NATURAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN MELBOURNE
Guyer Wellness Group Center would like to help you look and feel years younger with hormone replacement therapy options. Hormonal balance is necessary for continuing good health as you age. Hormone replacement has been used successfully in the United States, Europe, and Australia as early as 1939.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Pellets Hormone Therapy
We recommend treatment using Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Pellets, which have shown remarkable results in both men and women without the side effects of synthetic drugs. Pellet therapy uses bio-identical, all-natural estrogen and testosterone, delivered by tiny pellets inserted just under your skin. These pellets serve as a storehouse of hormones which your body can access as needed. The pellets deliver a consistent level of hormones and outperform oral, patch, and cream delivery methods with fewer side effects.
How Can I Tell if My Hormones are Out of Balance?
How do you know if you are developing signs of hormonal decline? The bad news is most people will have symptoms. Only the earliest hormonal declines are with no symptoms, Most people will begin to develop symptoms slowly over time, so slowly that their progression at times are barely noticeable, and often gradually accepted as the normal and part of aging. Don’t accept this fate! If your hormones are out of balance, you will begin to experience signs and symptoms such as:
- Low Libido
- Fatigue
- Difficulty Sleeping
- Hair Thinning or Loss
- Hot Flashes
- Headaches
- Night or Day Sweats
- Mood Swings
- Palpitations
- Loss of Memory
- Weight Gain
- Depression
- Restless Sleep
- Foggy Brain
- Inability to Lose Weight
- Vaginal Dryness
- Breast Tenderness
- Muscle Pain
- Irritability
If you are experiencing 2 or more of these symptoms, this is a sign that your hormones may be out of balance. The longer and more severe the symptoms occur, the greater the imbalance and should not go unchecked. Hormone balance is vital to peak aging and optimized health.
Menopausal related hormone deficiencies start around 30 in most women. Disturbances can involve deficiencies to imbalances of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Anxiety and insomnia are often the first symptoms developing in the 30’s and often mistreated with xanax or ambien instead of progesterone.
The signs of menopause and related hormonal issues include:
- Weight gain
- Hot flashes & night sweats
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Low libido
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
- Memory loss
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Premenstrual symptoms
- Vaginal dryness
Based upon symptoms, appropriate testing can confirm hormonal imbalances, and at Guyer Wellness Group we can recommend a course of therapy designed to bio-identically replace the deficiencies.
Guys, if you have noticed weight growing in the middle, diminished drive, diminished libido and sexual function, depression or mental dullness, any of these can be a symptom of hormonal deficiency. In men we call it andropause, and it usually implies a loss of testosterone. I will state here though that hormones act in symphony, se lack of any of them can contribute to your symptoms. Examples would be mild thyroid, growth hormone, or adrenal deficiencies. These commonly co-exist with testosterone deficiency syndrome. The signs of andropause and related hormonal issues include:
- Muscle loss
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Sleep problems
- Night sweats in men
- Lower sex drive
- Irritability
- Depression
- Hair loss
- ED
- Urinary problems
- Memory loss
Based upon your symptoms Guyer Wellness Group can advise a series of blood and sometimes saliva tests, to evaluate your hormonal and health status. Guyer Wellness Group will give you a personalized prescription for more youth!
Adrenal Problems
The first thing to know about adrenal and cortisol is to forget all that you know from conventional medicine. Standard textbooks and regular physicians are clueless on the subject. I know because I almost wasted away with adrenal insufficiency under the eyes of a medical “specialist.” Traditional medical physicians can diagnose only at a very end stage problem, not any in their earlier symptomatic period.
The main deficiency is cortisol or the so called “stress hormone.” Cortisol levels can be too high or too low. The diagnosis is largely determined through salivary testing.
- Low Cortisol Symptoms
- Fatigue
- Lightheadedness or dizziness
- Weight loss
- High cortisol symptoms
- Weight gain especially abdominal
- Hunger
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Insomnia
