Bioidentical HRT Myths vs. Facts

There are many myths surrounding bioidentical hormone therapy. Let's separate fact from fiction:

Myth Fact
Bioidentical hormones are not FDA-approved The custom compounds made in pharmacies are not FDA-approved, but the bioidentical ingredients used are approved.
BHRT is unsafe or risky Bioidentical hormones have a safe clinical track record when properly dosed and monitored by a physician.
The body cannot absorb synthetic hormones Many FDA-approved products contain bioidentical estrogen and progestin that the body recognizes.
Plant-based hormones are always better The molecular structure matches human hormones - not necessarily the origin.
Saliva testing is inaccurate Saliva tests can accurately measure unbound free hormone levels. Values correlate reasonably with serum tests.

As you can see, these common myths about bioidentical HRT lack scientific backing. Custom-compounded BHRT is a safe, effective option when prescribed by a qualified, experienced bioidentical hormone doctor.

Lifestyle and Nutrition Recommendations

  • Exercise - Ideally 30 minutes daily to help balance hormones
  • Healthy diet - Focus on whole foods high in vitamins and antioxidants
  • Stress management - Utilize techniques like yoga, meditation, massage
  • Quality sleep - Stick to consistent bedtime schedule. Avoid screens before bed
  • Alcohol moderation - Limit to 1 drink daily since alcohol impacts hormones

Making positive lifestyle changes reduces symptoms and enhances BHRT results. Our clinicians provide personalized recommendations to help patients achieve optimal wellness on their hormone replacement journey.

The Mental Health Connection

Hormone imbalances frequently manifest in anxiety, depression, trouble concentrating, and other mental health issues. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy often alleviates these symptoms by restoring balance.

Clinical study highlights:

  • 76% of peri/post-menopausal women had less depression and irritability on bioidentical estradiol and micronized progesterone.
  • Men with low testosterone showed significant improvement in cognitive scores, concentration, memory, and depression after 24 weeks of bioidentical testosterone therapy.

Balancing hormones, especially estrogen and testosterone, benefits mental clarity and emotional health for both women and men. Our specialized endocrinology team helps patients realize these quality-of-life improvements.

BHRT for Anti-Aging and Longevity

A growing body of research confirms bioidentical hormones enhance longevity and slow the aging process through multiple mechanisms:

  • Estrogen thickens skin, increases collagen, repairs sun damage
  • Testosterone fuels metabolism, builds lean muscle, burns fat
  • DHEA bolsters immunity, reduces inflammation, counters cortisol
  • Thyroid hormone maintains weight, energy, cardiac function

By returning hormones to more youthful levels, high quality BHRT promotes a more vital, healthier life into older age. Renew Medical Clinic develops custom treatments focused on living life to the fullest!
