Losing weight is almost never easy. It’s even worse when your hormones are fighting you every step of the way!
Changes to your hormonal balance, whether caused by aging, medication, or injury, can cause weight gain regardless of your efforts. Plus, hormone imbalance can deplete your energy and your initiative to exercise and eat better.
At Marcos Medical, we offer HRT for weight loss in San Antonio. Our bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can replenish the hormones your body needs to metabolize food better. Plus, HRT can give you a better attitude to lose weight and feel good about it.
Request an appointment to talk in-person about your situation, so you don’t have to delay your weight loss any longer!
How Hormone Imbalance Impacts Your Weight
Aging already starts us on a path to weight gain. As our hormones alter, we experience (among other things):
- Decreased metabolic rate. After the age of 20, the metabolic rate in an average person decreases by approximately 2% to 3% each decade.
- Decreased muscle mass. We not only lose muscle mass, the muscle that remains can be “tired” and have a lower ability to burn calories.
- Increased fatigue. Hormonal changes, such as a loss of estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone, can cause general fatigue. These changes can also reduce sleep, lower your thyroid’s output, and even deplete the iron in your body.
- Increased depression. As hormone levels drop, so can a person’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a “good mood” hormone, and it also helps with sleep and digestion along with libido. Depression can sap a person of energy along with the desire to improve their situation.
Why You Would Choose HRT for Weight Loss
In San Antonio, our bio-identical hormone replacement therapy patients rediscover improved function as they get their hormones back in balance. This is a boost for weight loss, as hormonal balance can give you:
- More energy
- Improved sleep
- Upgraded physical performance
- Better mood
How HRT Works
The Marcos Medical personalized approach to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy starts with a thorough hormone panel assessment. The results of this in-depth testing help us understand your unique hormonal requirements. Based on the results, a customized treatment plan is crafted to address your specific needs.
Once your ideal hormone levels have been determined, our providers will administer bio-identical hormone pellets to optimize your hormone levels. This pellet therapy utilizes processed hormones derived from natural sources, such as plants, that are chemically identical to those in your body.
We place the pellets under the skin, usually in the hip area, deeply enough so that they’re not noticeable to the naked eye. As time passes, these pellets gradually release hormones into your bloodstream at a predicted rate.
These hormones return balance by supporting your body’s natural hormone production for up to 6 months following treatment. After this period, we can insert new pellets to continue your therapy for ongoing improvements and comfort.
