Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones for Men

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

Bioidentical Hormones for Men

While we tend to focus on women in terms of hormone imbalance, it is also a big issue for men. A hormone imbalance in men can lead to symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, weight gain and depression. We now know that middle-aged men go through the andropause or male menopause. This occurs due to a reduction in the level of testosterone created by the body as men age. The result is another range of symptoms including insomnia, osteoporosis, weakness and memory impairment. Testosterone replacement is important as its level decreases by 1% per year after the age of 40 and this is where bioidentical hormones for men come into play.

What are Bioidentical Hormones?

These are hormones developed to exactly match the hormones naturally created in the body. They are an exact replica molecule for molecule and as they are designed to replicate naturally occurring hormones, the side effects are minimal. Bioidentical hormones for men such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone are metabolized easily by the body so it incorporates them without a problem.

Bioidentical hormones are superior to their synthetic counterpart because the latter are not identical to the hormones produced by the body. Synthetic hormones are often rejected by the body for this reason and can cause side effects even more severe than the symptoms they are supposed to combat. Synthetic hormones treat one deficiency without accounting for how this treatment impacts the other hormones found in the body.

Finding Balance

When you decide on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), you need to work with experts in the field. They will determine your existing hormone levels in order to create a personalized treatment plan. This is important because adding too many hormones can lead to a variety of health problems and this is why an expert’s touch is required. You can also expect to receive a fitness and diet plan tailored to your needs. Over time, your hormone levels will gradually return to their optimal level and you’ll find that the negative symptoms begin to vanish.

When bioidentical hormones for men are correctly prescribed, you can look forward to an increase in strength, muscle mass, libido and erectile function. Patients report a sense of wellbeing and a massive increase in energy. Additionally, restoring your hormones to their natural level reduces the risk of medical conditions such as depression, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Ultimately, bioidentical hormones for men improve their health, fitness and state of mind.
