BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Our bodies are sophisticated.
All the systems of the body have specific roles to perform and they work together to keep us functioning at optimal levels. As we age, our glands and the parts of our brain that control our hormones deteriorate. The age-related hormone loss is programmed. It is natural, but it is not good for us!
Bioidentical hormones are usually derived from plant sources such as yams or soy. ‘Bio-identical’ indicates that the hormones are an exact match in molecular structure to the hormones produced by our bodies and therefore cause less unwanted effects. These sophisticated hormones ultimately mimic the wave-like rhythms of hormone blood levels in healthy, young individuals.
Bioidentical hormones are different to commercially available “hormones”. As they are identical to the body’s hormone molecule, they cannot be called drugs, and therefore cannot be patented!
For Women:
Oestrogen, progesterone and even testosterone ultimately starts decreasing as we age. Around 50 years of age, the drop in hormones are significant enough to result in unwanted side effects such as insomnia, night sweats, hair loss and anxiety to name a few.
This clinical decline in hormones is termed as menopause.
For women, testosterone can play a key role in libido, energy, and immune function.
Produced by the ovaries, testosterone has a natural rhythm in women over the course of their menstrual cycle. Testosterone levels are highest for a woman in the early twenties, but by the time she approaches and enters menopause, there may be a testosterone deficiency.
The replacement of oestrogen and progesterone alone may not correct loss of muscle tone, decreased libido, or general lack of mental function.
Our doctors and pharmacists use this natural rhythm of nature to establish the proper doses of oestrogen and natural progesterone that mimic the hormones produced by your body.
For Men:
As men grow older, they often notice a decline in their competitive interests, sex drive and overall enthusiasm for life.
Most men experience androgen and testosterone deficiencies that go unrecognised.
Medical research has shown that restoring androgens to optimum levels can provide significant improvement in mood, energy, and sexual function.
Restoring the body’s normal balance of hormones (such as DHEA and Testosterone) can make a man regain his strength, health and energy!
Five Pillars of Healthy Ageing:
1. Exercise:
Substantial health benefits are associated with regular physical activity.
2. Diet & Nutrition:
Scientists have found that what we eat and how much we consume, influencing how long and how well we live.
3. Lifestyle & Relaxation:
Stress is an inevitable by-product of life. However, the way we cope and manage our stress ultimately determines how good we feel!
4. Supplementation:
Supplementation is an important aspect of health to provide nutritional building blocks required by the body for optimal functioning. It is also important for protecting against free radicals caused by dietary habits, lifestyle and environmental pollution.
