Stop Mood Swings Naturally with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement

Take the first step to good mood & anxiety-free life

How Hormones Affect Mood

Depression is defined as a prolonged and severe feeling of loss of hope and joyfulness and is common among men with depleted testosterone. If you feel depressed, you absolutely must discuss it with a medical professional. It is also important you keep in mind that antidepressant medications provide only relief of the symptom itself but don’t fix the underlying issue.

Female Hormones & Depression

While depression in some case can have purely psychological causes, hormones are shown to have deep impact on this disease and the role of testosterone in mood regulation cannot be overstated. As testosterone reduces in the course of a man’s life (due to aging, poor food choice, sedentary lifestyle and other reasons), it also causes steep reduction in production of a thyroid hormone called T3. T3, in turn, is responsible for production of serotonin, a vital neurotransmitter that regulates mood, behavior, motivation and much more. Depletion of serotonin is directly linked to depression. In addition, depression may be aggravated by other issues related to hormone imbalance such as insomnia, erectile dysfunction and others.

Solutions for Hormone-Related Depression

Bio-identical hormone replacement is a proven and effective treatment for hormone-related depression. Typically, once your hormones are balanced again, you can expect depression to lift in around 2 weeks. One of the biggest problems with depression today is incorrect treatment. In far too many cases, doctors prescribe antidepressants, which only address the symptom but don’t actually fix the underlying issue. Not to mention the many side effects of such treatment. The first step to truly treating depression (and not just putting a bandaid on it) is to discuss your issue with a medical professional who is trained in hormonal optimization.

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 Consultation
Everything 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 Insertion
Once 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 Results
In 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 Appointment
Within 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 Insertion
Female 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!
