The majority of our bodily systems are controlled by our hormones, which act as silent workhorses. As chemical messengers, they control everything from metabolism to mood to fertility. Hormone production may drop as we age.

This is especially true for women who have just experienced menopause. Those irritating heat flashes and weight gain are caused by waning hormone levels. Men who have diminishing hormone levels may feel worn out and have less libido.

By taking nutritional supplements, altering their food and sleep schedule, and avoiding environmental endocrine disruptors such those found in plastics, some people who struggle with hormone imbalances attempt to naturally balance their hormones. Others seek out over-the-counter hormone creams and pills to make up for their alleged deficiency, or they visit a doctor who can write an oral or injectable synthetic hormone prescription, which is typically a ready-made prescription used by many patients despite their unique, varied hormonal issues.

At Flourish Integrative Wellness, hormone replacement is offered! The use of our hormone therapy will improve the health of those in the Springfield area and surrounding areas.

The feeling and appearance of youth-like vigor, which so many people seek to maintain throughout life, is caused by a natural hormone balance. The most significant hormones start to fall out with time, though.

Hormone replacement therapy was traditionally only used to replace estrogen and progesterone in post-menopausal women. However, thanks to breakthroughs in anti-aging treatment, bioidentical hormone replacement is now used to treat both men and women. Men are learning that bioidentical hormones can make them restore their bodies and minds and reclaim the energy, libido, and vitality of their youth, just as women are finding their lives restored by a more comprehensive hormone replacement.

Due to this, it is frequently impossible for major pharmaceutical corporations to create bioidentical hormones in significant quantities. 

Since each person's definition of normal varies, so does the process of achieving it. These particular bioidentical hormones are created at a compounding pharmacy that follows regulations set forth by the FDA. Bioidentical hormones are created by compounding pharmacists in accordance with the precise quantity and strength recommended by the practitioner for each distinct individual.

In some cases, hormone imbalances cause low energy, weight gain, and muscle loss, and bioidentical hormones may be used as part of a whole therapy plan to address these symptoms.

A single hormone, like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, or a combination of hormones, might be used in treatment plans. Individual thyroid hormones such triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), or a combination of the two thyroid hormones may be used to treat hypothyroidism. To identify and address adrenal fatigue, the hormones produced by the adrenal glands must be examined.
