Better Mental Health
When someone experiences a significant change in mood for an extended period of time associated with loss of interest in usual activities, has sleeping and eating disorders, and withdraws from family and friends, she/he is suffering from poor mental health. This can happen to anyone of any age. It afflicts about twenty million Americans each year. Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from poor mental health.
Improving Your Mental Health
Being physically healthy, requires being mentally healthy; therefore, it is important to incorporate a proactive age management plan to maintain balance and stability. Mental and emotional changes are clearly caused by unbalanced and/or low hormonal levels. The best solution is one that balances and restores the integrity of those hormones.
Mental Functions Affected by Poor Mental Health can include:
- Insomnia
- Nervousness, Anxiety, Irritability
- Loss of Memory
- Depression
- Decreased Motivation
As we age, the body slowly loses neurons, which connect the brain to make learning and memory possible. This deterioration is responsible for much for the poor mental health that is associated with old age.
- Hormones such as Progesterone and Estrogen affect the mind and mood.
- Progesterone and Estrogen assist in regulating brain Serotonin levels.
- As Serotonin levels in the brain rises, the mood becomes upbeat and positive. As Serotonin levels fall, the mood fluctuates, suffers a down turn and becomes negative.
- As Progesterone and Estrogen imbalances occur, their levels fluctuate resulting in a rise and fall of Serotonin, which leads to poor mental health.
Studies have shown that on average, women tend to live longer than men. For that reason, it is more likely that women are more likely to experience mental deterioration as they age. Continued research efforts have concluded that Estrogen enhancement acts to protect the fragile neurons of the brain.
Natural “Bio-Identical” Hormone Therapy
Natural or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), is the art and science of restoring balance to decrease the unpleasant symptoms and treat diseases caused by hormone imbalances.
Bio-Identical Hormones such as: Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone contain the same structure as the hormones produced naturally by the human body. Specialized testing is performed to pinpoint which specific hormones are out of balance. Based on the test results and symptoms, an individualized treatment regimen is determined utilizing bio-identical hormones.
This is not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to restoring balance. It is as individual as you are. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has been shown in many studies to greatly stall the effects of aging. This therapy can improve your mental health.
