DISCOVER THE ADVANTAGES OF BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY

Age, illness, and stress can create a destructive hormonal imbalance in the body that impacts your health, happiness, and ability to connect with others. These imbalances are so sneaky that you may not even know that you have one. Quench Wellness in Chicago, IL is your local source for all things hormonal. We offer world-class testing and bioidentical hormone therapy to restore harmony in your life.

What Are Hormones and Why Do They Matter?

We don’t see them, but hormones are always acting behind the scenes to make your body function. Over 200 of these molecular chemicals flow through the body to deliver messages to the organs. Telling your lungs to breathe, heart to beat, and your stomach to eat are among the many instructions these chemical messengers give.

Because hormones have such an essential role in the body, an imbalance can throw your life into a frenzy in unexpected ways. Hormone imbalances aren’t always straightforward and can look like other conditions. Getting tested and treated for a hormone imbalance is the best way to regain your health, vitality, and wellbeing.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a revolutionary approach to identifying and treating male and female hormonal imbalances. This method uses plant-based hormones that have a structure identical to those produced in the body. Many people refer to this hormone replacement therapy as “natural hormone therapy.”

Hormonal changes can wreak havoc on your body, mind, and spirit. Sometimes these changes are so subtle that they sneak up on you. Some individuals suffering from the adverse effects of a hormone imbalance initially explain them away as situational disturbances instead of acknowledging them as the biological changes they are.

Restore Your Life

Taking action to discover the cause of your discomfort is crucial anytime you are facing unwanted changes in your physical or mental health. At Quench Wellness, we use precision methods to recognize any hormone imbalances or deficiencies in the body. After identification, we supplement or replace them with this advanced therapy.

The goal of bioidentical hormone therapy is to restore your hormones to correct levels. Restoring your hormone levels improves every area of your life. You can enjoy changes physically, mentally, emotionally, romantically, and socially.

Only the Best for Our Patients

We use only the highest quality bioidentical hormones found in a therapeutic pellet form. The body can’t tell the difference between the bioidentical hormones we use and those it produces naturally. You benefit from this in several ways.

What Causes Hormone Imbalances in Men and Women?

You deserve to live your best life. Steady hormone levels are paramount for living well. Hormone imbalances can create effects ranging from mildly annoying to devastating. No matter where you fall on the discomfort spectrum, you owe it to yourself to seek treatment. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again.

Some common causes of hormonal imbalances include:

• Cushing’s disease
• Diabetes and insulin resistance
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Perimenopause
• Menopause
• Menstruation
• Stress
• Thyroid disorders

How Can I Tell If I Have a Hormonal Imbalance?

Men and women can experience unpleasant changes in their bodies resulting from shifting hormones, and each of the hormones presents different symptoms. General symptoms of a hormone imbalance are those that anyone can experience; however, there are also some symptoms specific to each sex.

General Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance

Women and men experience general symptoms from a hormonal imbalance. When adrenaline, insulin, and growth hormones shift, they can create unpleasant symptoms in anyone. When these types of hormones aren’t stable, you might experience:

• Changes in body temperature
• Disturbed sleep cycles
• Fatigue
• Higher heart rate
• Increased stress levels
• Impaired sexual functioning
• Issues with reproduction
• Fluctuating mood
• Low sex drive
• Pain, stiffness, or muscle weakness
• Weight gain

Women’s Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

Most women expect hormonal changes to happen throughout life because they’ve experienced hormone shifts every month since puberty. Changes also occur during pregnancy, breastfeeding, perimenopause, menopause, early menopause. A triggering condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) can also usher in unwanted hormonal shifts. Some forms of birth control may also trigger hormonal imbalances in women.

Estrogen and progesterone are usually at the root of female-only hormonal deficiencies. Symptoms specific to women are:

• Brain fog
• Breast changes
• Breast tenderness
• Clitoral enlargement
• Hair loss
• Headaches and migraines
• Heavy periods
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal atrophy
• Vaginal dryness

Men’s Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

Men aren’t exempt from experiencing hormonal imbalances. Testosterone is often to blame when symptoms manifest. Common male symptoms of an imbalance include:

• Breast enlargement
• Body hair loss
• Body mass reduction
• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Sperm count lowers

Do I Need to See a Doctor About My Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormones have a delicate balance that only a doctor can test and oversee. Because there are hundreds of hormones in the body, it’s impossible to know what’s causing your symptoms without medical testing.

If you have symptoms of an imbalance, it’s easy to think you can handle the issue on your own, but this isn’t a good idea. Many other conditions mimic the symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, and we must rule out all other conditions before treatment.

It’s important to meet with your doctor for comprehensive testing to ease symptoms and bring your body back into balance. Once we establish your diagnosis, we provide precision treatment options like HRT with BioTE to restore your health and wellbeing.

Advantages of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

BHRT is helping millions of patients all over the world to restore harmony and balance in the body. The advantages of bioidentical hormone therapy are the number one reason they choose this treatment. Below we look at some of the many benefits of using BHRT to treat hormone imbalances.

You’re Never Alone

You are not alone with BHRT. Changes can feel scary, but our friendly and professional team is with you every step of the way. We get to know you and your body to find the best ways to help. When you take the first step toward us, we’ll take ten steps toward you. Our patients are our top priority, and we do everything we can to provide superior care.

More Natural Approach

BHRT mimics your body’s hormones. One of the most significant reasons this therapy is the preferred choice is that it’s more natural than alternative hormone replacement therapies. BHRT hormones are synthesized from plants, and the body embraces them. This treatment is even suitable for individuals sensitive to other hormonal therapies.

Accurate Test Results

You always know where you stand. Hormones used in other therapies don’t always provide correct testing results because they don’t blend into the body very well. Using BHRT means that when you treat your hormone imbalance, you can accurately track how well the therapy is working.

Low Maintenance

This isn’t a daily hassle. With bioidentical hormone therapy, you don’t have to remember to take pills or take time out of your day for treatment. After we administer therapy, women are good to go for three months, and men won’t need to return for up to five months.

Manage Hot Flashes

Hot flashes don’t have to interrupt your life. Hot flashes are never pleasant, and you never know when they might strike. You may feel fine one moment and the next you’re in a sauna. This inconvenient symptom can make work, sleep, and social engagements unbearable. BHRT reduces hot flashes so you can get back to living.

Stabilize Mood

BHRT can make mood swings a thing of the past. It’s well known that hormonal mood swings can negatively impact relationships; they can also take a toll on your self-esteem. No matter which area of your life takes the biggest hit from oscillating moods, BHRT can help.

Clearer Thoughts

Regain your focus. Hormones could be at play if you are battling brain fog, absent-mindedness, or memory issues. Don’t reach for caffeine. Instead, book a consultation with us to find the underlying cause of these changes. If a hormone imbalance is affecting your thinking, BHRT can bring you back up to speed.

More Energy

Seize the day. BHRT is here if you are tired of feeling tired. Fatigue is a common complaint shared by individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances. You may feel fine in the morning but dread the midday decline. When these plant-based hormones boost hormone levels, you’ll have more energy during the day, all day.

Prevent Hair Loss

Save your mane. Thinning and falling hair is a common sign that hormones aren’t balanced. Individuals who don’t know that BHRT can help might chalk hair loss up to genetics or the natural process of aging. Choosing this therapy could help you keep your hair.

Deter Digestive Disturbances

Heal your gut with BHRT. Although they may not seem connected, hormones dictate your digestive tract, and shifting hormones can trigger IBS. Managing GI-related hormones with BHRT can prevent painful symptoms from developing.

Prevent Bone Loss

Keep your bones strong with BHRT. Bone loss and osteoporosis are linked to hormone deficiencies directly. We need our bones to carry our weight and get us to where we need to go. Caring for your bones with BHRT now can prevent breaks and fractures later.

Better Sleep

Sleep like a baby. If your sleep isn’t as relaxing as it once was, it could be a sign that you have imbalanced hormones. Sleep loss isn’t just a nighttime concern. The body heals itself when we sleep and feeling tired during the day can impact your relationships, job, and safety. Choosing BHRT can bring your body back to its normal, sleepy self at night to maximize your overall health and wellbeing.

Enhance Pleasure

BHRT combats sexual dysfunction. Hormones play a vital role in sexual health. If sexual hormones are out of whack, your romantic life can suffer. Men experience ED while women struggle with vaginal atrophy and dryness; both can feel less motivated to engage in sex at all. Treating the underlying hormonal cause of these conditions can reinvigorate your sexual desire for a long-term pleasure enhancement.

How Long Will It Take for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy to Work?

BHRT isn’t a quick fix but a long-term solution. You’ll notice changes as early as three weeks after your appointment. The optimal benefits of treatment can take three months to appear. Although the changes aren’t immediate, once activated, you’ll enjoy relief for a long time.

Am I a Candidate?

Anybody who thinks they may have a hormonal deficiency or hormonal imbalance could be a candidate for bioidentical hormone therapy. Your treatment begins with thorough testing. We investigate your hormone levels to learn what’s causing your symptoms. Patients with severe symptoms are especially good candidates for this therapy. Those suffering from disturbed sleep, night sweats, headaches, or other debilitating symptoms benefit most from this hormone treatment.

Scheduling a consultation with us is the best way to find out if you are a candidate for BHRT. We need to meet with you in person to get to know you and understand what you’re experiencing.
