Bioidentical Hormones

Hormone Replacement Therapy

In the past, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was routinely used by doctors to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes or mood swings. However, the medical attitudes about hormone therapies changed abruptly in 2002, when a large clinical trial found traditional hormone treatments actually posed more health risks than benefits for postmenopausal women. As a result of those findings, long-term hormone replacement therapy for the prevention of postmenopausal conditions is no longer routinely recommended but many doctors still prescribe estrogen for short-term relief in select cases.

Although the hormone lost as part of the aging process is different in women, men do experience hormonal imbalances as they age. No energy to exercise, depression, difficulty losing weight, low sex drive and unwanted belly fat are common to both sexes. At Metabolic Research Center, our Board Certified Physicians created weight loss plans that combine a nutritionally balanced approach with one-on-one supervision and life management education to help both men and women lose weight fast and live a healthier life. In fact, you could be just days away from looking and feeling your best.

Natural Bioidentical Hormones

Natural bioidentical hormones are plant-based or compounded hormones that are identical in molecular structure to those naturally produced by the body. However, hormonal rebalancing requires more effort than simply taking a pill and bioidentical hormones should only be taken in a medically-supervised approach. At Metabolic, we use cutting-edge testing and individual evaluations to determine the appropriate use of natural bioidentical hormones and other important supplements. Plus, each Metabolic weight loss plan combines nutritionally-balanced meals with personal supervision and life management education to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight.
