HORMONE REPLACEMENT

Almost all of us over the age of 40 (and in many cases over 30) begin to experience hormone imbalance. Over our lifetime, we are exposed to environmental and dietary toxins, which contribute to the natural decline of hormones as we age.

Hormonal imbalances can cause a wide array of uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms and may trigger or exacerbate several age-related diseases. Many of these diseases can be prevented and/or made much less severe by proper hormone balance early on.

What are Bio-identical Hormones?

Bio-identical or “natural” hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body.

How do you detect a hormonal imbalance?

Upon your first visit information will be gathered about your history and personal health goals. A full hormone evaluation will be performed to measure your hormone levels and deficiencies. This may include testing blood cells, iron levels, thyroid function, vitamin D, adrenal and sex glands. Hormones can be evaluated through a variety of methods including saliva testing and blood diagnostics. We will then use the results to determine the appropriate treatment plan for balancing your body’s natural chemistry.

Restoring Hormonal Balance

If found that you have a hormonal imbalance, we will create a customized hormone therapy treatment plan for you, which may include bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), to replace the hormones your body is missing, via a cream or oral pill. We may also incorporate supplements to provide your body with optimal support.
