What is BHT?
Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones our bodies produce. Commercially available hormones, such as Premarin may contain a small percentage (if any) of chemically identical hormone, and are often combined with other substances that are not chemically similar, increasing risk for harm, such as heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer. When we use bio-identical hormones that are chemically identical to natural human hormones, they may actually help decrease the risks of the aforementioned harms.
Why should I take bio-identical hormones?
Today there are many hormone disruptors in our environment, food supply, and medicine supply. Viruses and bacteria can also disrupt our natural hormones causing hormone levels to drop more quickly than they would otherwise. With decreased or ineffective hormones, there is an increased risk for developing chronic disease and accelerated aging. For example, as estradiol and testosterone levels decline, more plaque is allowed to build up in our brain and blood vessels than when these hormone levels were higher. Bone loss also accelerates with a natural decrease in hormones. Mood stabilization declines and Immune function decreases as natural hormone levels fall. Insulin resistance increases as natural hormones decrease, leading to chronic diseases such as diabetes, stroke, cancer and heart disease.
Bio-identical hormone therapy is alternative care primarily aimed at treating symptoms of hormone deficiency to improve quality of life.
Is BHT Safe?
Bio-identical hormone therapy is the best, safest way to help improve peri- and post-menopausal symptoms in women and declining testosterone in men. Providers who offer BHT as alternative care require special research-based training. With this training, providers understand how to optimize natural hormones to help decrease insulin resistance and improve quality of life. BHT can be safe and effective when administered under a trained professional, such as the providers at Wasatch Medical Spa.
