If you’re experiencing fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or sleep troubles, your hormones may be out of balance. At Texas Family Healthcare, we offer Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help restore natural hormone levels, boost energy, and improve overall well-being—so you can feel like yourself again.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
What are bio-identical hormones?
Bio-identical hormones are an exact replica of the hormones that are naturally produced by the body. The difference between bio-identical hormones and synthetic hormones is that, although both are created in labs, synthetic hormones are not identical to the hormones naturally created in your body and bio-identical hormones match your body’s hormones molecule by molecule.
Who would be a good candidate?
The only way to know if you need bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is through specific laboratory testing. There are specific lab panels available to determine if your hormones are imbalanced.
Signs and symptoms of imbalance may include, but are not limited to fatigue, depression, hair loss, weight gain, muscle atrophy, low energy levels, insomnia, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety. In many cases, hormone imbalances can occur with expected changes in the lifespan, such as menopause and andropause.
Following lab testing, your physician will review your results to determine if BHRT is necessary for you. In some cases, BHRT may not be necessary; however lifestyle and environmental factors may change this need over time, so routine testing, along with a preventive health lifestyle is recommended to keep hormones balanced and maintain optimal health.
