Regardless of gender, many middle-aged adults need help balancing hormones. At Weight Success Centers, our physicians support women and men in discovering the health benefits of balance.
Age-Related Causes for Hormone Fluctuations
Between ages 35 and 60, many people experience hormone fluctuations. The varying degrees will depend on the individual. It is common knowledge for middle-aged women in their 40s or 50s to go through stages of perimenopause and menopause. Although for middle-aged men, there is the lesser known “andropause” or “male menopause” causing male hormone levels to change with age.
Generally, age-related causes are due to a slow decline in hormones. This includes testosterone and estrogen, of course, as well as androgen and progesterone. As for symptoms, these can vary greatly for each unique person depending on their overall health, genetics, underlying conditions, and lifestyle.
No matter your sex, many middle-aged adults experience common symptoms. Hormone fluctuations may last for years and lead to sexual issues, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, hair loss, fatigue, sleep issues, depression, and other types of physical changes. Treatments for balancing hormones are based on a person’s unique needs, medical exams, lab results, and diagnoses.
Natural Treatments and Therapies to Balance Hormones
A healthy lifestyle, good nutrition, a nightly sleep routine, and daily exercises are the most natural treatments. There are also supplements and therapies to help adults balance hormones.
As for diet and nutrition, certain nutrients and natural hormones in foods may help support hormonal balance during middle age. Metabolic solutions range from mineral-rich foods to custom diet plans for hormone balancing effects.
Naturally, hormone replacement therapies have also become a go-to solution for balancing hormones. Weight Success Centers is certified in prescribing and administering BioTE, a subcutaneous pellet type of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for men and women.
BioTE consists of non-synthetic pellets with hormones that are identical to the natural hormones produced by our own bodies. For most patients, the benefits of balanced hormones and symptom relief can usually last for several months as the pellets slowly dissolve.
As with any therapy, supplement, nutritional plan, or treatment – results and benefits will vary depending on the person. Contact Weight Success Centers for individualized solutions to achieve greater health and wellness.
