Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

West Palm Beach

Natural Hormones for Men and Women

Our bodies produce almost 200 hormones daily that float around keeping it functioning properly. It’s miraculous that the human body works as beautifully as it does! Keeping your hormones in balance is vital for day-to-day health and metabolism. Unfortunately, as we age, we stop producing the hormones that we did in our twenties and in the amounts necessary to retain our youthfulness.

Understanding Bioidentical Hormones

BioTE®’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) means replacement of your body’s natural hormones with hormones that are biologically and molecularly identical to those your body used to produce. In other words, bioidentical hormones have the same exact chemical structure and look the same under the microscope as those produced naturally by your body. This is different than synthetic hormones such as Prempro, Vivelle, and Premarin, which are not specifically designed for you and are often too strong and produce unbearable side effects. BioTE® is used to treat premenopause (PMS), perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. The three main hormones used in BHRT are progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. Replacement of your hormones needs to be balanced properly for “you”. Hormones are not “one size fits all” – your needs and responses are as unique to you as your fingerprints. What works best for you may not work for your best friend.

If we have the correct blend of these hormones, in the right amounts, at the right time, we feel fine. And if not, then we start to have problems. We start with the lowest dose that alleviates your symptoms. BHRT will benefit you not only by relief of menopause related symptoms, but also will maintain heart health, bone health, tissue growth and repair, muscle mass, fat loss, and mental sharpness. They also improve the mood and emotional stability, sleep, libido, energy levels, and help prevent memory loss.

For Men

And how about the man in your life?

Yes, there is a male menopause which is called Andropause. You may recognize it better as the “Grumpy Old Man Syndrome.” Men begin to feel that they are in a bad mood all the time and don’t know why. They may begin to experience intolerance and discontent with their job. It may just be low testosterone. When testosterone is replaced, men experience benefits with increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, improved mood and sense of well being, increased energy, and improved sexual performance.

FAQ’s

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and have the same chemical structure as the hormones manufactured by our bodies. Drug companies cannot patent a bioidentical structure; therefore they create “synthetic” hormones. The compounding pharmacy we use, BioTE, uses hormones are derived from natural sources such as soy and glandular extracts and are made at a compounding pharmacy to our specifications. Prescription drugs such as as Synthroid, Levothyroxin, Premarin and Provera are synthetic and we believe could be toxic to the human body. BioTE compounds the hormones and supplements to treat the exact levels of the patient’s specific needs. Not all levels are the same for each patient, so synthetic mass-produced drugs will not deliver optimal results necessary to make patients feel better.

How do I know if I am a candidate for BioTE®?

The aging process begins in your early 30s. If you are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, you would benefit greatly from our BHRT program:
