How Hormones Affect Your Relationship

Does your partner remark about your hormones?


“Wow, tread lightly around her today!”


“Are your hormones raging, darling?’


“You’re acting like a crazy person!”


 

When you hear these words does a little part of you think, “Yes, you are exactly rightI feel all out of whack.”


Sometimes you know that it’s hormones affecting you and other times you might not even realize hormones may be the culprit of your irritability, brain fog, fatigue and a laundry list of other symptoms.


 

Not only can hormones disturb your way of life but think about the impression hormones can leave on your relationship (not feeling in the mood, headaches, lack of desire, up and down moods, potential weight gain, etc.)


 


How Hormones Impact Your Relationship  


It’s probably only a half-joke when your partner refers to your mood swings and why you just can't seem to regulate your body temperature.


But these feelings can be real and can impact your life. 


So keep in mind: you're NOT a crazy person, your hormones are.



Do any of these sound familiar? 

  • Fatigue
  • Mood Changes
  • Decreased Mental Ability
  • Hot Flashes/Night Sweats
  • Weight Gain
  • Decreased Sex Drive
  • Sleep Problems
  • Always Cold
  • Hair Loss/Breakage
  • Dry Wrinkled Skin

 


If these symptoms are common to you, an imbalance in your hormones could be taking place.

 

This could also account for those times in your relationship where your mood swings took over, or you lacked intimacy and just didn't know why. 


 


A Treatment Option To Balance Your Hormones 


Thankfully, your experience with hormone imbalance has a treatment optionBioTE.


In short, BioTE is your happy hormone helper.


 

WHAT IS BIOTE®?


Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a natural treatment option for patients and is delivered via pellet therapy.


Pellet Therapy comes in the forms of pellets which are placed under the skin, with little downtime, and are more natural for your body, therefore, the chance of negative interactions is lessened.


These pellets have the same structure as naturally occurring human hormones and are plant-derived and found in nature.

 


BIOTE® PELLET THERAPY:

 

  • More consistent with dosing versus another hormone therapy
  • More sustainable for your body; pills and creams can create an uncomfortable rollercoaster effect.
  • Studies show improvements in conditions like PMS, anxiety, osteoporosis, heart disease, menopause, and depressions.

 

 

If you’ve read the article this far, we hope you can now see some light (through your potential hormone imbalance).


Not only can your hormones improve, but other areas of your life can as well (like your relationship(s) - especially with your partner).

What does the word IV make you think of? A hospital setting, or even better—does the word IV remind you of George Clooney racing down the hospital hallway in ER? (We’ll take the reminder of Mr. Clooney, please!) We understand that the thought of an IV can definitely conjure up a not-so-enticing sterile environment feeling. But what if we said an IV can actually induce relaxation and support your wellness at the same time? We want to welcome you to Drip—IV Vitamin Therapy at Renew Medical Spa in Pueblo, CO. So, what is IV therapy, exactly? Let’s find out… What Is IV Therapy? IV (stands for intravenous) Therapy can deliver vitamins, minerals, medication, and fluids through an IV drip. When this method is used to administer through the veins, your body receives what it needs in the bloodstream quickly and has a better rate (almost 90%) of absorption versus oral administration (about 50%). What Is IV Therapy Used For? IV Therapy is used to deliver much-needed fluids to the body. And in our case, at Renew, that looks like vitamins and minerals that support your immune system, energy to recharge, recovery from too much alcohol intake the night before, and a replenish combination for the athlete. VITAMINS AND MINERALS USED IN IV THERAPY • Zinc— Supports immune function and the body in making proteins and DNA • B-12— A big energy source! This water-soluble vitamin supports the functioning of your nervous system, as well as the production of red blood cells and DNA. • Magnesium— This very important mineral helps with nerve and muscle function, in addition to enzyme reactions in your body. • Amino Blend— This blend of building block proteins enhances muscle tissue repair and increases endurance. Perfect for the athlete who needs balance to their system. • Vitamin B Complex— Supports brain and nervous system function, energy levels and are building blocks of a healthy body. • Vitamin C— A powerhouse vitamin for aging gracefully! Vitamin C supports collagen (plumps the skin), immune system, wound healing, and is crucial for the development, growth, and repair of tissues in the body. • Glutathione— An antioxidant you want in your corner. Glutathione supports the immune system, body detoxification, and neutralizes free radicals. What Are the Benefits of IV Therapy? Aside from the obvious fact you’re taking care of YOU and carving out time for self-care and wellness (which is a big deal!)— IV Therapy offers these added bonuses: • Proper Absorption When a supplement is taken orally the absorption rate can be around 50%; with IV supplementation you’re looking at an absorption rate of close to 90%. This can provide peace of mind especially in regard to the results you’re seeking (energy, immune system support, hydration, etc.). • Customization Most IV drips can be customized to treat your specific concerns, so you can get exactly what you need. • Results An IV Therapy session typically lasts anywhere from 45-60 minutes. During this time, you can relax, watch TV, or catch up on email. As for the results (hydration, energy, etc.)—depending on the person—those can be felt immediately or up to a few days post-session. Are There Risks, If Any, With IV Therapy? With any treatment, one must be aware of any risk involved. Although IV Therapy is generally regarded as safe and low risk, there are a few things to keep in mind. • Anytime an IV is involved there’s a potential risk of infection, inflammation, and blood clots. • Please speak with a medical professional if you’re thinking about IV Therapy if you have kidney disease, blood pressure, or heart conditions. • If not monitored safely during infusion, fluid overload may occur which places you at risk for electrolyte imbalance. At Renew, we like to think of IV Therapy as wellness on demand. Whether you’re an athlete or a busy mom who needs some extra nourishment this is a perfect hour of your day to take care of yourself and your body! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call Renew, or schedule a consultation so we can help you make the best decision for you.

Do you know what the true fountain of youth is? (If that made you think of the movie Death Becomes Her and their “immortality treatment”, it did the same for us!) Aside from a healthy lifestyle, strong self-care, and a positive attitude—we’d have to say collagen ranks up there with the fountain of youth. We know there’s no stopping the clock or test of time, but if we want to slow it down, the increased production of collagen in your skin can absolutely help a youthful appearance (and I think we all want a little piece of that pie!). Please allow us to introduce you to Radiesse® dermal filler—a collagen stimulator that works with your body to reveal a refreshed look. What Is Radiesse Filler? We fell in love with this product and company ( Merz Aesthetics ) from the very beginning because of what they offer and how it works to suit your unique needs. Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler option that may give volume to areas that need help to smooth facial wrinkles, folds, and even hands. How Radiesse Filler Works “Collagen is the main structural protein in our skin—it’s what helps it feel and look tight, taught, and youthful. As we age, the production of collagen slows down, causing skin to sag. RADIESSE is a collagen stimulator. It stimulates the body’s process of generating collagen and encourages growth, for a more refreshed appearance, so beauty can bloom.” – RADIESSE®/Merz Aesthetics This unique dermal filler is made up of CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) gel microspheres that get to work upon injection. Most often, you should see immediate volume before the appointment is over and it continues to work long after by stimulating your own natural collagen (which creates that voluminous look). As time passes, the body metabolizes the CaHA gel and you’re left with your very own natural collagen to help maintain a youthful appearance—which is why this treatment can last longer than most other fillers . What Can I Expect During and After My Appointment? First and foremost, we highly recommend finding the right cosmetic injector . With research and consultation(s), you should be well on your way to finding the right fit for you! Once it’s time for your dermal filler injections, you’ll be given the option of numbing cream to help ease any discomfort that could be associated with the procedure. During this time, you and your cosmetic injector will have ongoing discussions on where you’ll be injected and the look you want to achieve. Aside from signing forms and numbing, the actual injections typically only take 15 minutes or so. As for what happens after your appointment—most people see volume or correction soon after injection and full results within a week or two. Maintenance and follow-up appointments are recommended which will be decided upon between you and your injector. It’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort but please consult with your skincare professional if any of those symptoms persist. What Are the Side Effects? If you have any of the following, Radiesse may not be the right dermal filler for you— • Allergy to any component of the product • History of severe allergies • Bleeding Disorder • Pregnant or breastfeeding • Allergy to lidocaine or medicines like it • Skin infection With any dermal filler, please thoroughly go over the intake forms and have an open conversation with your cosmetic injector about any concerns you may have. How Does Radiesse Differ from Other Dermal Fillers? One of the biggest differences with Radiesse is the use of CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) gel microspheres that stimulate the production of collagen versus hyaluronic acid that’s used by most other dermal fillers like Juvederm. Both fillers plump and add volume, but Radiesse works with your body for a long-lasting approach. Radiesse is best used for— • Back of hands for loss of volume • Smoothing facial wrinkles, especially around the nose and mouth • Volume loss in the cheek area • Reshape jawline • Contour the nose area Radiesse has quickly become one of our favorite dermal fillers at Renew! We love how it not only gives us the ability to add volume and reshape, but it also works with your body to produce natural collagen for long-lasting results—which is a key component to the fountain of youth (or at least looking refreshed!).
