Feeling Just a Bit Off? It Could Be Your Hormones

We get the question every day, and we don't really think twice about it when we answer.

How are you doing? And we almost always answer, “Fine,” even when we truly don't. Sometimes we feel a little run-down or listless. There isn't a specific symptom we complain about -- mainly just a lot of little things -- but we just know something isn't right. Most of us just press forward and try not to think about it.

But maybe we should. Sometimes those kinds of non-specific symptoms are associated with mild to severe hormone imbalances, many of which can be easily corrected. Just to give you an idea, here is a list of the different problems a simple, natural shift in your hormone balance can cause:

  • Weight gain
  • Loss of lean muscle mass
  • Bone deterioration
  • Loss of hair
  • Wrinkling and drying of the skin
  • Fatigue
  • Decreased libido
  • Hot flashes or Night sweats
  • Aches and pains
  • Poor sleep quality or insomnia
  • Nervousness, anxiety and irritability
  • Memory lapses
  • Depression
  • Reduced motivation
  • Headaches
  •  
  • But it doesn't have to be that way. Today, many of those issues can be treated through the use of Bio-identical Hormone therapy. Bio-identical Hormones have the same chemical structure as our own body's natural production. By using hormone replacements, you can relieve the symptoms above that might be associated with menopause, age or changes in lifestyle and reduce hormone imbalances. The hormone therapy can also reduce your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and memory loss.

  • Some of the benefits of a proper therapy regimen of bio-identical hormones include:
  •  
  • Increased muscle strength 
  • Increased lean body mass
  • Increased quality of life
  • Improved sleep quality
