5 Reasons Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy May be Right for You

If you struggle with night sweats, hot flashes, weight gain, and other telltale signs of a hormone imbalance, you might feel like relief is nowhere in sight. These symptoms don’t just affect your physical health; they can also take a toll on your emotional well-being. You may feel depressed, anxious, and less like yourself.

At Empowerment Med in College Station, Texas, medical director Chloe Ntaimo, MD, specializes in therapies designed to rebalance your hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) mimics your body’s natural hormones, providing a more natural and effective way to alleviate symptoms of an imbalance.

How is BHRT different from hormone therapy?

If you’re dealing with symptoms of hormone imbalance, you might be considering hormone therapy for relief. Not all hormone therapies are the same. Here’s where BHRT stands out.

Traditional hormone therapy uses synthetic hormones that can be difficult for your body to process, sometimes leading to unwanted side effects like breast pain, dizziness, and even heart problems.

These synthetic hormones are not identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, which can make it harder for your body to recognize and use them effectively. This can leave you still struggling with symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, and mood swings.

BHRT, on the other hand, uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body produces naturally. Your body can process them more effectively, offering better symptom relief with fewer side effects. BHRT is customized to match your specific needs, helping you feel more like yourself again.

5 reasons to consider BHRT

Dr. Ntaimo works with you to customize BHRT for your specific needs. Here’s how BHRT can help address your most uncomfortable symptoms:

1. Revitalize your sex drive

A drop in hormone levels can lower your libido, leaving you disconnected and frustrated. BHRT helps restore your hormone balance, which can increase your sex drive and improve intimacy in your relationships.

2. Say goodbye to thinning hair

Hormone imbalances can cause your hair to thin and fall out. By rebalancing your hormones, BHRT promotes healthier hair growth and helps you regain thicker, fuller hair.

3. Find relief from hot flashes and night sweats

Hot flashes and night sweats are some of the most common and uncomfortable symptoms of hormone imbalance during menopause. BHRT can help regulate your body’s temperature control, reducing the frequency and intensity of these symptoms, so you can stay cool and comfortable throughout the day and night.

4. Regain control over your weight

Unexplained weight gain, especially around your midsection, is a frustrating side effect of hormone imbalance. BHRT can help regulate your metabolism and improve your body’s ability to manage weight, making it easier to shed those extra pounds.

5. Improve your mood and mental clarity

Hormone imbalances can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog, making it hard to focus and enjoy life. BHRT can help stabilize your mood and improve mental clarity, so you can feel more emotionally balanced and clear-headed.

Don’t let a hormone imbalance control your life. With customized BHRT at Empowerment Med, you can find the relief you need. Call Empowerment Med today, or schedule an appointment online to book your consultation with Dr. Ntaimo.
