If you’ve ever played darts you know that the bullseye rarely gets hit. When it comes to improving your health through hormone replacement therapy, don’t you want every effort aimed toward a positive outcome to hit the bullseye? Of course the answer is a resounding, YES!
One way of ensuring this is to seek a bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) Provider who offers an individualized approach to your care that achieves your optimal results — AKA, a bullseye!
Every person experiences their own unique set of symptoms. They report issues including, but not limited to fatigue, daytime sleepiness, brain fog (just can’t seem to focus), insomnia, feeling anxious, lack of libido, muscle weakness, vaginal dryness, UTIs, hot flashes, and weight gain.
The frequency, duration and intensity of these symptoms vary across the population making it vital to assess where each person falls on these continuums. Thus, a one-size-fits-all hormone replacement treatment plan is simply not suitable.
Here are 3 reasons why hormone replacement therapy based on the practice of optimizing your hormone levels is preferred:
- Custom Designed Care: There is no one else like you. Every cell in your body is unique. Your physiology
and life experiences produce a specific profile worthy of special attention. Your lab values, health history, and current health should be considered when determining the body’s metabolic demands for hormones. - Individualized Data-Supported Doses: A treatment plan aimed at optimization includes obtaining a baseline measure of your hormone levels prior to starting. This, along with a multi-factor assessment offers essential information for creating your individualized optimal dose of hormone
pellet. When follow-up tests are completed, you and your Provider will have reliable, comparative information to monitor your progress. Accurate data supports sound
decision-making, which fosters confidence and trust in your healthcare Provider, and yourself. - Convenience: Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy requires an office visit approximately once every 3 to 6 months depending on your body’s hormonal demand. Other methods
involving creams, pills or shots require a daily or weekly commitment, which can contribute to patient noncompliance and eventual abandonment of treatment.
Making the decision to commence hormone replacement therapy of any kind can be challenging. Valid and reliable information will alleviate your concerns and help you make a decision that is best for your individual needs. The more you learn, the more likely it is that you’ll hit your bullseye.
