Hormone therapy is often used to treat hormonal imbalance that occurs as we age. With the decreased natural hormones, you can experience symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, loss of muscle mass, increase in insulin resistance, and decreased libido. Menopausal women are more likely to experience symptoms related to hormone imbalance. Men can also experience hormone imbalance and are afflicted with symptoms of low testosterone such as decreased strength, energy, and sexual dysfunction. It’s important to note that even younger men who are overweight can struggle with low testosterone levels.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is achieved by replacing hormones that may be depleted or low. There are a variety of methods used to replace hormones including topical, weekly injections, patches, pellets, and oral medications. In addition to relieving symptoms, optimizing hormones can also help with weight loss in both men and women.
It’s important to be aware that hormone therapy comes with certain risks. These risks can vary based on the specific type of hormone therapy, the dosage, how long you take the medication, and your individual health.
