Yes, bioidentical hormones can cause weight loss in some individuals. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, also known as BHRT, is a form of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are made from plant materials and customized to match the individual's own hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works by replenishing deficient hormones in the body, restoring balance and helping to reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles, fatigue, and low libido. In addition, it may also aid in promoting weight loss.
Replenishing these thyroid hormones with bioidentical treatment helps increase metabolic rate and energy levels, making it easier for people to lose weight. It can also help reduce carbohydrate cravings and increase physical activity by providing more energy which makes it easier to stick to an exercise program.
For those who struggle with a slow metabolism due to hormonal imbalances caused by menopause or other health conditions such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, bioidentical hormone therapy may be a viable treatment option for stimulating metabolism and aiding in successful weight loss goals.
There is evidence to suggest that an effective program combining diet and exercise with BHRT will have greater success than dieting alone in achieving sustainable long-term weight loss results.
Moreover, when considering any type of hormone treatment for weight loss it’s important that you consult with your healthcare provider first before beginning any new protocol in order ensure safe usage of the medication coupled with regular monitoring of your blood work while on the medication regimen so as to minimize risk of side-effects such as excessive hair growth or changes in your cholesterol levels.
