experiencing mood swings, insomnia and unintended weight gain. At the same time, your sister may be considered a good candidate for this treatment if she is experiencing cognitive decline, night sweats and lethargy.

Notably, both men and women alike experience imbalanced hormone levels and can benefit from this therapy. Additionally, you don’t have to be in your 50s or 60s to be considered a good candidate for this treatment. People can experience severe hormonal imbalances in their 20s, 30s or 40s. A complete blood panel will reveal if you are a good candidate for this therapy.

MEN SUFFERING FROM LOW TESTOSTERONE

Low testosterone, also known as low-T, is an incredibly unpleasant condition to suffer from. Among the symptoms of this condition are reduced libido and weight gain. BHRT can help men restore their testosterone levels safely and effectively.

MEN SUFFERING FROM MALE MENOPAUSE

Men may never go through menopause, but they often go through a very similar condition. Andropause is a condition that usually affects men over the age of 40, but younger men can also suffer from this condition. Among the symptoms associated with this condition are fatigue, lethargy, insomnia, mood swings and a drastically reduced sex drive. Hormone therapy can reverse these symptoms by restoring sex hormone levels.

WOMEN SUFFERING FROM PERIMENOPAUSE

Different women will suffer from perimenopause at different ages, but the condition always precedes menopause. Among the most common symptoms associated with this condition are insomnia, fertility problems, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, pain during sex and vaginal dryness. This therapy can ease the symptoms of perimenopause and help women transition more smoothly into menopause.

WOMEN CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE

Menopause is usually an incredibly uncomfortable experience. In fact, many women find this period of their life is punctuated with mental, physical and emotional exhaustion. Women going through menopause often don’t feel like themselves, but with BHRT, they don’t have to suffer for long. BHRT can smooth the transition into postmenopause.

MEN AND WOMEN WITH HORMONAL IMBALANCE

You don’t have to be suffering from low-T, andropause, perimenopause or menopause to be considered a good candidate for this treatment. There are several other reasons why your hormone levels may be imbalanced. That said, you can still benefit from BHRT. If you are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, schedule a consultation to find out for sure if your hormone levels are imbalanced and you could benefit from BHRT.

Why You Should Consider This Therapy

imbalanced hormones can cause a ripple effect that affects the rest of your body’s systems. That’s why people are often confused when they have symptoms throughout their bodies rather than localized symptoms. That’s due to the important roles hormones play in your daily operation.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Stabilizing your hormone levels can result in the stabilization of your mood. In fact, the mental and emotional exhaustion that accompanies hormonal imbalance is often more difficult to handle than the physical symptoms. For example, hormonal imbalance can cause depression, making it impossible to hold down a job or enjoy hobbies. People with hormonal imbalance may also feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster they can’t leave.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Among the physical symptoms of hormonal imbalance are fatigue, weakness and chronic exhaustion. Acne breakouts are also common in individuals with imbalanced hormone levels. Furthermore, hair loss and unwanted hair growth can occur.

Even worse, people with imbalanced hormone levels are more likely to develop such diseases as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, in particular, is common in postmenopausal women due to the significant role estrogen plays in maintaining bone density.

QUALITY OF LIFE

Interpersonal Relationships
Unfortunately, hormonal imbalances don’t just affect the person suffering from them. Severe symptoms can affect your platonic and intimate relationships alike. People with hormonal imbalances often experience depression, angry outbursts, moodiness and anxiety. Your loved ones may feel they have to walk on eggshells around you to prevent angry outbursts. This can put a strain on even the strongest relationship.

It’s Time To Feel Like Yourself Again

You don’t need to spend the rest of your life suffering from the uncomfortable, frustrating symptoms of imbalanced hormones. You deserve to feel good as you age.
