At What Age Should You Start Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?

Hormones exert a profound influence on your overall well-being, appearance, and behavior, and they are a crucial aspect of your health journey. As we age, our bodies undergo hormonal transitions that can result in a diverse array of alterations, including weight fluctuations, diminished sexual desire, mood swings, and a decreased libido. While these changes are part of the natural aging process, you don’t have to endure them.

At Pure Health Clinics, we recognize the importance of addressing these hormonal shifts, and our treatment options are often recommended for individuals aged 30 and above. However, you might be wondering when it’s appropriate to discontinue the use of bioidentical hormones. To provide you with clarity on this matter, let’s explore what hormone replacement therapy entails and when it may no longer be necessary for you.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?

At Pure Health Clinics, we understand the pivotal role hormones play in your daily life, often working behind the scenes without you even realizing it. They serve as messengers in your bloodstream and tissues, orchestrating vital processes such as sexual function, reproduction, mood regulation, and metabolism.

As the years go by, your hormone levels undergo transformations. In many instances, they start to dwindle, leading to a decrease in overall hormone levels. This can exert a significant influence on both your physical appearance and your overall sense of well-being. Our solution, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), is designed to address this natural aging process. By inserting a pellet beneath your skin, BHRT delivers the hormones your body needs, helping to restore balance and alleviate the unwanted symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.

Hormone therapy is a versatile option that can benefit both women and men, offering relief from a broad spectrum of symptoms related to hormonal imbalances. For women, hormone therapy can provide relief from:

  • Hot flashes
  • Memory loss
  • Low energy levels
  • Weight gain
  • Mood swings
  • Low sex drive

For men, hormone therapy can provide relief from:

  • Mood swings
  • Weight gain
  • Low energy levels
  • Low sex drive

Moreover, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can extend its support to individuals dealing with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and thyroid disorders. In the case of fibromyalgia, BHRT can help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and muscle pain. For those with thyroid issues, BHRT can assist in managing weight gain, high cholesterol levels, and even heart-related concerns.

At Pure Health Clinics, we’re committed to helping you achieve a healthier, more balanced life through personalized hormone therapy solutions.
