Unlocking Wellness: BHRT Pellets at Fountain Medical Spa with Dr. Nhi Le

In recent years, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has gained popularity as a safe and effective way to address hormone imbalances and the associated symptoms. At the forefront of this medical breakthrough is Dr. Nhi Le, a renowned expert in BHRT, and Fountain Medical Spa, a trusted destination for hormone therapy. In this blog post, we’ll explore the world of BHRT pellets and how Dr. Nhi Le and Fountain Medical Spa are transforming lives with this revolutionary treatment.

Understanding BHRT Pellets:

BHRT pellets are small, customized hormone implants made from bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. These pellets are typically inserted under the skin, where they release a consistent and steady dose of hormones over several months. This approach offers several advantages over other hormone replacement methods.

Precise Hormone Balance: BHRT pellets are tailored to each patient’s unique hormonal needs. This precision ensures that individuals receive the right amount of hormones, reducing the risk of over or under-treatment.

Consistent Delivery: Unlike pills or creams, BHRT pellets provide a continuous and consistent release of hormones, eliminating the fluctuations associated with other delivery methods.

Convenience: Once inserted, BHRT pellets require minimal maintenance, reducing the need for daily hormone management.

Low Side Effects: BHRT pellets have a lower risk of side effects compared to synthetic hormone replacement therapies.

Why does a woman with menopause or a hysterectomy need hormones?

It is a proven scientific fact that menopause or hysterectomy can cause hormonal imbalance in women. As per the reports of National Women’s health Information Centre, USA, one out of three women by the age of 60 has a hysterectomy done which also amount to 600,000 per annum. If you count the women in 40 plus age group with pre-menopause/menopause symptoms with this statistic you will know that a sizable women population of the country is suffering from hormonal constraint.

What is menopause?

Menopause is a stage where your ovaries lose the ability to produce higher levels of hormones that include estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.  Ovaries as you know are reproductive glands designated to store and release eggs into fallopian tubes. Menopause is a permanent disability that stops menstruation and divest women of reproductive ability. The term menopause is used to describe the changes experienced by women before or after the stoppage of menstruation.

What is hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy is the procedure used to remove uterus surgically. The procedure while removing uterus also compromises with the blood supply to ovaries causing atrophy or ovarian dysfunction. This could lead to declined levels of hormone production. The surgery is performed when women suffer from issues like uterine fibroid, uterine prolapsed or displacement of uterus, abnormal vaginal bleeding, cancer of uterus, ovaries or cervix, thickening of uterus or adeonomyosis etc.

Hysterectomy surgery leaves women in a surgical menopause stage. This is not natural menopause but induced surgically, so it drastically reduces the production of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. In the natural process, it is gradual and takes years to decrease hormone levels but with hysterectomy a woman may go through drastic changes taking place in her body and with that decline of hormone levels.

What are hormones and how they help body functions?

These are messenger elements that travel via blood stream across all body systems so as to start, stop, slow down or speed up chemical and physical processes and functions. Conventionally women have been advised not to worry about the absence of ovaries or uterus as they are not needed any longer and along with that the hormones that they produce. It is not true because rest of your body needs hormones to function even if you don’t need them for uterus or ovaries.

How do the three primary hormones help in the functioning of your body?

Estrogen

  • Helps in the growth of muscle tissues such as the development of reproductive organs and breasts and enable them to function efficiently.
  • Conserve moisture content and elasticity of the skin, prevent plaque from forming in walls of blood vessels and dilates blood vessels.
  • Enhance brains functions and synthesis of neurotransmitters that influence moods, sleep, libido and cognitive factors such as focus and learning and memory.
  • Helps preserve bone mass
  • Reduces the awareness of pain
  • Increases good cholesterol or HDL
  • Lower levels of estrogen will lead to dry vagina and painful sex

Progesterone

  • Progesterone is produced by ovaries primarily but is also produced by brain cells, adrenal glands and peripheral nerves in reduced levels.
  • Assure the development of breasts and female reproductive tract and their related functions
  • Attach to receptors in the brain to produce sedating and calming effect
  • Provides protection against seizures and improves sleep
  • It being diuretic, removes sodium from kidneys effectively by helping them
  • Insulin sensitivity of body is enhanced by progesterone
  • Body metabolism and functioning of thyroid hormones is enhanced
  • Helps in the process of bone building
  • Improves and streamlines cardiovascular system by preventing the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Also helps reduce triglycerides levels in the blood.
  • Importantly increases levels of libido
  • Contributes to the efficient use and management of fat as an energy source.

Testosterone

  • Testosterone is produced in ovaries and adrenal glands of women
  • Builds muscles, bones and importantly strengthens ligaments
  • Helps in the function of brain, and is affiliated with sense of well-being and assertive behavior
  • Increased testosterone levels play a great role in peaceful sleep and body stamina
  • Testosterone is a great protective cover against heart diseases in both women and men

Feeling Tired? You May Need IV Nutrition Therapy

IV Nutrition Therapy Victoria TXLet’s face it – you try to eat healthy as often as possible.  But between your time in the office, your busy schedule at home, and all the things you need to do in between, it’s no wonder that your diet and exercise plans sometimes slip to the wayside.  With that in mind, it’s no wonder you might be feeling fatigued, lethargic, and not as healthy as you could be.

What’s IV Nutrition Therapy?

At first glance, IV nutrition therapy might seem like something you can only find in hospitals when you’re not feeling well.  In recent years, however, researchers have discovered that IV nutrition therapy is an efficient and powerful way to deliver a cocktail of beneficial vitamins directly to the body’s bloodstream.  The end result is that patients feel healthier, less fatigued, and ready to take on the day.

In fact, it’s thought that IV nutrition therapy can counteract the effects of a number of health conditions and diseases, including: chronic fatigue, bronchitis, fibromyalgia, hay fever, narcotic withdrawal, depression, headaches, hyperthyroidism, stress, and more.

Do You Suffer From Adrenal Fatigue?

chronic-stressHave you been tired lately?  Suffering from more colds than usual?  With winter finally here, you might think your immune system is overloaded from the change in weather – but it could actually be something much more serious.

Acute stress may seem like an ordinary part of the modern life, but it can actually cause significant damage to your immune system.  When we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed by work, family, or even just the responsibilities of day-to-day life, the body releases adrenal stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.  While these stress hormones can be essential in fight-or-flight situations, prolonged exposure can wreak havoc on your immune system.

This effect is known as adrenal fatigue, and it can have a number of effects on your immune system, including:

  • Increased frequency of colds and flu
  • Decreased energy levels
  • Weight gain
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Inflammation

In some severe cases, too much chronic stress can actually increase your risk odds for certain diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and even cancer.

In other words, adrenal fatigue can be extremely unhealthy, and potentially even deadly.

Your adrenals – the hormones that are released when you experience stress – need time to recover after a fight-or-flight situation.  When you suffer from chronic stress, you’re not giving your adrenals time to recover.  Fortunately, there are a number of methods and treatments you can use to help counteract the effects of adrenal fatigue

That’s why at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, founder and anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, which is the preferred treatment for adrenal fatigue.  When combined with a nutrition supplement and a healthy lifestyle, bioidentical hormones can counteract the effects of adrenal fatigue, leaving patients feeling refreshed, energetic, rested, and years younger.

During your bioidentical hormone therapy, Dr. Le will monitor your treatments to ensure you’re getting the best results possible.  She’ll also work with you to help you discover and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

To learn more about adrenal fatigue and bioidentical hormone therapy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. You can learn more by calling 361-576-9100.

The Best Foods to Balance Your Hormones

Instagram-image-option-for-Dr-KhromWhether you’re going through menopause or dealing with post-pregnancy hormones, dealing with out-of-whack hormones can be incredibly frustrating.  That’s why many men and women are focused on the best ways to balance hormones, whether through medication or natural supplements.

However, did you know that one of the best ways to balance your hormones is through your dinner plate?

That’s right: the food you eat can have a big impact on your hormonal balance.  If you’re interested in putting your hormones in check – not to mention enjoying smooth, glowing skin and increased concentration – here are the foods you should start adding to your dinner plate:

  • Clean Protein: It’s no secret that the grocery store is stocked with meat, poultry, and fish that’s rife with hormones and antibiotics. If you’re not eating organic and hormone-free proteins, you’re actually ingesting the same hormones that the animals are consuming. If you want to balance your hormones, commit to buying the cleanest protein possible!
  • Healthy Fats: That’s right – fats are good for you! Avocadoes, coconut oil, olive oil, fish, and nuts and seeds are all filled with healthy fats that balance your hormones.  As an extra benefit, these healthy fats can improve your mood, thicken your hair, and make your skin look like it’s glowing!
  • Vegetables: Veggies are filled with good-for-you fiber that can help balance and regulate your hormones.  If you want to up the ante on your diet, opt to fill your plate with brightly-colored veggies.  Go for diversity, too – if there’s too much green on your plate, add sliced carrots and butternut squash for diversity.

Of course, one of the best ways to balance your hormones is by incorporating a bioidentical hormone regimen into your diet.  At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le tailors naturally-derived bioidentical hormones to your specific needs.  After a hormone test, Dr. Le will determine the precise level of hormones you need to function at your best.

Have You Heard of Testosterone for Women?

Instagram-image-option-for-Dr-KhromYes, you read that right!

Although testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone – after all, men produce 10 times the amount of testosterone than women – medical research has uncovered some surprising links between testosterone and women’s health.  It’s now believed that during menopause, the loss of testosterone – not estrogen – is primarily responsible for the fatigue, weight gain, and loss of libido that’s so common.

It’s not surprising, considering the important role testosterone plays in a woman’s health.  In fact, women produce up to ten times more testosterone than estrogen in their early reproductive years.  That means that focusing on increasing testosterone intake – rather than estrogen – could be crucial for managing a woman’s menopausal symptoms.

The Benefits of Testosterone for Women

 If you’re looking for specific reasons why you should consider increasing your testosterone intake, consider these compelling benefits:

  • Testosterone can help relieve the most common symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
  • It can also help decrease urinal urgency, or the desire to constantly go to the bathroom.
  • Increasing testosterone can help improve your mood, as well as your mental clarity and concentration. If you ever feel like you’re in a fog, testosterone could help you improve your ability to focus.
  • Testosterone can help re-ignite your sexual spark, as this hormone is responsible for increasing sexual desire and libido.
  • This hormone can help increase bone density, which is a serious health problem many menopausal women face. Additionally, testosterone can help increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat, thus combatting menopausal weight gain.
  • Testosterone can help increase blood flow and improve cardiovascular health. This is critical, especially considering that heart disease is a top killer of women.

One of the best ways to enjoy the benefits of testosterone is to take bioidentical hormones, which are naturally derived from plants.  At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas,
Dr. Nhi Le can tailor bioidentical hormones to your exact needs, so you can enjoy all the incredible benefits of testosterone.

Tips for Women to Optimize Their Health

As a woman, you know how important it is to keep yourself fit and healthy. After all, you want to live a long and happy life, full of family and friends. That’s why it’s so important to approach your health from all aspects, whether it be your hormonal balance, your risk for serious diseases, and even your weight management.

No matter where you are in your stage of life, here are a few tips you can use to optimize your health, courtesy of Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.

Get Regular Screenings

Of course, part of staying healthy involves getting regular screenings for major diseases and health conditions, including cancers, heart attacks, and strokes. This vigilance is especially important for women, as cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) is the top killer of women. In fact, it’s estimated that it kills over 500,000 American women each year – and the number is rising, thanks to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy diets.

Annual wellness exams can play an important role in making sure that you’re cutting down your risks for developing these diseases. Additionally, comprehensive blood tests can help your doctor determine your risks for certain diseases by analyzing your .

Speaking of which…

Test Your Hormones

Hormone imbalance can make it very difficult for women to live active and healthy lives. That’s why it’s important to have a doctor test your hormones on a regular basis. A hormone test can help your doctor determine your risk for osteoporosis, dementia, depression, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and thyroid function. Your hormones can reveal a lot about your health and well-being – and your doctor can help you figure out what’s going on!

Bio-identical hormones are derived from natural plant sources to produce molecules, which are physiologically identical to hormones produced naturally in the human body. They produce the same physiologic responses as those of endogenous hormones (naturally produced hormones), and are much more effective than synthetic hormones.

Stay Active & Reduce Stress

Keeping active isn’t just essential for maintaining your weight; it’s also critical for leading a healthy and well-adjusted life. Regular exercise can keep your heart healthy, cut down your risks for most cancers and diseases, and even keep depression at bay. If you’re not sure how to get started on the path to fitness, your doctor can design an exercise regimen that can help you stay fit and healthy for the rest of your life.

In addition to exercise it’s important to try to regulate stress. Getting a good night’s sleep (maximizing deep REM sleep) and engaging in yoga or meditation can help your body de-stress. Try simply making time for your favorite (healthy) hobby every day, even for only 15-30 min, such as reading, board games, a quiet homemade dinner, or even a nice walk around the neighborhood.

Eat Well

Active clean eating and avoid fad diets. This means staying away from fast food, processed food, and soda. Instead opt for natural, organic foods. Think more green and colorful foods, high in fiber, protein and other nutrients, and less sugar starches. Dr. Le can help improve your diet with her nutritional counseling.

It’s also important to limit your alcohol consumption and avoid recreational and prescription drugs. If you smoke, actively take steps to cut down and then quit.

Male Weight Gain: Why Your Hormones May Be to Blame

enhance jawline in menYou’re entering your golden years, and you’re ready for all the wisdom, fun, and rounds of golf that come with them.  Unfortunately, you’re not exactly prepared for your expanding waistline – and it seems like no matter how much exercise you do, you just can’t seem to lose that weight.

It turns out, male weight gain could be blamed on your fluctuating hormone levels.  As you age, your cortisol levels start to increase, while your testosterone levels start to dip.  When this occurs, your body fat begins to increase, which is usually most evident around your midsection.

To make things even more complicated, the increase in body fat can actually convert some of your testosterone into estrogen, which leads to even more weight gain and hormonal imbalance.

This hormonal imbalance is precisely why it’s so important for men to seek out hormonal replacement therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  Founder and anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le uses testosterone replacement therapy to help address some of the biggest concerns associated with male weight gain.  With testosterone replacement therapy, you can expect to see the following weight-loss benefits:

  • Increased muscle mass
  • Increased metabolism
  • Higher energy levels
  • Lower body fat

When done in combination with a healthy diet and exercise, testosterone replacement therapy can help you lose weight, feel more energetic, and enjoy a trimmer waistline.

Hormone replacement therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa can also be used to address a number of concerns relating to andropause.  This is an age-related condition that occurs as men enter middle age and their testosterone levels start to drop.  By supplementing low testosterone levels with bioidentical hormones, you can enjoy feeling the following benefits:

  • Higher sex drive
  • Increased levels of concentration
  • Mental clarity
  • Higher energy levels
  • Greater sexual satisfaction
  • Greater sense of fulfillment and happiness

In addition to hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Nhi Le can also monitor your weight loss via nutritional guidance, exercise, and supplements.

Irritable Male Syndrome: What You Need to Know

shutterstock_92835067When it comes to the aging process, most people associate irritability with menopause; however, middle-aged men often experience irritability and hormone-related mood swings.

Andropause – a condition that afflicts middle-aged men in which their testosterone levels dip – typically causes irritability and mood swings in men between the ages of 30 and 60.  This irritability is caused by hormonal imbalances, which can also cause the following symptoms:

  • Weight gain
  • Decreased energy levels
  • Mental fogginess
  • Lower sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Depression

The official name for these mood swings is Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS).  IMS occurs when high cortisol levels (which can cause weight gain and anxiety) meet low testosterone levels.  These hormonal levels can lead to outbursts, volatile emotions, depression, and anxiety.

While andropause is a common condition that affects the majority of men, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with these debilitating symptoms.  At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le can help treat irritability and mood swings associated with low testosterone levels.

Hormone replacement therapy is a unique type of treatment that can help address some of the most common symptoms associated with andropause.  Dr. Le uses bioidentical hormones, which are derived from plants and are identical to hormones found within the body.  During your treatment, Dr. Le will measure your current hormone levels, which ensures that she’s creating the most specific and relevant hormone therapy for you.

Over the course of your treatment, Dr. Le will also develop an exercise regimen, nutritional plan, and provide you with supplements to help complement the results of your hormone replacement therapy.  During your treatment, you expect to see the following benefits:

  • Greater sense of satisfaction
  • Better moods
  • A decrease in mood swings and irritability
  • Increase in sexual appetite
  • Increased muscle mass
  • Decrease in body fat
  • Greater mental clarity
  • Improved concentration

Don’t let irritability and mood swings control your life.  Get control over your life – and feel better! – with testosterone replacement therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Call (361) 576-9100 to learn more!
