Boost Energy & Libido with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

If you're feeling fatigue, decreased sex drive, if you've had unwanted weight gain, if you have systemic inflammatory issues, or if you have joint pain, then bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can be one of the measures that can help you reach what we at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in downtown Wichita Falls, Texas call the peak of wellness. Hello, this is Dr. Joshua Schachter. I'm the CEO and owner as well as the medical director of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Clinic in downtown Wichita Falls. And I'm a board certified orthopedic surgeon and I've performed over 20,000 procedures. Today. I want to talk to you a little bit about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the amazing advances that have been made in this field as well as what it can do to help you. Using myself as an example, I'm a board certified orthopedic surgeon. As I mentioned, I've been performing orthopedic surgery for 20 years and I've done thousands of joint and reconstructive procedures. I'm also a recovering hormone train wreck. In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with low testosterone. I was about 35 when I got my testosterone checked and it was around 300. I been having significant symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, difficulty in the gym, and decreased sex drive. And I obviously needed treatment. My symptoms were significant and I found that I had to make a change in my own life. I had all of the real problems that would be associated with the loss of sex hormones. And so I became interested in hormone replacement therapy for myself. Once I started treatment, my life was completely changed and I feel like I'm the best testimonial I can give for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at this point. Point. I began HRT at age 35 and immediately my life was changed. My sex drive returned, my sleep and mood improved drastically, and I was once again able to make gains in the gym which were significant. By the time I was 40, I was as fit as I had ever been. Now how do we know that we need hormone replacement therapy? Well, in general, aging has been shown to decrease our natural hormone levels, but stress can also depress our natural hormone levels. And who in this modern world is not completely stressed? So what are the some of the effects we can see with low self sex hormones? We can see fatigue, we see unwanted weight gain, and oftentimes people with low hormones can gain an average of 20 or more pounds when they go through either andro or menopause. We see joint pain or muscular pain, and we see decreased exercise tolerance. So all these things combine to decrease our overall health span and our quality of life. Personally, I've been on hormone replacement therapy for about 11 years. And what I found is that when I started hormone replacement therapy, immediately I began to sleep better. I found that my sex drive had improved and my performance in the gym was trained drastically improved. But interestingly, I found that my overall musculoskeletal health, the pain that I'd had in my joints and in my muscles, was drastically decreased when we had balanced my hormones. And that's continued to hold out even to today. And so part of the most important thing that we can do for a patient with joint pain or any health issue is to address hormone and lifestyle imbalances. And so that is what a big part of what we do here at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in downtown Wichita Falls, Texas. So how can we get you to the peak of wellness?
