At Horizon Med Spa and Wellness in Kansas City, we provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help restore balance and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team tailors each treatment to your unique hormonal needs, addressing issues like fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment that uses hormones that are biologically identical to what the human body produces naturally to restore hormone balance.
The benefit of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy as opposed to synthetic hormones is fewer side effects, safer, and more health benefits. At Horizon, we offer multiple modalities for hormone replacement therapy to accommodate your specific needs including pellet therapy, injectable, topical creams, and various oral preparations. Both women and men can benefit from Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and it is important to know that women do not need to be going through menopause to benefit from hormone replacement therapy.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GETTING HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
At Horizon, we perform an in-depth evaluation of each Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy patient to discover the root cause of hormone imbalance.
Your visit will start with a Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy evaluation by one of our licensed providers, followed by lab work where we look at are thyroid function, Vitamin D level, gut health, stress levels, nutrition, lifestyle, and more.
Once we receive your lab results, we'll work together to create an individualized treatment plan that matches your concerns, goals, and overall health. Treatment plans often include hormone replacement along with recommended supplements, nutritional adjustments, lifestyle changes, and possibly other medications (if indicated).
Increase Your Energy
Hormone replacement therapy can significantly boost your energy levels if you're feeling fatigued or drained. By restoring your hormone balance, you will feel more refreshed and energized, making it easier to tackle your daily activities.
Improved Mood and Clarity
If you're dealing with mood swings, irritability, or mental fog, hormone replacement therapy can make a noticeable difference. By regulating your hormone levels, it helps stabilize your mood, reduce anxiety, and improve mental clarity, allowing you to feel more emotionally balanced and focused.
Better Sleep
Hormone imbalances often cause sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or waking up in the middle of the night. Hormone replacement therapy can help regulate your body’s sleep-wake cycle, allowing you to fall asleep more easily and experience more restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Enhanced Libido
As hormone levels decline, many people notice a decrease in libido and sexual desire. Hormone replacement therapy helps restore sexual wellness by balancing hormones like estrogen and testosterone, which can enhance your libido and improve intimacy in your relationships.
Weight and Muscle Management
Hormonal changes can impact metabolism, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight or build muscle. Hormone replacement therapy can help boost your metabolism, making it easier to manage weight, reduce stubborn fat, and improve muscle tone, so you can feel confident in your body again.
