Bioidentical Hormones Therapy: Comprehensive Treatment to Optimizing Hormone Imbalance

Written by Dr. Jacque Alexander FNP-C

“I’m fatigued, gaining weight and unable to lose it regardless of diet and exercise. I could care less about intimacy. I am losing more hair, my body aches and I have no motivation to do anything, let alone exercise.” Desperate for help, you seek medical treatment. Your provider explains lab work, physical exam and diagnostics are “normal” or, maybe, you get diagnosed with high blood sugar, obesity, depression, hypertension or high cholesterol. You initiated medications to mitigate the symptoms of depression, medications to decrease blood sugar, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and instructed to increase physical exercise, improve diet and decrease stress. Your start medications, modify lifestyle, and may feel slightly better for a time but not completely and /or it is short lived. Does any of this resonate with you? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance. Depending on the root cause of symptoms manifested, conventional treatment options may only mask symptoms of disease(s) caused by hormone imbalance.

What are hormones? Why are they important? Hormones [i.e. testosterone, thyroid, estradiol, progesterone] are chemical messengers, made by endocrine glands, with the main purpose of to control actions to cells and organs in a “lock and key” fashion.

The most efficacious method of hormone balancing is bioidentical hormone therapy [BHT]. Optimizing hormones with BHT, prevents and treats many preventable illnesses, such as : heart disease, certain cancers, osteoporosis, depression, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disease, insulin resistance [and much more] by mending the root cause of disease and allowing our bodies to do what they were designed to do before our systems became weakened.

BHT, in the modality of subcutaneous hormone implants [aka., pellets] is the most effective hormone delivery method. BHT pellets are pure, human identical, hormones synthesized to be the identical molecular structure of testosterone and estradiol molecules that our bodies have been producing all of our lives. Because these molecules must come from somewhere , the extraction process utilizes plants. Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen derived from yams are used to create testosterone and estradiol. Once they are synthesized to hormone form,they no longer have characteristics of the plant it was derived from., rather it is an exact replica of the hormones our bodies make. Our bodies then know exactly what to do with the hormone it’s been producing for a lifetime, without adverse reactions or side effects. Pellet implants deliver hormones in conjunction with our cardiac output; thereby delivering a steady stream of hormones in one’s blood. Decreasing the “roller coaster” side effect that synthetic and non implanted hormone treatments offer. In summery, BHT pellet delivery method, mimics our own inate sex horomones, optimizzing our hormone levels and decreasing disease burden associated with horomone imbalance by: increasing bone density, decreasing conditons causing heart disease, improving muscle mass, and promoting weight loss. Alleviation of fatigue, mood lability, poor metabolism, pain and improvement in libido, muscle recovery and overall sense of well being can be noticed approximately 10 to 14 days post treatment with symptom relief lasting 4 to 6 months. BHT not only alleviates the outward symptoms of disease manifestation, it silently corrects the underlying imbalance contributing to disease states. In turn, enhancing the health of the individual and one’s quality of life. w
