Hormone Balancing Q&A
What are hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers that help manage many of your bodily functions, such as:
- Mood
- Temperature regulation
- Digestion
- Respiration
- Metabolism
- Sexual function
- Sleep
Even minor hormone fluctuations can have drastic effects on your emotions, physical health, libido, and sleep quality. The sooner your specialist identifies your hormone imbalance and provides hormone balancing treatments, the sooner you can start feeling like yourself again.
Who needs hormone balancing?
Many conditions can cause a hormone imbalance, including:
Menopause
Menopause occurs when your reproductive years end after your final period. During this time, your declining estrogen levels can affect your mood, temperature, and sexual function.
Andropause
While women experience low estrogen levels during menopause, low testosterone (low T) often occurs during andropause for men. Low T often causes men to experience abdominal weight gain, low muscle mass, and erectile dysfunction.
Thyroid disorders
The thyroid is a small gland at the front of your neck that controls many bodily functions. If your thyroid produces too much or too little of its hormones, it can affect your weight, emotions, sleep quality, and more.
What are the signs I need hormone balancing?
Hormone disorders affect every individual differently, but the most common signs include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Weight gain or loss
- Low muscle mass
- Fatigue
- Mood swings
- Vaginal dryness
- Erectile dysfunction
- Low libido
- Dry skin
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Certain hormone disorders, such as menopause, can also cause thinning hair. After an initial evaluation, the Bright Wellness team can determine whether you’re a candidate for hormone balancing treatments.
What can I expect from hormone balancing?
Bright Wellness provides personalized hormone balancing testing services to find the appropriate treatment. After identifying your hormone imbalance, the team may recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Balancing hormones with HRT can help you reclaim your quality of life. HRT targets your specific hormone imbalance to relieve your symptoms. The treatment is available in several different forms, including:
- Hormone patches
- Oral pills
- Topical creams
- Injections
- Vaginal rings
Your medical history, physical exam, and bloodwork help the team determine the best form of HRT for your imbalance.
