Our Goal
Depressed, anxious, fatigued, overweight, can't sleep? We Can Help!
PharmaHealth Pharmacy and Aquidneck Nutrients & Wellness Center are pleased to offer Hormone Replacement Therapy Consultation and Compounding Pharmacy Services.
Research has shown that many of today's most common health concerns, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue, etc., can result from imbalances in the neuro/hormonal system. Without the proper balance of hormones and brain chemicals, one is unable to achieve their best quality of life. It is our goal to support and help your body achieve balance in this crucial area.
What is BHRT?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) includes the supplementation of a woman's natural hormones: progesterone, dhea, estrogen and testosterone. It can be used for women ages 20 through 80, including pre-, peri-, menopausal and post menopausal women, depending on their individual hormonal issues.
BHRT involves taking small doses of one or two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. These two hormones are produced naturally by the ovaries until menopause, when their production gradually slows down.
BHRT helps to ease the symptoms of menopause and protect against other menopause-related health risks:
- Achieving your unique hormone balance can help reduce your risk of degenerative disease.
- BHRT is available in Tablets and Creams.
What's Involved
A certified BHRT consultant can run saliva testing to measure the free, biologically active hormones in your body and come up with a hormonal/nutritional regimen that can correct the hormonal imbalance. This information will then be submitted to your physician for his/her approval. It's as simple as that!!
We look forward to working with you and your physician in the overall interpretation of your individualized blood chemistries. Through the use of several cutting edge tests, we can help you achieve a better quality and longevity of life.
Your Hormones
Hormones are part of a complex communication system, which interact with your brain chemicals to allow you to define how you act and feel. They allow you the ability to experience joy, sadness, anger and love.
The brain chemical/hormone system must be balanced in order for you to experience life to it's fullest. When your hormones and brain chemicals are balanced, your body is happy and that is the first step in achieving true health.
Progesterone:
- Involved in reproduction, nervous system health and mood
- Supports and balances the effects of other sex hormones, especially estrogen
- Low levels have been linked to many of the symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, sleep distrubances and irritability.
Estrogen:
- Helps maintain healthy reproductive tissues, skin and breasts
- In women, high levels can cause weight gain, breast tenderness, heavy menstruation and lead to increased risk of certain cancers. Low levels can lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness and bone loss
- In men, high levels may contribute to prostate problems and reduce testosterone activity
Testosterone:
- Helps maintain lean muscle, sex drive and cardiovascular health in men and women
DHEA:
- Low levels can lead to fatigue, depressed mood and reduced mental function.
