A simple blood test will be performed to evaluate your need for hormone replacement. Based on your medical history and lab results, a determination of your need for estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone will be made. The goal of treatment will be to reach a hormone level that is similar to a young woman.
Menopause, with all of its age-related infirmities, is often seen as just another stage of life to be endured. Today, we know that we don’t have to accept hormonal imbalance as a grim reality. Natural hormone replacement therapy has helped improve not only the quality of our lives, but also how long we live them.
Since the 1940s, research on the human body has established the importance of hormone balance and hormone replacement therapy in overall health. Correcting this imbalance can provide numerous benefits including relief from hot flashes, improved sleep, increased energy levels, decreased body fat and increased sex drive.
Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Without hormone replacement therapy, the loss of estrogen puts her at increased risk for premature ovary failure, osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, tooth loss, impaired vision, Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. The longer a woman is without the protection of her own estrogen, the greater the risk for serious health consequences of these conditions.
The goal of hormone replacement therapy is to produce consistent levels of hormones in your body. At BetterYou we use a unique delivery system by inserting bio-identical hormone pellets beneath the skin. These pellets are then naturally absorbed by your body mimicking your body's healthy production of hormones2. Unlike other forms of treatment, pellets produce more reproducible estrogen levels faster and remain steady longer. These levels are then monitored by our providers to ensure proper dosing.
