Pregnenolone Hormone Replacement Therapy in Gatlinburg, TN
Your body is filled with hormones, each serving a unique function that impacts your overall wellness. These hormones, such as estrogen , testosterone and DHEA , are generated by precursor hormones. One of the most important of these precursor hormones is pregnenolone.
Pregnenolone is a steroidal precursor hormone created primarily in your adrenal glands. Because of this, pregnenolone has a profound impact on your adrenal health, and can lead to adrenal stress or adrenal fatigue . If you're suffering from hormonal imbalance , or think you may be, please call (423) 482-8711 or contact Dr. Dalal Akoury online.
What is Pregnenolone?
Pregnenolone is one of the most important precursor hormones in your system. Without pregnenolone, your body could not create estrogen , progesterone, testosterone , DHEA and cortisol . Because of this, pregnenolone has been aptly nicknamed "the mother of all steroidal hormones."
Like DHEA, pregnenolone is created primarily in the adrenal glands. Any number of biological and psychological factors can cause your adrenal glands to become stressed, which leads to a drop in pregnenolone levels. That drop can wreak havoc on your system and cause many negative effects.
Adrenal Fatigue & Pregnenolone
Low levels of pregnenolone can be caused by adrenal stress, which can be the result of illness, lack of exercise, poor sleep, psychological trauma and just general stress. Adrenal stress ultimately leads to adrenal fatigue.
Some of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue include:
- Irritability
- Increased appetite
- Poor concentration
- Weakness
- Low body temperature
- Irritability
- Dizziness
- Dry skin
- Headaches
- Hair loss
Adrenal fatigue can also worsen or lead to a number of debilitating conditions that include:
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- osteoporosis
- Migraines
- Autoimmune disorders
- Low blood pressure
The effect most people associate with pregnenolone is memory loss. The hormone is crucial to maintaining your "sharpness" and short-term memory as you age. If you're suffering from pregnenolone deficiency, treatment may be necessary.
Pregnenolone & Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The safest, most effective way to deal with pregnenolone deficiency is with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This is especially true of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), a type of HRT that uses chemically identical pregnenolone, rather than the synthetic variety used in conventional hormone therapy.
Bio-identical pregnenolone hormone replacement therapy can:
- Restore your memory
- Improve your mood
- Correct adrenal fatigue
- Contribute to your overall wellness
Depending on your personal preference, there are a number of bio-identical hormone delivery methods . They include pills, patches, gels and injected pellets. The only way to find out which method is for you is to contact a doctor and ask about pregnenolone replacement.
