Hormone Therapy

HOW IT WORKS

Everyone wants to stay healthy and active for as long as possible, but as you age, your body produces fewer hormones, and this can negatively impact your wellness. 

The board-certified physicians and clinical staff here at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics in Wellington Florida offer hormone balancing therapy to restore your vitality and reduce disruptive symptoms like libido loss and hot flashes. As you age your hormone levels decrease, leading to a variety of symptoms that interfere with your health and vitality. 

Hormone pellet therapy is a highly personalized treatment to replenish your body’s hormone levels and reduce or eliminate your symptoms. We use custom-made hormone pellets to replace the estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones that your body is no longer producing. Unless you already have blood work, we advise purchasing the bioidentical hormones test below before inquiring about your pellet treatment.  

CAUSES

Everyone will experience natural periods of hormonal imbalance or fluctuations at particular points in their life.

Several medical conditions are known to impact some, or several, of the endocrine glands. Certain lifestyle habits and environmental factors may also play a role in hormonal imbalances.

Causes of hormonal imbalances include:
• chronic or extreme stress
• type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• hyperglycemia (overproduction of glucagon)
• hypoglycemia
• underactive thyroid
• overactive thyroid
• over- or underproduction of the parathyroid hormone
• poor diet and nutrition
• being overweight
• abuse of anabolic steroid medications
• solitary thyroid nodules
• Cushing’s syndrome
• Addison’s disease

SYMPTOMS

Unbalanced hormones can make you feel like a stranger in your own skin and a shadow of your former self. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you may be a candidate for hormone balancing therapy.

Balance Your Hormones Today!

1. Why should I use bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are an exact replica of the hormones naturally produced by the body. The difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones is that, although both are created in labs, synthetic hormones are not identical to the hormones naturally created in your body. Bioidentical hormones match your body’s hormones molecule by molecule. 

 
Depending on what your symptoms and which hormone(s) your body needs, Rene’ McCarty, PA-C, may choose to prescribe bioidentical hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, melatonin or others as needed. Human life expectancy has doubled over the last 100 years. The soft tissue glands responsible for producing hormones are being forced to produce even longer. Factor in our increasingly stressful lives, poor nutrition and lack of proper fitness; the results are naturally declining levels of hormones in our bodies. 
 
Our patients have successfully used bioidentical hormones for years. Men, who suffer from the symptoms of andropause or women suffering from menopause or perimenopause, use bioidentical hormones to replace natural hormones that decline in their bodies with age. Comprehensive research proves the bioidentical hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are not only safe, but have a positive impact on diseases like osteoporosis and prostate cancer.

2. What's the best age to consider hormone therapy?

At Dr. A&B Wellness we believe most people should have their hormones checked by the age of 40 or earlier if they are experiencing symptoms of menopause or andropause. The way to prevent illness and to optimize one’s health is to take an active role in addressing health care risks before they become a problem. Getting tested when you still feel good gives you a benchmark for later comparison as the inevitable hormone changes and decline begin.

3. Why do women need hormones before, during & after menopause?

No matter what your age, if your female hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) are unbalanced, you may suffer ill effects such as hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping, mood swings depression, anxiety, memory loss, vaginal dryness, fatigue, loss of your sex drive and even weight gain. Women with balanced hormones integrated with proper nutrition and fitness can have a better quality of life as they age.

4. Why do men need testosterone replacement?

Production of the hormone testosterone begins to decline as men age, just as in women and many begin to experience symptoms of low testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for maintaining mental focus, energy, metabolism, muscle mass, fat levels and sex drive. Men can restore their vitality and reduce symptoms of andropause by balancing hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy.

5. What is pellet therapy?

Pellet therapy is a sustainable delivery method for bioidentical hormone therapy. Every three to six months a pellet, made of bioidentical hormones, is inserted just under the patient’s skin either on the upper part of your buttocks or the upper arm. The pellets contain customized levels of estradiol or testosterone and react to the needs of the body. They dissolve slowly, releasing the bioidentical hormones over time.
