8 Reasons Why Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy May Be Right for You

 About 80% of men and women experience hormone imbalance as they get older. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with the fatigue, weight gain, and other bothersome symptoms caused by aging. 

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores hormonal balance, allowing you to reclaim your vitality and overall well-being. You might receive treatment in the form of pills, injections, patches, creams, gels, or subdermal (under the skin) pellets containing hormones that are chemically identical to the ones the body naturally produces. 

Hormone therapy helps you feel and look years younger. Read on to discover eight key benefits, and then visit Lionel Bissoon, DO, at Liondale Medical on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City to find out if you’re a candidate.

How Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Can Transform Your Health

1. It helps you shed fat and build muscle

Hormone imbalance can increase stubborn fat while decreasing lean muscle mass. After beginning bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with the help of Dr. Bissoon, you’ll become leaner, feel stronger, and gain confidence.

2. It makes weight management easier

If you struggle to reach your goal weight, hormone therapy can help. Hormone therapy boosts your metabolism and increases lean mass, allowing you to burn more calories throughout the day.

3. It eases menopausal symptoms 

Fluctuating hormones during menopause can lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping or concentrating. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy combats these and other symptoms to enhance your quality of life — both physically and mentally. 

4. It improves sexual functioning

Sexual function often declines with age, especially after 40. Many men and women struggle with low libido. Women may experience vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse, while men can develop erectile dysfunction (ED). Hormone replacement therapy helps counteract these effects, restoring your intimate life. 

5. It boosts your energy levels

Men and women with hormone imbalances often experience fatigue. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores balance, delivering a powerful energy boost.

6. It supports stronger bones

Aging and unhealthy habits can weaken bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. You can strengthen your bones by combining a healthy lifestyle with hormone replacement therapy and vitamins if needed.

7. It promotes thicker hair

Aging often leads to thinning hair among men and women, partly due to declining hormone levels. Restoring balance with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy promotes thicker, fuller, healthier hair. 

8. It stabilizes your mood and mental well-being

Hormone fluctuations are linked to mood swings, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. To feel happier and more energized physically and mentally, consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at Liondale Medical. 

Find out if hormone replacement therapy is right for you

While not everyone is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, such as individuals with a history of certain cancers, many men and women benefit from this highly effective anti-aging solution. Dr. Bissoon discusses your symptoms and medical history, reviews your health goals, completes a physical exam, and orders blood tests or other diagnostic tests.
