Whether you're experiencing menopausal symptoms or grappling with unexplained hormonal issues, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could offer potential benefits for you. At La Belle Vie, our hormone therapy specialists is ready to provide this service to address your needs.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), similar to traditional HRT, aims to supplement hormone levels in individuals with deficiencies or imbalances. What sets BHRT apart is its use of human-made hormones derived from plant sources. These hormones are chemically identical at a molecular level to those naturally occurring in our bodies. This sets BHRT apart from traditional HRT, which often employs synthetic substances, such as those derived from pregnant mare urine. Consequently, BHRT is often considered a more natural alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy.
BHRT can be administered through various method including:
-
Injections
-
Pellets

Pills

What are hormones and how do they affect aging?
Hormones operate as chemical messengers dispatched by your brain and endocrine system, coursing through your bloodstream to oversee and uphold the proper functioning of nearly every bodily process. This includes growth and development, metabolism, mood, reproduction, and sexual health. These chemical messengers are released directly into the bloodstream by various glands situated throughout the body, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pancreas glands. Additionally, sex hormones are produced by the ovaries and testes. Guided by the directives from your brain, these hormones traverse the bloodstream, reaching the organs and tissues they regulate and control. Thus, hormones play a crucial role in maintaining our health and fundamental bodily functions.
Nevertheless, like any cellular system or organism, hormones undergo changes with age. As we grow older, hormone levels may decline or become unbalanced, and the responsiveness of target organs or tissues may diminish. For instance, aging often leads to decreased responsiveness to hormones produced by the hypothalamus gland, influencing the entire endocrine system and regulating aspects such as appetite, body temperature, stress levels, memory, and energy maintenance. The levels of parathyroid hormones tend to increase with age, impacting bone density and elevating the risk of osteoporosis. Notably, the most prominent hormonal changes associated with aging pertain to sex hormones, namely testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. The reduction in the production of these hormones is responsible for conditions like menopause, andropause, and post-menopause.
How can you recognize the need for hormone replacement therapy?
If you find yourself with low or imbalanced levels of specific hormones, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) might be a suitable option. However, you may experience symptoms of low or imbalanced hormones without identifying the root cause. Therefore, it's beneficial to be aware of signs indicating the potential need for HRT. Some signals that you might benefit from HRT include:
- Improved concentration
- Mood stability
- Healthier skin
- Weight loss aid
- Enhanced sexual performance
- Better sleep
- Muscle mass retention
- Reduced hot flashes and night sweats
- Lower risk of certain diseases, and more
