Hormone Optimization | SageMED
At SageMED in Bellevue, we specialize in Hormone Optimization and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help you achieve balanced hormones and enhanced well-being.
What Is Hormone Optimization?
Hormone Optimization involves adjusting your hormone levels to achieve a state of balance that supports your overall health and well-being. Unlike traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), which primarily focuses on replacing missing hormones after menopause or andropause, hormone optimization aims to fine-tune your hormone levels to optimal ranges, enhancing your quality of life.
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline. For women, estrogen and progesterone levels decrease during menopause, while men experience a gradual reduction in testosterone levels, a phase often referred to as andropause. These hormonal changes can lead to various symptoms that impact daily life.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical Hormones are substances that mimic the molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced by your body. They are derived from plant sources, such as soy or yams, and are processed to match the molecular structure of endogenous hormones. Common bioidentical hormones utilized in therapy include estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) utilizes these hormones to address hormonal imbalances, providing a more natural approach to hormone therapy. At SageMED, we offer various forms of bioidentical hormones, including pellets, custom compounded topical creams, patches, pills, and more, ensuring a personalized treatment that maximizes effectiveness.
It's essential to first discuss the benefits and risks with your healthcare provider.
