Recover & Boost Libido with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Take the first step to a healthy sex drive
How Hormones Affect Sex Drive
For decades, women were told that loss of sex drive is just how it goes when we get older. Luckily more and more women are educating themselves to the fact that loss of libido is caused by unbalanced hormone levels and is entirely reversible.
Remember how you felt about sex in your 20s and early 30s? What happens between that time and, say, early 50s? For vast majority of us in perimenopause and menopause, the root cause is simple: hormonal imbalance. Hormones play crucial roles in healthy desire for sex, so as the levels of these hormones becomes unbalanced (due to age, poor diet, lack of exercise and more), our sex drive diminishes. Here is how these hormones work to maintain desire for sex. Estrogen is responsible for sensitivity during sex, as well as maintaining healthy vaginal tissue and lubrication. As estrogen reduces, sex becomes less pleasurable and vaginal dryness makes it even less so. Testosterone also plays a big role in vaginal lubrication, in your motivation to have sex and in your ability to achieve and orgasm. Finally thyroid, being the catalyst for other hormones, makes sure all of them function correctly, so low levels of thyroid throw the whole system out of whack.
Low libido in women is effectively treated by a combination of hormone replacement therapy and a balanced nutrition and exercise plan. The very first step to regaining healthy sex drive is diagnosing the underlying issue, so to discuss your problems with a medical professional who can do a comprehensive hormonal evaluation.
Millions of men are affected by low libido and sex drive. Much like erectile dysfunction, this issue is most often caused by a low testosterone, higher-than-normal estrogen, as well as poor nutrition and lack of exercise.
Every man knows that testosterone is responsible for male sexual function. Simply put: if you have low testosterone, you will have low levels of sex drive and may even experience erectile dysfunction. The way testosterone affects sexual desire is pretty simple: it stimulates the production of a neurotransmitter called nitric oxide, which is responsible for erection and arousal. As your testosterone declines (due to various reasons like age, lack of exercise, unhealthy food, etc.) and nitric oxide is insufficiently stimulated, you experience loss of interest in sex and often erectile issues. In addition to low testosterone, some men who are living in a state of hormone imbalance also have elevated estrogen (female sex hormone, produced in men in small quantities). Elevated estrogen effectively kills sex drive in men.
Low sex drive in men is effectively treated by a combination of testosterone replacement and balanced lifestyle plan. The first step to regaining healthy sex drive and having strong erections is diagnosing the underlying issue, so to discuss your problems with a medical professional who can do a comprehensive hormonal evaluation.
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (aka BHRT)?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is prescribed specifically to return the hormones women and men lose over the course of their lives to optimal levels. The ‘bio-identical’ part means that molecular structure of hormones used in this type of therapy is identical to the hormones a human body produces naturally. As we age, our hormones (such as estrogen and testosterone in women and testosterone in men) decline, which results in a wide range of health issues that millions of us struggle with every day. For example, did you know that hormone imbalance is associated with issues like weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, decreased cognitive function, mood swings, loss of sex drive and more? But that’s just part of aging, right? Wrong! Aging should not mean ‘suffering’ and there is a solution. That solution is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (or BHRT for short).

How HealthLogicMD Hormone Therapy Works
Here at HealthLogicMD, we have partnered with BioTE Medical - the #1 source of bio-identical hormone treatment - to provide BHRT in the form of subcutaneous pellets that are custom dosed for each patient. Read more below to find out BHRT works and what to expect when you visit our clinic.
- Initial In-Office ConsultationEverything starts with a visit to our clinic, during which, you will meet with our BioTE Ceritified BHRT specialists and with Dr. Trey herself. During that appointment, we will learn about your symptoms and medical history and carry out a thorough blood work panel to accurately determine if you are a candidate for BHRT pellet therapy. We know you will have questions too, so we will answer any questions you may have about BHRT right then and there.01
- Reviewing Results & Pellet InsertionOnce your blood work results are processed (usually takes about 1 week) and the doctor reviews them with you, a quick follow-up appointment will be scheduled for your pellet insertion procedure. The procedure itself usually takes 20-30 minutes and is completely painless.02
- You Feel The ResultsIn the case of estrogen pellets, most of our patients start seeing the results in 3-4 days, while testosterone pellets take about 7-10 days to start working. In either case, within 1-2 weeks of the procedure, you will start enjoying the health and wellness benefits of hormone replacement.03
- Follow-up AppointmentWithin 6 weeks of pellet insertion, you will come in for another quick appointment with the doctor. The aim of that appointment is to ensure your improvements are progressing as intended and to do another quick blood test done.04
- Repeat InsertionFemale patients only need to be pelleted 2-3 times per year, so your next appointment will be set for a few months in the future. In the meantime, enjoy your new energy, drive and wellbeing!05
