Spring Clean Your Health: How Hormone Optimization Can Help

Around your house, spring cleaning means clearing away what you don’t want — dust, cobwebs, clutter — while putting everything in its place. 

In your body, it can be no different. This spring, you have the opportunity to get everything in order so you can feel refreshed. Get rid of symptoms you don’t want and feel like your best self again. 

With spring cleaning, good results come from using the right tools. When spring cleaning your health, the right tools make all the difference, too. One of the tools you need is personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). 

Robert Grafton, MD, and our team offer BHRT at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan. We can help you decide if it’s the right tool to tackle your health-focused spring cleaning. 

Signs it’s time to tidy up

Your hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. 

When you look around your house, piles of stuff and dust are the messengers telling you it’s time to clean up. In your body, your hormones can send signals that help your system function the way it should, or they can signal that it’s time for a change.

When you live with a hormone imbalance, you might feel:

• Persistent fatigue
• Unwelcome mood changes
• Lower libido 
• Heavier, especially around your midsection
• Like your skin is drier and your hair is thinner
• Joint discomfort

If that sounds familiar, it’s probably time to tidy up.

Here at PSI Medical Group, Dr. Grafton can order lab tests to evaluate your current hormone levels. If he determines there’s an imbalance, he helps you spring clean your health with hormone optimization.

Using BHRT for hormone optimization

Dr. Grafton decides if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy based on your lab results and your symptoms. If you are, he creates a BHRT treatment plan tailored to you and your body’s specific hormone deficiencies. 

For women entering or in menopause, that usually means estrogen and progesterone replacement. For men, it’s often testosterone replacement. 

At PSI Medical Group, Dr. Grafton uses bioidentical hormones derived from plants. They’re formulated so your body can’t tell the replacement hormones from the ones it makes. 

You get replacement hormones via a tiny pellet that Dr. Grafton implants just under your skin near your hip. The pellet releases a steady stream of hormones into your body. It’s like spring cleaning for your system, but you don’t have to do any work. 

If you think your body could use a refresh this spring, come see Dr. Grafton. Call our team at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan, or book your visit through our convenient online scheduler today.
