Hormone Replacement Therapy

Considered the most effective treatment for women experiencing menopause and perimenopause, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has seen new treatment applications arise in the last five years and is used by both men and women.

Viewed by some as a panacea, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a form of alternative medicine that can be used to aid in treatment of many conditions such as

Diabetes

Heart health

Impotency

Menopause

Weight loss

Perimenopause

PTSD

Pain Management

Long-term BHRT can decrease your risk for heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer and osteoporosis; you will also see an increase in HDL and a decrease in LDL as well as total cholesterol. This therapy enhances memory, concentration, muscle tone and supports over-all healthy aging.

Each patient receives a specific dose created just for them based on comprehensive diagnostic blood work that determines how best to balance their individual hormonal physiology. BHRT is similar on a molecular level to the body's endogenous hormones. Each individual has different hormonal balancing requirements.

This therapy provides the exact right combination of hormones to balance your body's hormonal levels for your optimal health and wellness.
