What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
While hormones typically don’t start decreasing until our older years, the body’s ability to produce hormones can be hindered by factors such as: an unhealthy diet, inadequate sleep, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, high stress, and living a sedentary lifestyle. Despite the cause of hormonal insufficiencies, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can help Soldotna men and women supplement hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. In the past, the options for patients suffering from hormonal decline were limited to non-bioidentical hormone therapy. However, bioidentical hormones are vastly different than past forms of hormone replacement therapy–offering a natural option with unique benefits.
Other forms of hormone therapy use compound hormones. Made from animal waste products–such as horse urine–and since horse hormones are not identical to human hormones–drastic side effects can occur. Bioidentical Hormones are made from natural soy or yam sources and are created to mimic the body’s naturally produced hormones. Bioidentical Hormones are identical in molecular structure and function to the hormones produced the body produces naturally. Their familiar structure allows them to be easily metabolized and accepted into the body. For this reason, many men and women can use them without negative side effects.
With Bioidentical Hormones, it is possible to fully customize dosages and delivery methods to fit each individual’s needs. In the past, other forms of hormone therapy were “one size fits all” and many people encountered intensified hormonal imbalances due to improper dosing. For example, a woman with a minimal estrogen deficiency would receive the same dosing as a woman with a severe estrogen deficiency–which could lead to an even greater health risk known as estrogen dominance. Robert Ledda, M.D. will test each individual’s hormone levels and provide treatments that supplement specific deficiencies in a customized treatment approach.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Delivery Approaches
Oral Hormone Supplements:
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy can help restore normal hormone function and health. Restoring those primary functions can be as easy as taking a couple of extra supplements a day. Oral Hormone Supplements can be in the form of pills, soft gel capsules, powders, and liquids and can be a wonderful and simple addition to your health and upkeep routines.
Transdermal Hormone Patches and Creams:
Skin is the largest organ of the human body and can absorb all manner of things it encounters–from cosmetics to the plastics from the bottles those cosmetics are stored in. Hormones can also be absorbed this way. By placing them directly on the skin as a cream or patch, it allows those hormones to be absorbed directly into the systemic circulation system (the system that carries blood through your arteries, veins, and capillaries), which means less work for your liver. From there, it’s simply a matter of the hormones working through the system to give that healthy, natural boost and amplify your wellbeing!
Hormone Injections:
Receiving much needed Bioidentical Hormone Therapy can be as easy as a quick injection–just like your annual flu vaccine. These injections are often administered to the upper thigh or buttocks at consistent increments for three to four weeks. Because of their quick metabolic absorption rate and frequency, they can be quickly adjusted to make sure they are fitting the needs and balances of the individual.
Implanted Hormone Pellet Therapy:
The procedure for implanting Bioidentical Hormone Pellets is quick and simple. After a local anesthesia is applied to the upper buttocks area, a small incision is made and a pellet the size of a grain of rice is inserted then covered with a small bandage. This procedure takes about 15 minutes and lasts for 4 to 6 months. While they are in your system, implanted pellets slowly release those helpful hormones in response to your natural stressors–keeping you steady and level for longer periods.
