What causes hormone imbalances?
Men face many different issues that could result in a hormone imbalance, from age-related andropause to chronic stress, medication side effects, and more. Here at our holistic health center in Tulsa, we dive deep to identify the root cause of the problem before recommending any type of treatment, ensuring you’re not receiving a band-aid but an actual remedy for your condition.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Unlike traditional synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical in structure to your body’s natural hormones and are made from plants. It has the same function, correcting hormone levels and providing relief from your symptoms. There is a wide range of hormones that we can test for, with testosterone being the most common imbalance that requires BHRT.
What are the benefits of BHRT for men?
Getting your testosterone levels back up is achievable through TRT– testosterone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy benefits for men include improving libido and sexual performance, increasing energy levels, metabolism, and muscle growth, supporting mental health, and an overall feeling of wellness.
How can I get started on hormone therapy?
A simple lab test can determine whether your testosterone levels are low, and then we will discuss the pros and cons of hormone therapy for men. If you are a good candidate, we will submit a compounded prescription to a local independent pharmacy, which will then custom-make your dose. You will undergo consistent monitoring to ensure the dosage strength is accurate, and we can make any necessary adjustments so you can enjoy the maximum benefit.
How long does it take to start noticing results?
Every person is different, so there is no definitive timeline; however, many men see significant improvements in how they feel within 2 to 3 weeks. This is why BHRT is such an incredibly useful treatment– it doesn’t take very long at all to help your body correct hormonal imbalances.
What forms of hormone therapy for men are there?
You can choose from a variety of hormone therapy delivery methods, including creams, gels, injectable liquids, and capsules. Each form has its own unique dosing and storage requirements, so it’s important to fully understand each option before deciding, and we can help talk you through each one. But there is another form we think is one of the best because of how convenient it is. Hormone pellets are small, about the size of a grain of rice, and are inserted just below the skin. It consistently releases the amount of hormones your body needs and usually lasts for several months.
