Even though hormones decrease with age, replenishing them with Bio-Identical Hormones can result in increased energy, better memory, healthier heart, stronger bones and a more youthful glow!
Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to those the body produces. While hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone naturally decrease with age, the use of bio-identical hormones, as part of a prescribed hormone replacement therapy, can help to restore hormones more youthful levels. This can result in more energy, better memory, a healthier heart, stronger bones, and a more youthful glow.
What Can Occur When Hormones are Unbalanced in Both Men and Women?
Hormone imbalance in both men and women can result in disruptions in
- Sleep cycles
- Appetite and metabolic function
- Mood and stress levels
- Muscle function
- Reproduction and sexual functions
- Heart rate
- Growth and development
Imbalances in hormones can wreak havoc on your body, from fatigue and depression to muscle aches, dry skin, and thinning hair. Women often experience hormone imbalance during menopause as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, along with mood swings. Men often notice hormone imbalance by a decreased sex drive, osteoporosis and decreased muscle mass.
How Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Works
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is an all-natural alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy and derived from plant-based estrogens that are chemically identical to those in the human body. BHRT options include pills, creams, injections, and patches. Dr. Berger will work with you to create a customized plan, as well as continuously monitor hormone level and progress. Once a plan of action is determined, the bioidentical hormones will be administered to balance the hormones or lack thereof within your body. As BHRT adjust your hormone levels, you may see improvements in bone density, mood, sleep patterns, libido, weight maintenance and more.

Options Offered at Rejuvalife
Estrogen
is present in women in three forms: estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Injecting a bio-identical form of these hormones can treat menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, improve psychological well-being, and reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease and osteoporosis.
Progesterone
helps to balance the effects of estrogen. It relieves hormone-related mood swings, deters weight gain, helps restore libido, protects against breast fibrocysts and osteoporosis, and more.
Dihydroepiadosterone
(DHEA) helps to protect against age-related illnesses and plays a key role in increasing sexual arousal, mental and physical capacity, bone density, fat-free mass, IGF-1, and insulin sensitivity. DHEA can also improve the lining of the coronary arteries, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease.
Pregnenolone
is an important human hormone that serves many purposes in the body. As a supplement, pregnenolone improves memory, reduces stress, decreases arthritis inflammation, and improves mood.
Melatonin’s
main function is to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. With advancing age, melatonin production often decreases and the natural body rhythm is interrupted by insomnia. At Rejuvalife, we utilize melatonin therapy to provide our patients with a more restful sleep, stronger immunity, and reduced stress.
Am I a Candidate for BHRT?
BHRT has proven to help many people with issues from migraines, insomnia, and sexual drive to even skin hydration and elasticity. However, there are certain patients that should not use BHRT such as women who have experienced breast or ovarian cancers. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Berger to determine if BHRT is right for you.
What is the Cost of Bioidentical Hormone Treatment?
The cost of Bioidentical Hormone Treatment (BHRT) varies greatly by case. To guarantee the best results, it is recommended that you set up a consultation with Dr. Berger to determine if BHRT is the right path for you and if so, what bioidentical hormone therapies are the best course of action.

Side effects occur as your body is responding and adjusting to the increase in certain hormones. Benefits from undergoing BHRT should be felt within a few weeks and full effects can felt in three to six months. As with any hormone replacement therapy, there is the possibility of increased risks of blood clots, stroke, gallbladder disease and breast cancer.
