Many people resign themselves to living with the serious symptoms caused by hormone imbalance, accepting them as an unchangeable and an untreatable part of the aging process. However, maintaining optimum levels of hormones promotes an improved quality of life and prevents many of the degenerative illnesses commonly associated with aging.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural way to replace diminishing hormone levels that occur as we age. It is used to help treat a wide variety of symptoms caused by menopause, perimenopause, premature aging, osteoporosis and post-menopause. A wide range of symptoms can include: hot flashes, weight gain, lack of sexual interest – just to name a few. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is used to bring these hormonal levels to balance.
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by our bodies. They are extracted from Wild Yam in the laboratory. Synthetic hormones are synthesized in a laboratory and do not have an identical structure to the hormones our bodies naturally create.
As bioidentical hormones mimic the hormones that our body produces naturally, the side-effects often associated with synthetic hormones are drastically reduced if not eliminated completely. The doses of bioidentical hormones are also individualized based on deficiencies found via testing, whereas synthetic hormones tend to be a “one size fits all” dose.
The effective use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for the relief of symptoms caused by age-related hormone imbalances found in women and men, can optimize and balanced hormones are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being. It is used to help treat symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, premature aging, osteoporosis and post-menopause.
Why should you use bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones have been successfully used by men and women for decades.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is really the cornerstone of anti-aging medicine. Since hormones affect every cell in the body you get real results not just a quick fix.
We utilize laboratory testing as well as detailed health history to assess what hormones to recommend. Tailoring hormones to a woman’s needs is an art, and it can take up to a few months to find exactly the right dosage/combination. We typically utilize blood testing, but also have access to urine testing and salivary testing.
We partner with compounding pharmacies that we trust and know use the best quality substrates and delivery methods to provide men and women with optimal results.
