Healthy Ageing

Getting older doesn’t have to mean looking or feeling older. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy (BHRT) is a therapeutic approach to optimising hormone levels to maximise quality of life. While the ageing process is inevitable, with today’s modern medicine, we can stop it in its tracks.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Hormones are an integral part of your body’s messenger system. They control mood, growth, metabolism, reproduction and sexual function. When your body’s levels are depleted, or your hormones are imbalanced, it can cause various adverse side effects that can seriously impact your day-to-day life. Thankfully, there’s a solution —bioidentical hormones. These are artificial hormones carefully designed to be chemically identical to the ones the body naturally produces. They have the same chemical and molecular structure, meaning they’re easily absorbed. Whether in a cream, gel, patch, pill or injection form, your body can’t tell the difference between naturally occurring hormones and the bioidentical ones.

Bioidentical versus synthetic hormones

Although both bioidentical and synthetic hormones are made in a laboratory, the former is derived from plants, while the latter is manufactured from artificial chemical compounds. Although there isn’t definitive evidence to suggest one form is more effective, physiological data has proven that bioidentical hormones are more efficacious and associated with a lower risk of breast cancer, blood clots, and cardiovascular disease.

What is BHRT?

Most frequently used for women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, BHRT increases depleted hormone levels to improve several uncomfortable symptoms. These include:

• Night sweats

• Hot flashes

• Thinning skin

• Mood irregularities

• Weight gain

• Vaginal dryness

• Hair thinning

• Low energy levels

• Osteoporosis

• Sleep issues and insomnia

• Memory loss

• Loss of muscle mass

• Low libido

BHRT can be used to treat and improve a range of conditions, including insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia.

Benefits of bioidentical hormones

Whether it’s due to old age or menopause, BHRT can be used to treat both men and women when their hormone levels dip or become imbalanced. BHRT increases depleted hormone levels to lessen the effects of ageing and provides the following life-enhancing benefits:

• Healthier, softer, more hydrated skin

• Fewer night sweats and hot flashes

• Decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression

• Reduced bloating

• Enhanced memory

• Better sleep

• Thicker hair growth

• Improved ability to lose fat and build muscle

• Increased sense of wellbeing

• More energy throughout the day

Benefits of BHRT for skin — a healthier and smoother complexion

As we age, our body’s collagen and elastin production begin to decline, resulting in premature signs of ageing — think fine lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging. Oestrogen and progesterone are directly related to collagen production, so their depletion can spur texture, elasticity and tone changes in the skin.

Several clinical studies suggest that providing the body with natural anti-ageing hormones and additional oestrogen can help improve common skin concerns. BHRT can alleviate symptoms of dry, itchy, irritated, and fragile skin. This hormone treatment increases epidermal hydration, skin elasticity and thickness to improve texture and subtly smooth fine lines and wrinkles. BHRT may also help slow down the formation of or decrease the appearance of pigmentation and age spots — resulting from over-exposure to UV rays.

While BHRT is not a fountain of youth, the oestrogen and progesterone it delivers to the body can delay skin ageing and increase its overall integrity and elasticity. So, if you want to plump and firm your complexion, natural anti-aging hormones can certainly help. Several studies have also concluded that men undergoing BHRT experience improved epidermal skin moisture, elasticity, thickness, and surface lipids.
