Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Weight Loss in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hormone Therapy for Weight Loss in Sherman Oaks, CA

For many years, physicians and researchers struggled to connect the dots between hormones and their role in weight loss. Women have long known that food cravings and sluggish metabolisms were very real problems, making it hard to lose weight, but convincing the medical world of their link to weight was difficult. Recent studies have linked hormones and weight gain, indicating that hormonal treatment for weight loss is a viable option.

Hormonal Weight Gain

Most men and women won't realize their hormones are out of balance, but correcting problems within this system can help you lose weight. Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that are responsible for a long list of body functions, including growth, sexual function, metabolism, and weight.

To identify a hormonal imbalance, a provider can use several different tests including:

Hormone level tests can indicate if your weight gain or inability to lose weight is hormonal. When a hormonal imbalance is present, it can lead to weight gain. In men, a lack of testosterone can cause these issues, while for women the problem may stem from estrogen imbalance. Thankfully, these hormonal imbalances and deficiencies can be treated.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Weight Loss

When weight gain is caused by a hormonal imbalance, the most common treatment is to correct that imbalance. This is done by replacing or balancing the hormones with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). One form of HRT is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy , or BHRT, which utilizes hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body creates naturally.

Hormonal treatment for weight loss will vary, depending on the individual receiving the treatment. For men, testosterone replacement therapy for weight loss may be the primary option. For women, estrogen replacement therapy for weight loss may be a better choice.

Bioidentical hormones and weight loss have been linked. The right BHRT treatment plan can lead to:

  • Weight loss
  • Decreased fat
  • Increased lean muscle

In addition to BHRT, other hormonal weight loss treatments exist such as human growth hormone for weight loss and the hCG diet . Not all providers offer or recommend each of these options.
