BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
Dive into the life-changing advantages of our Hormone Replacement Therapy services, tailor-made to help you regain vitality, find balance, and thrive in every aspect of your life.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Historically, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) primarily focused on supplementing estrogen and progesterone in post-menopausal women. However, the field of anti-aging medicine has expanded, incorporating bioidentical hormone replacement for both genders. This evolution has allowed not just women to experience a rejuvenation in their overall well-being through a more holistic hormone replacement approach, but men as well are now finding that bioidentical hormones offer them a way to rejuvenate their physical and mental states, bringing back the energy, libido, and vitality of their younger years.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy stands out as an effective treatment for the myriad symptoms associated with hormonal decline in both men and women. What makes bioidentical hormones particularly advantageous is their molecular and functional similarity to the body's natural hormones, enhancing their ability to be metabolized and to address imbalances effectively. Through comprehensive hormone evaluations, we are able to devise personalized strategies to help our patients reclaim a youthful zest for life, both physically and emotionally.
“Stabilizing your hormones is among the simplest methods to enhance your well-being. The change my patients undergo through bio-identical hormone therapy exceeds their expectations, providing them with heightened energy, boosted metabolism, and a greater quality of life.”
TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS
Through comprehensive evaluations and advanced testing techniques, we identify specific hormonal shortfalls or discrepancies, devising individualized treatment plans. These strategies can include bioidentical hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing supervision to ensure the best outcomes.
We meticulously monitor your progress, adjusting treatments as necessary, and ensure you have support at every step. Our team focuses on education, helping you understand the benefits and possible considerations of HRT, fostering confidence and empowering informed choices.
WE FOCUS ON YOU
ACHIEVING HORMONE BALANCE
Our aim is to restore hormonal equilibrium, addressing concerns such as fatigue, mood fluctuations, reduced libido, weight fluctuations, and beyond. Throughout this journey, we strive to lead you towards revitalized energy, enhanced mental acuity, better sexual health, and overall vitality.
Bioidentical hormones are formulated to mimic the hormones naturally synthesized by your body. Incorporating bioidentical hormones can provide relief for individuals experiencing symptoms of low or imbalanced hormones, which commonly arise during phases of hormonal fluctuation such as perimenopause and menopause.
BIOIDENTICAL IS BEST
Sex Hormones
Estrogen
Estrogen, a crucial sex hormone, experiences a sharp decline in women during menopause. Without timely initiation of an estrogen replacement program at menopause, women may face rapid aging signs including osteoporosis, cognitive decline, heart disease, muscle mass reduction, decreased skin elasticity and thickness, genital atrophy, and depression. Estrogen replacement therapy can significantly slow down or prevent these signs of accelerated aging post-menopause. Women who undergo estrogen replacement typically exhibit half the degenerative diseases compared to those who do not, and on average, live 3.5 years longer. Our approach involves natural estrogen replacement, where we monitor estradiol levels and tailor dosages to replicate pre-menopausal levels.
Estrogen Imbalance:
Fatigue
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Joint aches
Low libido
Stress incontinence
Recurrent UTIs
Estrogen Replacement:
Alleviates symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness)
Enhances longevity in women
Guards against coronary artery disease
Enhances cognitive function
Aids in the prevention of osteoporosis
Offers protection against Alzheimer’s disease
Enhances the quality of skin and muscle
Progesterone
Progesterone, another vital sex hormone, plays a crucial role in maintaining estrogen balance, making it essential in female hormone replacement therapy, even for women who have undergone a hysterectomy. Additionally, some men may also require progesterone to regulate their hormone levels. Progesterone contributes to increasing bone density, reversing osteoporosis, and promoting fat metabolism. In our female Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, we utilize natural progesterone replacement.
Progesterone Imbalance:
Difficulty sleeping or poor sleep quality
Itchy or restless legs, particularly during the night
Feelings of anxiety, nervousness, irritability, or depression
Intense menstrual periods for women
Bloating, especially around the belly and ankles
Fatigue
Progesterone Replacement:
Acts as a natural mood enhancer and calming agent
Enhances female sexual desire
Offers protection against cancer
Stimulates thyroid function
Assists the body in burning fat instead of storing it
Aids in the prevention of osteoporosis
Testosterone
Optimal health in both men and women requires testosterone. This hormone is essential for sexual desire, muscle strength, body leanness, and overall well-being. During menopause, women experience significantly reduced to undetectable levels of testosterone, leading to a decreased libido and increased body fat. However, libido and mood enhancements can be noticed within days of starting testosterone replacement. Additionally, muscle and bone regrowth can be observed within months, especially when combined with a weight resistance training program.
Testosterone Imbalance
Decreased Libido
Erectile Dysfunction
Fatigue
Loss of muscle definition, mass & strength
Increased need for sleep
Irritability
Memory loss
Weight gain & increased abdominal fat
Testosterone Replacement

Boosts male and female libido
Facilitates a healthy heart
Helps prevent osteoporosis
Increases muscle strength and improves appearance
Improves bone density
Protects against obesity and diabetes
Improves mood, memory and reduces anxiety
Stress Hormones
Cortisol
Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands and is released when we encounter stress, with its regulation managed by the hypothalamus. Our high-stress lifestyles often result in elevated cortisol levels. Continuous release of cortisol can increase blood pressure and deplete energy levels. In the short term, elevated cortisol can cause insulin resistance, weight gain, and lower your resistance to illness and disease. Over the long term, it may result in conditions such as stroke, heart attack, or diabetes.
Cortisol Imbalance
Fatigue
High blood sugar
Insomnia
Inability to fight infection
Decreased memory, reaction time, problem-solving
Feeling burned out
Can’t lose fat even with exercise
Cortisol Replacement:
Increases alertness
Increases energy
Improves mood and ability to handle stress
Improves digestion
Decreases inflammation and pain
Improves immune response
Improves body composition
DHEA
DHEA is secreted by the adrenal glands and starts to decrease at the age of thirty, continuing to decline steadily throughout our lives. In fact, once DHEA levels reach zero, it often coincides with death. DHEA is crucial for reducing cholesterol, maintaining heart health, reducing fat accumulation, and warding off diabetes, arthritis, and cognitive decline. As a vital component of our treatment regimen, we include DHEA and regularly check DHEA sulfate levels to ensure optimal DHEA concentrations in the blood.
DHEA Imbalance
Loss of stamina
Fatigue
Apathy, mental fog or memory loss
Loss of lean muscles around the middle
High blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol
DHEA Replacement
Improves Heart Health
Slows onset or progression of diabetes
Favorably impacts arthritis
Reverses declining mental acuity
Thyroid Hormones
Thyroid hormone is fundamental to our well-being, playing a key role in our body's overall performance. . In conventional medicine, thyroid replacement therapy is typically initiated only when indirect laboratory tests suggest low levels. However, we conduct comprehensive thyroid assessments, which include measuring free thyroid hormone and thyroid antibodies, for a more thorough evaluation.
Thyroid Imbalance
Weight gain and slow metabolism
Fatigue
Cold hands and feet
Chronic constipation
Muscle weakness
Depression
Elevated cholesterol and risk of heart disease
Thyroid Replacement
Controls metabolic rate
Helps with weight maintenance
Improves heart and vascular health
Renews energy
