Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), is a treatment that restores balance to your body's hormonal levels. As we age, hormone production naturally declines, leading to various symptoms impacting our physical and emotional well-being. These can include fatigue, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, and reduced libido. HRT can help reclaim vitality and improve overall health.

Recognizing Signs of Hormone Deficiency

Recognizing the signs of hormone deficiency is crucial. Common indicators include:

• Fatigue and lack of energy
• Mood swings and irritability
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Muscle loss and decreased strength
• Decreased libido and sexual dysfunction
• Sleep disturbances and insomnia
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

If you experience these symptoms, consulting a hormone specialist is recommended.
