The Importance of Hormone Therapy

Hormones, the chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands, play a pivotal role in maintaining various bodily functions. With aging, there is a natural decrease in hormone production, particularly those influencing growth, metabolism, and reproduction. This decline in hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, can result in imbalances, causing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, muscle mass reduction, mood swings, low libido, and erectile dysfunction. Hormone imbalances disrupt the normal functioning of tissues and organs, contributing to age-related signs and symptoms. Hormone therapy helps alleviate these symptoms by restoring hormonal levels to a more balanced state, improving overall well-being and quality of life.

Are Plant-Derived Hormones Better?

Bioidentical hormones drawn from plant sources resemble the molecular structure of the natural hormones produced by your body. As such, your body can easily metabolize bioidentical hormones, compared to the synthetic variety used for traditional hormone treatments. With bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, we place pelles underneath the skin to ensure a steady release of hormones for several weeks or months, preventing peaks and valleys in hormone levels.

Benefits of Hormone Therapy:

  • Improved brain function and cognitive performance
  • Enhanced mood stability and emotional wellbeing
  • Reduced joint pain and inflammation
  • Improved skin elasticity and firmness
  • Increased muscle mass and bone density
  • Increased energy levels and reduced fatigue
  • Reduced risk of some cancers
  • Enhanced sexual function and satisfaction
  • Personalized dosing based on individual needs, ensuring optimal hormone balance
  • Molecularly identical to the hormones produced by the body
  • Reduced risk of adverse effects compared to traditional hormone treatments
  • Releases a steady stream of hormones over several months
  • No need for daily or weekly doses of hormones
  • Start working within a few days, providing faster relief of symptoms

Yunique Medical gave me my life back. Before hormone replacement, it was like I was pulling a train behind me. Tiredness was a way of life, everyday was a challenge to just get through, naps were mandatory.
