Aging is difficult enough for women without having to endure declining hormone levels. Women often complain of a diminished sense of wellbeing, chronic fatigue and a loss of libido just to mention a few hormone imbalance symptoms.

For many women there is a tremendous void in treatment of menopausal symptoms. Hot flashes, mood swings and low or no sex drive are just the tip of the iceberg. Some earlier hormone imbalance symptoms of estrogen deficiency are frequent waking at night. Many others are present, including "mental fogginess." Frequently, women may experience some loss of energy to the point that they actually slide into symptoms of chronic fatigue. In addition, women may experience some mood swings and irritability, and at the extreme may actually develop feelings of depression. With the loss of energy and chronic fatigue, females find themselves unable to exercise as much as in the past, or to recover as quickly when exercising. Women often find themselves increasing weight gain in spite of attempts at exercising. One hormone imbalance symptom that is not frequently discussed is the loss of sex drive and diminished libido. Not only is energy level and sense of wellbeing diminished, but anticipation and enjoyment of sexual activity is waning as well.

All of these symptoms are the result of a deficiency state, not a "normal aging process." Restoring your normal balance of hormones will go a long way toward making you feel like a younger, healthier, happier woman again.

10 Self Questions to determine if you may have Hormonal Imbalance:

1. Do you have hot flashes?
2. Do you have a lack of energy?
3. Do you have restless sleep or sleep disturbances?
4. Do you have a diminished sex drive?
5. Have you noticed a decreased "enjoyment of life"?
6. Are you moody or easily irritated?
7. Do you have difficulty concentrating, or have short-term memory loss?
8. Have you noticed muscle loss?
9. Do you feel fatigued often?
10. Do you have bladder leakage?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy increases female and male libido, decreases menopause, increases weight loss and more with an anti-aging hormone imbalance health procedure. Bioidentical hormone is the chemical makeup of the replacement hormone and is exactly the same hormone that the human body produces. The bioidentical hormone pelets are hormones made by a compounding pharmacy in the shape of a pellet, about the size of a grain of rice. The pellets consist of bioidentical estrogen and testosterone and are placed under the skin. These hormones are then constantly available for the body to use as needed.

Using a mild anesthetic (like your dentist uses), an area of skin on the buttocks is made numb. A nick in the skin is made (not large enough to require a stitch), bioidentical hormone pellets the size of rice granules are inserted under the skin and the skin is covered with a Steri-Strip. This hormone replacement procedure takes only a few minutes.

If you are in great health, have no symptoms, have no particular health risk, and have great bone density, you probably do not need hormones. Just monitor your health with periodic tests and consider hormone options later if your situation changes. Do hormones fix everything? Of course not. Diet, lifestyle, and even environment can adversely impact on our wellbeing. Nevertheless, it is very important to address any underlying hormonal imbalances first.
