Bio-Identical Hormones on Maui: Why They're Right for You

Hormones are responsible for almost everything that occurs inside of our bodies. They govern our development, metabolism, emotions, sleep, and sexual function. They serve as our body's messengers, transmitting signals to all of its parts to regulate various functions. They also influence how quickly our bodies age. Unfortunately, our bodies manufacture fewer hormones as we age, contributing to the signs of aging. That’s where bio-identical hormone therapy comes in. Bio-identical hormones are used as an anti-aging treatment. So if you’re looking for an anti-aging solution, check out bio-identical hormones on Maui at Wailea People and Paws Pharmacy!

Let’s Start with the Basics

So… what are bio-identical hormones. Simply put, they are artificial hormones derived from plants. Scientists alter these hormones to mimic the chemical composition of bodily hormones, meaning that bio-identical hormones work exactly as if our body produced them itself!

Who Can Use Bio-identical Hormones?

Many individuals experience the effects of a hormonal imbalance some time in their lives. This means that their bodies produce too few or too much of a particular hormone. Unfortunately, even minor imbalances can feel drastic. Bio-identical hormones can be useful in this situation, particularly for women going through menopause or perimenopause since it helps with:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Sleeping problems
• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Memory loss or confusion, etc.

However, women who go through menopause are not the only ones who can use bio-identical hormones. Both men and women face hormone-related symptoms of aging. So hormone replacement therapy using bio-identical hormones is appropriate for all genders and a variety of ages.

Some benefits that bio-identical hormones provide include:

• Healthier skin
• Improved metabolism
• Better mental clarity
• Thicker hair
• Less bloating
• More energy
• Can sleep better at night
• Fewer hot flashes and night sweats
• Decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Improved sex drive

Are Bio-identical Hormones Safe?

You may have seen or heard warnings against traditional hormone therapy. Many doctors warn against the risks of using synthetic hormones. Some even say that long-term use can increase the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and heart disease. However, bio-identical hormones are not synthetic. In fact, bio-identical hormones mimic the hormones our bodies produce. They absorb and act just like natural hormones. As a result, bio-identical hormones are a safer alternative to synthetic ones. Scientists even specifically designed these hormones in response to the side effects of synthetic hormones.
