What is hormone health?

Hormones are chemical messengers that control many of your body’s functions. They send signals into your body’s tissues and bloodstream that affect many basic processes, including metabolism, temperature regulation, digestion, and even respiration.

When you have a hormone imbalance, your body can respond negatively. Certain bodily functions can slow or accelerate more than they should. This imbalance may lead to uncomfortable symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog, depression, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction.

At Regenerative MedSpa of Buckhead, the team offers several treatments to restore your hormone health and relieve your symptoms.

What causes hormone health problems?

The two most common causes of hormone health problems in men and women are:

Menopause

Menopause occurs when you stop menstruating. Once you reach menopause, your estrogen levels plummet. This extreme decline can lead to hot flashes, low libido, insomnia, and irritability, among other hormone imbalance symptoms.

Low testosterone (low T)

Men lose about 1% of their testosterone levels each year after age 30. Testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual wellness, muscle mass, fat distribution, and other important bodily processes. 

What are the signs of hormone health problems?

Men and women experience many different signs of hormone health problems. 

Common signs of low estrogen levels during menopause include:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Unintended weight gain
• Low libido
• Vaginal dryness

Signs of low T in men include:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Increased abdominal fat
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Loss of muscle mass
• Low libido

What are the best treatments for hormone health?

Regenerative MedSpa of Buckhead offers natural treatments to improve your hormone health. 

Bioidentical hormone pellets

Bioidentical hormone pellets derive from plant extracts that have the same chemical makeup as your natural hormones. The pellet is very small and meant to dissolve at a steady rate. Once implanted beneath your skin, it steadily releases hormones to match your exact imbalance. 

The entire process takes about 20 minutes and can improve your hormone imbalance symptoms within a couple of weeks. Women typically return for insertions every 3 months while men return every 4 months.
