Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) in Evanston, Wyoming

At Meadowlark Mind & Body, we recognize that a decline in hormone production is a natural part of aging, starting as early as your 30s and becoming more noticeable in middle age. Hormones function as chemical messengers and regulate mood, energy, metabolism, sexual health, and overall well-being. When hormone levels become imbalanced, it can lead to emotional and physical symptoms that significantly impact quality of life.

Despite past misinformation regarding the dangers of synthetic hormone therapy—which can result in serious health risks and side effects—many individuals remain unaware of the safety and benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). BHRT is a safer and more effective alternative for addressing hormone imbalances and related conditions.

Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Both men and women experiencing hormone imbalances may face a variety of symptoms, including:

• Emotional Symptoms: Anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings.
• Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, weight gain, night sweats, hot flashes, and lack of muscle tone.
• Cognitive Symptoms: Memory issues, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.
• Sexual Health Symptoms: Low libido, erectile dysfunction in men, and vaginal dryness in women.
• Sleep Disruptions: Insomnia or poor-quality sleep.

Unfortunately, traditional medical approaches often treat individual symptoms without addressing the underlying hormonal imbalances. This can lead to frustration, reliance on multiple medications (polypharmacy), and untreated root causes.

How BHRT Can Help

At Meadowlark Mind & Body, we provide bioidentical hormones that address these issues at their source. BHRT offers a safe, effective alternative to synthetic hormone therapy, with fewer side effects and significant health benefits.

Here are some hormones we evaluate and prescribe, along with how they help:

• Testosterone (for men and women):
  • Men: Improves energy, strength, mood, libido, and mental clarity while supporting muscle mass, cardiovascular health, and weight management.
  • Women: Addresses low libido, fatigue, depression, and loss of muscle tone while supporting bone density and overall vitality.
• Progesterone (primarily for women):
  • Supports restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and balances mood.
  • Assists with PMS and perimenopausal symptoms and helps prevent estrogen dominance.
• Thyroid Hormones (T3/T4):
  • Regulate metabolism, energy levels, weight management, and cognitive function.
  • Address symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and cold intolerance.
• Estrogen (primarily for women but also monitored in men):
  • Women: Alleviates hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness while supporting bone health, cognitive function, and cardiovascular protection.
  • Men: Supports joint health, libido, cardiovascular function, and emotional balance when optimized alongside testosterone.
• DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone):
  • Enhances energy, mood, immune function, and libido.
  • Serves as a precursor to testosterone and estrogen, contributing to overall hormone balance.
• Cortisol:
  • Helps manage stress and energy levels throughout the day.
  • Imbalanced cortisol (high or low) can contribute to anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and weight gain.
