Revitalize your Health with Bio-identical Hormones
Did you know that estrogen does far more than keep our skin youthful and plump, and that testosterone gives us much more than energy and tone to our muscles?
No wonder as we age, we feel sluggish and out of shape, and we don’t like those frown lines we’re seeing in the mirror. Our estrogen and testosterone levels are often in the toilet!
As we age, our body’s hormone levels naturally decline, leading to a range of symptoms that can affect our quality of life. Bio- identical hormone’s offer a natural and effective solution. Derived from plants, they are chemically identical to the hormones produced by our body, and are a safer and more harmonious option than synthetic hormones.
women's health
Perimenopause is often a difficult time in a woman’s life when hormone levels are fluctuating daily. The most aggravating symptoms of perimenopause are hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, irritability, vaginal dryness and painful sex, as well as decreased libido. When a woman enters menopause, estrogen levels are low. She will often experience changes in hair, skin, and nails, bone loss, and increased cholesterol. Weight gain due to metabolic changes can also occur, which often leads to increased body fat, especially around the abdomen.
Pre- menopausal women can have hormonal abnormalities as well. Polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, uterine fibroids, and estrogen dominance are very common conditions that can be disruptive in a young woman’s life.
At “Integrative Health Solutions by Shay,” we understand the frustrations that hormonal issues can play in a woman’s life. We acknowledge the importance that a healthy diet, sleep, exercise, proper supplementation, and stress management play when it comes to optimizing hormones.
men's health
Just as a woman goes through Menopause, a man will go through Andropause. Andropause is a time in a males life when testosterone levels plummet, due to a natural decline in the testes production of this valuable hormone. Men often experience decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood disturbances,
decreased strength, stamina, and poor exercise recovery.
It is now common to see low testosterone levels in young men as well. This is often due to increased stress, too much alcohol, or an inactive lifestyle, whereas a restful nights sleep and strength training naturally increase testosterone levels in men of all ages.
Growth hormone is another hormone that must not be ignored. It is important not only for growth and development in adolescence, it is also vital for aging gracefully. Growth hormone is necessary for DNA repair, mitochondrial health, and maintaining muscle mass as we get older. Sometimes growth hormone stimulating peptides can be safely used to stimulate your own natural production of this vital hormone.
