January is the perfect time to set new wellness goals and commit to a healthier lifestyle — in fact, nearly 80% of Americans say their New Year’s resolutions involve health, diet, and exercise. However, when you feel tired, sluggish, and moody, making consistent progress can seem impossible.
For many, the root of the problem may not be a lack of willpower, but an underlying hormone imbalance working against their best efforts. At RVA Regenerative Wellness, Jennylle Zanzi, FNP-C, offers hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones to restore balance with minimal side effects.
Ready to create real, sustainable change this year? Here’s how bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can help you achieve your wellness goals for 2026 and beyond.
Sex hormones — such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — play a crucial role in both men’s and women’s health. Beyond sexual function and reproduction, these hormones also influence other important bodily processes, including metabolism, muscle repair, and mood.
When levels decline due to age, stress, or other factors, the resulting imbalance can affect your whole body. You may experience frustrating symptoms like weight gain, difficulty building muscle, persistent fatigue, and/or brain fog, which sabotage consistent progress towards your goals.
BHRT aims to bring hormone levels back into balance so your body can function at its peak. Bioidentical hormones are designed to mimic those you naturally produce, leading to better results and fewer side effects.
Jennylle uses BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellets, which we insert under the skin to provide a continuous, steady release of estrogen or testosterone over several months. This approach offers consistent support and eliminates the fluctuations that often occur with daily pills or creams.
Let’s take a look at how BHRT helps you overcome common obstacles to lasting wellness:
The mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog that often accompany low hormone levels can easily derail the most well-intentioned health resolutions. By restoring declining hormones, BHRT helps regulate the nervous system, leading to clearer cognitive function and improved emotional resilience that keeps you motivated, focused, and ready to tackle your goals.
Hormone imbalances can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle and cause physical symptoms that interrupt your rest, like the hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause. BHRT addresses the root cause of these issues, ensuring you get the deep, restorative sleep you need for optimal energy and wellness.
When levels of key sex hormones decline, your metabolism — the rate at which food is converted into energy — slows and the body becomes prone to storing excess fat, particularly around the midsection. Rebalancing your hormones boosts your metabolic rate and helps you build and maintain lean muscle mass, which is essential for sustainable, long-term weight management and fitness.
You may know that low estrogen levels during menopause accelerate bone loss and increase the risk of osteoporosis, but this issue isn’t exclusive to women.
For men, low testosterone can also lead to a loss of bone density: approximately 20% of men over 50 experience a fracture related to osteoporosis. BHRT helps slow the rate of bone loss and promotes new growth, keeping you strong and active for years to come.
Don’t let a hormone imbalance hold you back from achieving your goals this year. Call or click to schedule a consultation at RVA Regenerative Wellness in Midlothian, Virginia, and find out if BHRT is the missing piece in your wellness plan.
