When we grow older, the creation of hormones in our bodies naturally reduces. For some people, the mechanism of hormones changing in their body has little to no detrimental effect on their general health. However, for others, the process of hormone reduction in their bodies can alter their lives in the long run. 

For most women, the adverse effects can be depression, decreased libido, anxiety, weight gain, mood swings, insomnia, and hot flashes. For men, the negative effects can be: difficulty achieving erections, weight gain, and lack of stamina. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help men and women with the harmful effects of hormone reduction as they age.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) utilizes natural hormones identified by our bodies and replicates them on a more cellular level to the hormones our body naturally produces. Negative symptoms like depression, insomnia, mood swings, weight gain, and the ones mentioned above can therefore be alleviated by hormone replacement therapy because it can balance that body back to normal.
