What is HRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an effective treatment that uses hormones that are identical to those produced naturally by your body. HRT has been revolutionary for men that are entering the later stages of their life. This has become a great alternative to traditional hormone therapy which uses synthetic hormones such as injectable testosterone or some that are derived from Premarin (horse urine). HRT is a customized therapy based on your needs, as opposed to the “one size fits all” mass-produced hormone therapies.
Testosterone Imbalance Symptoms
The symptoms men experience from hormonal imbalance are often ignored.
Adequate levels of testosterone are vital to a man’s health maintenance and overall well-being.
Here we summarize symptoms based on the 3 areas we focus on, Mental Health, Sexual Health, and Human Performance
Mental Health
What you may be experiecing
Testosterone is vital to the maintenance of a healthy metabolism and improves physical fitness. When you don’t have enough testosterone, your body works inefficiently. It’s normal to feel tired every now and then. However, if you’re experiencing this on a larger scale, it’s time to have your hormone levels evaluated. Low testosterone levels can cause fatigue, tiredness, and an overall lack of motivation. These symptoms can be so overwhelming that they can also impair your memory and concentration.
Healthy testosterone levels are essential for maintaining proper mental health. Testosterone is needed to sustain solid cognitive functions. Low testosterone levels can result in poor mental concentration and attention. Other common symptoms can be severe mood swings, anxiety, and general irritability.
Your sleep patterns can be disrupted by low testosterone. When testosterone levels are low and cortisol (the stress hormone) is high, this can lead to chronic insomnia. In some cases, low testosterone can trigger adrenal exhaustion thereby exacerbating insomnia.
When there is tension in the body, cortisol, the stress hormone, rises with chronic insomnia. Cortisol levels that are consistently high will trigger a hormone pattern that decreases testosterone production. Lack of sleep can produce a dangerous cycle that can lead to other medical problems including, weight gain, nausea, memory loss, difficulty focusing, and long-term problems like heart disease and sleep apnea.
Men with low levels of testosterone are prone to experience anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings. For this reason, HRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) has been a very effective treatment to address these symptoms.

Sexual Health
What you may be experiecing
Low testosterone can lead to low libido. Testosterone is an important fuel for a man’s sex drive. While some men will keep their sexual appetite even though their testosterone levels are low, the majority of males will see their sex drive drop if the levels continue to drop.
Low testosterone is proven to cause sexual problems such as lack of sexual drive and erectile dysfunction (ED). Inadequate production of testosterone is not the only cause of erectile dysfunction, however, when ED has occurred due to low testosterone levels, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may improve the problem.
The ability to perform sexually is an important part of a man’s confidence. So, when they have trouble satisfying their partner sexually, many lose confidence in themselves. This can also lead to depression and anxiety.
The inability to satisfy your partner sexually can deeply affect the relationship. For a man, this can make them feel demasculinized. This can affect the relationship in a variety of ways. On one side, the man may feel a lack of confidence and self-worth. For their partner, it can be frustrating and can make them feel unattractive or undesirable.

Human Performance
What you may be experiecing
Testosterone contributes to a number of important physical male characteristics. It encourages muscle development in both men and women. As men age and their testosterone levels decline, this hormone imbalance can predispose them to unnecessary fat gain.
Muscle also plays an important role in losing fat. Muscle tissue burns even more calories than fat tissue. People with a lack of muscle are more likely to store the extra calories as fat when they overeat.
Joint pain can be caused by hormonal imbalances. These imbalances can occur in men with low testosterone, also known as “low T.”
The most common areas of the body where joint pain can occur are the knees, elbows, and back.
Testosterone aids muscle growth. Low testosterone can result in a reduction of muscle mass. Androgen receptors are testosterone receptors found in muscle cells. Muscle fibers are retained as testosterone binds to receptors. When testosterone is low, this halts this process and muscle deteriorates.
A common symptom of low testosterone is weight gain and an increase in fat. Often times the fat gain is centered around the abdomen.
