Many women experience increasing difficulty managing their weight as they age, often due to hormonal changes that occur during menopause and perimenopause. Fortunately, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is emerging as a promising solution for restoring hormone balance and assisting with weight loss.
Dr. Deborah Sillins, a highly regarded plastic surgeon known for her commitment to whole-body wellness, offers a personalized approach to BHRT at Rejuvene Plastic Surgery. This blog explores how BHRT works and its potential role in helping with weight control.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy relies on hormones that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Derived from plant sources, these hormones – primarily estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone – are tailored to meet individual needs.
Unlike synthetic hormones, BHRT promotes natural balance to reduce the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and other hormonal disorders.
Many people notice weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, hips, and thighs, as a result of hormone imbalances. Here’s how BHRT may support your weight loss efforts.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone regulate metabolism. A decline in these hormones can slow your metabolism and increase fat storage. BHRT can help normalize these levels, boosting your body’s ability to burn fat.
Hormone imbalances often lead to insulin resistance, making it more challenging to lose weight. BHRT may improve insulin sensitivity, allowing for better blood sugar control and preventing weight gain.
Fatigue and low energy can interfere with weight loss efforts. By restoring hormonal balance, BHRT can enhance energy levels, motivation, and stamina. This makes it easier for you to maintain an active lifestyle and adopt healthier habits.
If you’re having a hard time with your weight and suspect that hormone imbalances are contributing to the problem, BHRT could provide the support your body needs.
