Many patients come to us with issues like exhaustion, stress, trouble sleeping, foggy thinking, and weight gain. Our patients may have even tried seeking help from their regular medical provider, only to be told that these problems are just a result of aging. Now, though, residents don’t have to simply accept these issues as just being part of the aging process, especially when they make doing everyday tasks stressful. Call Dr. Kirk A. Churukian to explore our Los Gatos, CA BioTE hormone program!
Los Gatos, CA BioTE Hormone Program
Hormones play a major role in our overall health and well-being, and many problems like fatigue and restlessness can be traced back to a hormone imbalance. A hormone imbalance can also cause weight gain and mood swings.
At our clinic, we use pellet insertion to deliver a consistent amount of bioidentical hormones that travel through the patient’s bloodstream. Bioidentical means using hormones identical in molecular structure to those produced by the body. This process can balance hormones and alleviate symptoms.
Our Los Gatos BioTE hormone program differs from traditional hormone replacement therapy. Traditionally, hormones are processed from animals and synthetics. In BioTE, the hormones are made from plant estrogens, and they’re chemically identical to the patient.
Both men and women can benefit from this type of treatment. For women, hormone decline is often sudden, while men’s hormone levels usually decline gradually. The total time can be between five and ten years as their testosterone and hormones drop. Women often have immediate symptoms, while men may experience gradual symptoms like weight gain or a decrease in sex drive.
We recommend both women and men to explore this treatment option. It’s also important to note that every patient is different, with some seeing relief in as little as four weeks. For other patients, the entire process can take up to six months.
