What is hormone therapy?

Hormone therapy is a treatment for women and men who experience uncomfortable symptoms of an age-related hormone imbalance.

Women’s estrogen hormone levels begin to decline near the end of their menstrual cycle (menopause). Men can experience side effects of low testosterone as they get older or if they have chronic health issues like diabetes or liver disease.

The goal of hormone therapy is to supplement your natural hormone levels with bioidentical hormones to relieve symptoms that negatively affect a man or woman’s physical, mental, and emotional health.

Grassroots Healthcare offers customized hormone therapy plans to restore balance in your hormone levels so you can look and feel your best. The skilled medical team also provides integrative solutions to optimize your sexual well-being.

When should I consider hormone therapy?

Women can benefit from the hormone therapy services available at Grassroots Healthcare if they have menopause-related symptoms that affect their health and quality of life. These symptoms can include:

• Hot flashes
• Vaginal dryness
• Night sweats
• Weight gain
• Persistent fatigue
• Low sex drive
• Anxiety, depression, and mood swings
• Cognitive issues (memory problems, difficulties concentrating)

Men may be candidates for hormone replacement therapy if they experience physical or mental challenges due to low testosterone. A common side effect of unbalanced hormones is erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition where a man can’t maintain an erection that’s firm enough for sex.

The medical team completes a physical exam, reviews your symptoms and medical history, and may order bloodwork to assess your hormone levels and determine if hormone therapy is appropriate.

What can I expect during hormone therapy?

Grassroots Healthcare offers bioidentical hormones very similar to the hormones your body makes naturally but comes from yams and other plant materials.

The team prescribes EvexiPEL bioidentical hormone from Evexias® to rebalance your natural hormone levels and relieve bothersome symptoms.

EvexiPEL hormones are available in grain-sized pellets that your provider implants just beneath the surface of your skin. The pellets release a continuous stream of hormones (estradiol for women and testosterone for men) into your bloodstream. Topical hormone gels and creams are also available for men and women. 

The providers can recommend lifestyle changes, diet improvements, and weight management strategies to improve your health and protect your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
