I kept seeing patients with the same problems that wouldnt go away, and I thought to myself weve got to stop this before it starts.We need to be proactive about the effects of aging.

WHY BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES?

If you’re like most of our patients, you’ve likely already gone to your doctor because your level of fatigue is severe enough to be interrupting your day. You may have a low sex drive, toss and turn at night, or you hold onto stubborn weight gain no matter how devoted you are to the gym. Your doctor sensed your concern and ran some tests that came back normal, so they sent you on your way, with a “Hey, it’s just the aging process, your hormone levels are normal for your age.” And they’d be right, your levels likely are “normal”–but normal doesn’t mean they’re optimal. Here at the Unlimited Health Institute, we never want you to feel “normal for your age”, we want to remind you that you are exceptional.

WHAT ARE BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES?

BHRT for MenBHRT for Women

Derived from Soy, or Yams, Bio-identical hormones contain the same chemical structure as the hormones your body naturally produces. Because of their genetic makeup, they are the perfect solution for optimizing hormones. Traditional hormone replacement therapies use hormones whose genetic structure has been manipulated so they are similar, but not identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. What makes them problematic is that sometimes our bodies don’t completely recognize them and so these synthetic hormones attach to cells they were never made to connect with. Because bio-identical hormones are naturally identical to the hormones we produce, the integration process is much less risky, and far more rewarding.

BHRT for MEN

Men as young as 35 can begin to notice an unexplainable fatigue, decline in mental clarity or sexual dysfunctions. This condition, known as Andropause, is caused by low testosterone, and often goes untreated. Most men chalk up their sluggishness to the aging processand learn to suffer through these symptoms:

  • Decreased Libido
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Loss of Muscle Strength
  • Memory Loss
  • Increased Belly Fat
  • Weight Gain
  • Irritable Male Syndrome

Many of these symptoms are easily alleviated, but most patients are convinced theres nothing they can do about it. Medical literature suggests that Testosterone replacement in men utilizing bio-identical hormones in physiologic doses is not only safe, but also protective. Testosterone has been shown to increase muscle strength and lean body mass, improve sexual response, prevent osteoporosis, protect against cardiovascular disease, increase energy, fight impotence, and improve mood and sense of well-being. A recent published study showed that men with higher testosterone levels also tend to live longer.

Testosterone is vitally important, so why do we wait until levels are dangerously low to begin thinking about a solution? We need to be proactive in our approach to aging and Dr. Henry has found a way to help you preserve your quality of life without skipping a beat. Dont wait until youre foggy, grumpy, and dont feel like yourself anymore. Let Unlimited Health Institute show you what you can do to get ahead of the aging process. Dont waste another minute feeling like a shell of the person you used to be, this is your lifetake it back.
