How Hormone Replacement Therapy Can Improve Your Quality of Life

Many people experience problems due to hormonal imbalances, especially as they age. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a powerful way to alleviate symptoms like low energy, sleeping difficulties, joint pain, hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. At Loop Wellness Clinic, we offer custom BioTE® treatment plans for men and women so they can regain balance once again.

How do hormone imbalances interfere with daily life?

Hormones are little chemical messengers that help regulate different bodily functions and processes. When these hormones become imbalanced, it can cause a wide range of symptoms. For women, this means going through menopause or perimenopause, while men experience imbalances due to age-related declines in testosterone production.

These imbalances can interfere with daily life in many ways:

• Low energy: Hormonal imbalances can lead to fatigue and low energy, making it harder to get through the day.
• Sleep disturbances: Changes in hormone levels can make it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night.
• Joint pain: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to joint pain and stiffness. This makes it challenging to exercise or perform daily tasks.
• Hot flashes/night sweats: These common symptoms of menopause are caused by hormonal fluctuations that trigger sudden bouts of intense heat and excessive sweating.
• Vaginal dryness: Menopause decreases estrogen levels, leading to vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and even a decrease in sex drive.

In some cases, a hormone imbalance can increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Instead of living with these issues in Leesburg, VA, Loop Wellness Clinic recommends bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

What is BHRT?

You may have heard the term before, but what is BHRT? Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves supplementing the body with necessary hormones to alleviate unwanted symptoms. It can be done in the form of topical creams, drops, or pellets that are carefully inserted under the skin.

At Loop Wellness Clinic, we offer BioTE as part of our treatment program. BioTE hormone replacement is associated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, meaning the hormones used are identical to those produced naturally in the body. This allows for more effective absorption and better results.

Which method of BHRT is right for me?

During a consultation at Loop Wellness Clinic, our team will discuss your symptoms and overall health to determine the ideal method of BHRT. For example, pellets are a popular choice as they provide a slow, consistent release of hormones over time. We also offer topicals and sublingual hormones for your convenience.

When will I see results from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Results vary, but many patients at Loop Wellness Clinic have reported experiencing relief within a few weeks of starting BHRT. It may take more time for the hormones to reach optimal levels and for the body to adjust, so remember to follow up with our staff regularly. We can make minor adjustments to ensure you're receiving the best possible care.
