Benefits of Hormone Replacement

Some of the many perks of HRT include increased vitality, alertness, and even improved colorectal health.[1] The benefits of each recipient’s treatment is tailored to their needs, but the following are just some of what our clients may expect.

Benefits of HRT

  • More stamina and energy
  • Mental clarity
  • Improvement in lean muscle production
  • Better mood regulation
  • Sleep regulation
  • Improved sexual performance
  • Healthier hair and skin
  • Increased bone density
  • Alleviation of hot flashes (for women)

To reap the rewards of HRT for yourself, schedule a consultation at Wellness 1st.

Ideal Candidates 

Age affects everyone uniquely, so each client deserves an individualized approach to hormone replacement. Men experience their golden years much differently than women. Eligible male candidates for hormone replacement therapy exhibit one or more of the following conditions:

  • Dry skin
  • Thinning hair
  • Irritability
  • Weight fluctuations
  • ED (erectile dysfunction)
  • Anxiety and/or depression
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Lack of focus
  • Decreased sex drive

Female candidates for HRT may present an entirely different set of symptoms:

  • Hot flashes, menopause
  • Loss of bone density
  • Night sweats
  • Anxiety and/or depression
  • Thinning hair
  • Mood swings
  • Dry skin
  • Loss of focus
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Decreased libido

Hormone replacement therapy is not for everyone. Women who have battled breast or ovarian cancer(s), blood clots, or liver disease may not be candidates for HRT. During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Rooh will determine your eligibility for hormone therapy.

Private Consultation in Arizona

Life is the ultimate balancing act. Your hormones naturally fluctuate, so we need to study your levels and honor what they tell us. Dr. Rooh can bring holistic harmony to your systems, but first he needs to learn more about you.

During your consultation, you will be encouraged to share your medical history and future goals. After all, communication is the cornerstone of improvement. In a continued effort to communicate with our community, we regularly update our blog. Feel free to read our posts and bring any questions you may have with you to the consultation. Call (480) 304-5152 to schedule an appointment, or begin the virtual consultation process here.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

At Wellness 1st, we employ bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to emulate your essence. BHRT yields safer and more effective results than synthetic derivatives. Wellness 1st avoids synthetic HRT compounds, preferring instead to amplify your body’s own healing power.

BHRT can regulate and optimize hormones. These include DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid levels. These compounds behave differently in every person’s body, so Dr. Rooh tailors their ratio to your unique molecular makeup. As the name suggests, the hormones in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy should mirror those that occur naturally in your body. Dr. Rooh wants to create a hormone landscape that is identical to you, but tuned up to your specifications.

BHRT for Men

Testosterone drives the male libido. Finding the right level is important when it comes to sex drive and performance. BHRT can benefit male libido and endurance. Meanwhile, it can also increase focus, sleep quality, and the ability to maintain and grow muscle mass. By supporting a man’s vitality, BHRT can be a real game changer.

BHRT for Women

Menopause often triggers episodes of night sweats and hot flashes. These vasomotor functions affect both the nervous system and the circulatory system. The brain communicates with blood vessels to regulate the release of hormonal levels, which may result in heart rate fluctuations and “overheating” sensations. To treat the symptoms associated with menopause, women can benefit from BHRT. When hormone replacement is tailored directly to a woman’s body, she can achieve greater clarity and experience less overall stress to her system.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Procedure

From the moment you arrive at our Gilbert, Arizona clinic, we want you to feel comfortable. The Wellness 1st team will answer any remaining questions you may have before we start the HRT process. Your health status will inform our strategy, so we begin by gently taking a blood sample. Dr. Rooh can study your plasma to infer quite a lot about your overall wellness.

Once we assess the results of your blood sample, we will move to the next step in the HRT process. Dr. Rooh will explain the significance of your blood test and use this data to create a customized hormone replacement strategy for you.

In recent years, there have been amazing breakthroughs in the fields of HRT and BHRT. Wellness 1st is building on the knowledge of the collective scientific community and utilizing the latest, greatest methods of hormone implantation.

Pellet Therapy 

Dr. Rooh may opt for pellet therapy, which offers a consistent release of hormones without the “rollercoaster” effects associated with some outdated methods. The doctor inserts a series of small pellets in the hip area. One pellet is approximately the size of a grain of rice. Women may only require 1-2 pellets, but 2-10 are customary for men. These pellets are formulated to regulate estrogen and/or testosterone levels for women, and increase testosterone for men. Some male pellets also contain an estrogen blocker.

Intramuscular (IM) Injections

There are a variety of advantages associated with intramuscular (IM) injections. They are safer than topical therapies because they don’t accidentally rub off and smear testosterone onto others. IM injections last for weeks, so there is no need for daily applications (as there is with topical creams). Injections interact directly with the bloodstream, so they deliver hormones efficiently and rapidly. The benefits of IM injection therapy can manifest in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Follow-Up Care

This HRT process continues well after your initial procedure. Dr. Rooh is dedicated to continued care, and his attention to detail is unparalleled. The Wellness 1st team is always eager to help and eager to celebrate your results as they unfold. Call (480) 304-5152 to schedule your follow-up visits and continue on the path towards improvement.

Wellness 1st will test your blood over the 3-4 months following your inaugural HRT session. If necessary, Dr. Rooh will alter your hormone plan in response to your body’s feedback. You deserve ambitious care, and Wellness 1st will provide it.

Remarkable Results

Aging is natural, but it must not be uncomfortable. Hormone replacement therapy can balance your internal chemistry and, accordingly, your life. Every patient is unique but, generally speaking, HRT can boost an individual’s energy and regulate their mood. There is even preliminary data suggesting that hormone replacement therapy decreases the risk of developing various forms of dementia.[2]

Satisfaction is our top priority. One look at our glowing reviews proves how important our patients are to us. To experience the wondrous benefits of HRT for yourself, please contact Wellness 1st.
