Will Bioidentical Hormone Replacement In Birmingham, Michigan Help You?

Most people associate hormone deficiency with the elderly. In reality, however, hormone levels begin to decline in many people as early as age 35. Research has shown that:

• Testosterone production in men begins to decline in the mid-thirties at 1-2% a year, resulting in the gradual onset of symptoms, including hair loss, lower energy, weight gain, lower sex drive, high cholesterol, and reduced mental sharpness.
• Estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate in women in the mid-thirties as women enter perimenopause. This is the stage before premenopause and menopause. This fluctuation in hormone levels can result in increased depression and anxiety, trouble sleeping, unexplained weight gain, wrinkles and “crepe” skin, and an increased risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.

Tragically, many people experiencing these symptoms are unaware of the true cause of their issues. They think their symptoms are caused by normal signs of aging—or if they are aware that something is different and wrong, they visit a succession of traditional doctors, hoping to find a diagnosis and treatment program that will ease their symptoms, but ultimately finding only disappointment. If this sounds familiar to you, there is good news: your symptoms are likely caused by a hormone deficiency, and there is a treatment. We have worked with thousands of patients to completely reverse their symptoms.
