If you’ve had trouble getting quality sleep at night, putting on or maintaining muscle mass, or dealing with fatigue and the feeling of being drained, you may have attributed this to stress or aging. However, their hormone levels naturally drop as men age, leaving them vulnerable to unwanted symptoms. If you’ve been dealing with any of the above symptoms, you may be a good candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy helps clients regain energy, improve muscle strength, increase mental clarity and lose weight more quickly. If you think you may be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, working with a knowledgeable provider to help optimize your hormones can be life-changing.
What Hormone Replacement Therapy Can Help
As we grow older, symptoms of aging are said to be inevitable, but many of these issues can be treated directly through hormone replacement. Symptoms like decreased sexual performance, weight gain, brain fog, and lack of energy are all addressed through testosterone replacement! Men’s transition point in life isn’t as straightforward as menopause, but they still lose testosterone regularly after age 30. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help boost energy and prevent significant diseases. Some signs for men that you could be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy include:
- Difficulty sleeping at night
- Decreased muscle strength
- Reduced sexual desire
- Exhaustion, low energy, and fatigue
- Weight gain, particularly around the stomach and midsection area
- Thinning hair
- Reduced mental clarity and difficulty concentrating
- Dryer skin
- Moodiness, anxiety, or depression
- Inability to lose weight despite a healthy diet and lifestyle
- Muscle and/or joint pain
- Decreased muscle strength
Just as women experience menopause, men undergo a similar, albeit less pronounced, transition called andropause. This phase can begin as early as 30 years old when men commonly start producing less and less testosterone on their own. Beyond affecting men via the above-listed symptoms, testosterone depletion has also been linked to an increased risk of diseases such as dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
Are you experiencing any of the symptoms we’ve covered? If so, you may be a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It’s essential that when choosing a provider for hormone therapy, you work with someone who can create a tailored health plan that works with your body and your wellness goals. There are various modalities available to you regarding hormone replacement therapy, so we encourage you to discuss which may be suitable for you with your provider.
