As people age, the hormone levels in our bodies change. Many people experience gradual changes and notice little to no side effects or discomfort. Others will experience side effects such as those listed above and will be uncomfortable. Keeping our hormones balanced is essential to keeping ourselves healthy and happy.
Hormone replacement therapy is becoming a hot topic. Mainstream televisions shows such as “The Oprah Winfrey Show” are devoting programs to it and celebrities, such as Suzanne Somers and Robin McGraw (wife of Dr. Phil) have written books on their experiences with menopause and Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). More and more web forums related to BHRT are available online, all leading to an increasing awareness of this emerging therapy for the treatment of hormone imbalance.
Hormone levels can be measured by using blood or saliva tests. Your physician can order the tests or saliva test kits can be purchased at Hoye’s Pharmacy. These tests measure your hormone levels and indicate whether or not your hormones are in balance.
If you are experiencing what you feel is a decline in your hormone levels, ask your physician today about your options for Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). If your physician is not familiar with BHRT, let them know that we can provide training and assistance with learning more about the therapy. If you are in need of a physician, feel free to check out our “Find a Physician” page for a physician in your area. You can also schedule a personal consultation with one of our experienced hormone replacement therapy specialists to discuss your symptoms.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are compounded in our lab specific to each individual patient’s need. All hormones are from plant or natural sources and are physiologically identical to what our bodies produced in our younger years.
Our pharmacy works closely with many physicians already familiar with hormone replacement therapy. Feel free to check out our “Find a Physician” tab for a listing of physician’s in your area.
