Hormones are not drugs.
Hormones are natural substances vital to your health, vitality and sexuality. As you age, your hormone production progressively decreases leading to and accelerating the aging process and the onset of age-related diseases.
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy, also called Bio-identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) restores your body to its youthful levels of hormones. The doctor prescribed doses of Natural Hormones never exceed what your body has already been accustomed to in its younger years so your body isn’t wrestling with new chemicals, just enjoying the benefits of the hormones that made it so vital and energetic when you were younger.
What Are Hormones?
Hormones are chemicals produced naturally in the body by the endocrine system (adrenal glands, thyroid, pituitary, and pancreas). These hormones travel all through the bloodstream and help carry out particular jobs in different organs or parts of the body. Hormones regulate the function of essentially every cell in the body. Some of the most common hormones in the body are: testosterone, estrogen, insulin, cortisol, and epinephrine.

How is Hormone Therapy Administered?
In these types of age therapy type applications, there’s two primary ways in which hormone therapy will be given to the client.
- Oral Medications – some hormones can be taken orally in pill form. If possible, we like to go this route. Completely non-invasive and gives us the great results that we expect.
- Injection – Some hormones are given as injections under the skin or into the muscle, depending on the area being treated and the hormone being used.
We never want our clients to forget that counteracting aging requires most to change all kinds of details about their life. Living your best life as you age is all about staying active, healthy, and just doing the things that you love.
