Checking Hormone Levels Could help Improve Men's Health

CHAPIN, S.C. - Sept. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- A simple check of hormones can be life changing for men.   Low hormone levels can be detrimental to a man's health, and the correct levels can help with disease prevention and much more.  Dr. Bright McConnell of FitMed Partners specializes in prevention and BHRT.

   FitMed's comprehensive Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Program (BHRT) is an option that can significantly increase quality of life and protect against disease. As men age, their testosterone levels decrease. This decline in hormones, when left untreated, can impact your weight, mood, mental clarity, and put them at increased risk for serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's and loss of bone density. Raising male testosterone levels to optimal (the upper range of normal) levels provides protection against these serious conditions.

   FitMed offers safe, natural, and medically-based bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) programs specifically customized to the body. Patients start the BHRT program with a consultation from Dr. Bright McConnell followed by full blood work. The FitMed Partners team will then provides a written analysis of test results, recommendations on a preventive action plan, and specific recommendations for additional lab work. Reducing the risk of age-related disease can take patients a long way toward living life better.

• How is BHRT different from other hormone options available?  How does this increase or decrease the risks?

BHRT utilizes hormones with a chemical structure identical to hormones naturally produced in the human body. This is an important difference between the more commonly prescribed synthetic hormones.

• Benefits for Men going through andropause

Men begin losing testosterone in their 30's. Symptoms include changes in mood, loss of energy and physical agility and loss of libido. BHRT optimizes testosterone levels which research has shown provides protection against heart disease, diabetes, loss of bone density and muscle strength and raises lean muscle mass, energy levels, libido, motivation, cognition, and memory.

• Emotional Benefits

Patients who utilize BHRT notice an almost immediate improvement in their anxiety and energy levels and sexual libido. Those who before found themselves feeling moody or forgetful will begin to stabilize mentally and emotionally as their body returns to a healthier, happier level of fitness, performance, and vitality.
