What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement is a type of therapy treatment that doctors will recommend if your body is not naturally producing enough hormones. Medical science has made great strides in recent years discovering the link between hormone levels and the prevalence of such age-related conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, atherosclerosis, and even some types of cancer. When a patient undergoes bioidentical hormone therapy, they’re having hormones introduced to their body that are so similar to those produced naturally that the body is unable to tell the difference. The result is a decrease in the occurrence and effects of many of these adult-onset diseases.

What are the Benefits for Women?
There are many different benefits for women with the use of bioidentical hormone replacement. Often women in Rhode Island start with hormone therapy to help get relief from symptoms of menopause. Other benefits include improved sleep levels, memory improvement, regulating menstrual cycles, help with depression symptoms, and many more.
What are the Benefits for Men?
Male patients in Rhode Island start with hormone therapy to help balance out their testosterone and other hormones. As you age, your hormones often become imbalanced. Men receiving bioidentical hormone replacement have reported higher energy levels, a better libido, an easier time sleeping, an increase in the capacity to exercise, and improved muscle growth, among other benefits.
