The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's stress response, often becomes dysregulated in individuals with PTSD. This dysregulation can lead to abnormal cortisol levels, disrupted sleep patterns, increased inflammation, and heightened anxiety responses. BAHI therapy addresses these underlying physiological imbalances through hormone optimization, which may include thyroid hormone regulation, cortisol management, and other hormonal therapies tailored to each patient's specific needs.
By optimizing hormone levels and supporting healthy brain chemistry, BAHI therapy can help reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and emotional reactivity. This approach works synergistically with other treatment modalities to provide comprehensive care that addresses the root causes of PTSD rather than just managing symptoms.
