These could all be signs that you could be a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

Signs You May Benefit From Hormone Replacement Therapy

Men and women are often taught as they grow older that the issues they’re dealing with are simply part of aging — decreased sex drive, menopause symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, loss of mental clarity. But many of these issues can be directly treated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

For women, the advent of hormonal imbalance often accompanies menopause, and the loss of estrogen can put them at risk of premature ovary failure, heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, and other serious health consequences. Some signs for women that you could be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy include:

• Difficulty sleeping at night
• Decreased muscle strength
• Reduced sexual desire
• Exhaustion, low energy, and fatigue
• Weight gain, particularly around the stomach and midsection area
• Thinning hair
• Reduced mental clarity and difficulty concentrating
• Dryer skin
• Vaginal dryness
• Menstrual cycles gradually ending
• Moodiness, anxiety or depression
• Inability to lose weight despite a healthy diet and lifestyle
• Muscle and/or joint pain
• Decreased muscle strength

For men, there isn’t as clear a transition point in life as menopause, but they still are losing testosterone regularly after age 30. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help boost their energy and prevent significant diseases. Some signs for men that you could be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy include:

• Fatigue, exhaustion or low energy
• Difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection
• Lack of mental clarity and difficulty concentrating
• Loss of libido
• Weight gain
• Thinning hair
• Dryer skin
• Moodiness, anxiety or depression
• Lost muscle mass
• Feeling sluggish and irritable

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, you or they may be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. BioTE uses hormone pellet therapy to replicate your body’s normal hormonal levels and improve your overall health. Proper hormone levels are tailored to each patient’s needs using a comprehensive BioTE blood work analysis. Then hormone pellet implants placed under the skin release bioidentical estrogen and testosterone into the bloodstream. Unlike conventional hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced by your body, offering a natural alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy. The pellets consistently release small doses of bioidentical hormones directly into the bloodstream, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 5 months.
