Hormones
Hormone Therapy in West Palm Beach, FL
Oh my goodness, hormones are amazing! And unfortunately the medical society has kind of not given hormones the due that’s necessary. We understand how wonderful insulin is in a diabetic. But what people don’t understand is that if you don’t have estrogen, you won’t have fluffy, beautiful skin. If you don’t have progesterone, you won’t be able to sleep at night. If you don’t have testosterone, you won’t have good muscle mass. So imagine that I took away your air and your water. You wouldn’t last too long, would you? It’s the same thing with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
The problem is that the effects are slow and so people don’t notice it. A lot of patients will come in and say, you know, I don’t know what happened, doc. I looked great, I had great muscle mass. I had great stamina, I had a great sex life and then I turned 40 and 50. And I’m not just talking women, even men. And they said, everything changed. My skin got different, my hair fell out. I just had no stamina. I was always in a bad mood. Hormones are amazing, but you have to go to people who are really well trained and believe in them. You have to choose a patient that’s not going to abuse those hormones once you write them the prescription.
— Dr. Navarro
Looking for hormone therapy in West Palm Beach? For years doctors have been treating women for menopause by giving them estrogen and progesterone, while neglecting the need for other crucial hormones such as Natural Thyroid Hormone, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), Melatonin, and Human Growth Hormone (HGH). With men, the need to supplement low testosterone levels can help with fatigue, sex drive, muscle retention and more.
Dr. Zoraida Navarro realizes the value of natural hormone replacement therapy. In addition to alleviating the symptoms of menopause and reducing risk of osteoporosis, hormone replacement can also aid in the anti-aging process, improve your memory and mood, and create an overall sense of well-being.
Dr. Navarro specializes in Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. After a thorough examination and the necessary lab tests, Dr. Navarro will prescribe for you the proper natural hormones that will have you looking and feeling better than you have in years.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are exactly the same hormones, molecule by molecule that your body produces. They are modified in a lab derived mostly from plant sources but are still considered natural to your body because they are identical. The body does not consider them a foreign substance and so does not cause any adverse reactions. Synthetic hormones are also made in a lab, but most importantly are not identical to your body. Bioidentical hormones are superior to types of synthetic hormones commonly prescribed.
Why Do I Need to Test for Hormone Levels?
Hormones are powerful substances that control multiple functions throughout the body. Hormone levels should be sufficient and balanced. Too little or too much of them is not conducive to long-term emotional, mental and bodily health. Hormone levels from woman to woman can vary from 200-1500%.
Just as you cannot balance your bank account without numbers on your bank statements, hormones testing provide both a basis for treatment and proximity to your goal. One can then customize natural hormone dosing to meet individual needs. In other words optimize hormone levels for minimum dose to relieve symptoms and avoid overdosing.
We may choose to prescribe various different hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, Cortisol, DHEA, Melatonin, or growth hormone, depending on what your symptoms are and which hormone(s) your body needs. This is done on a gradient scale so as to let the body adjust itself naturally.
