Hormone Therapy

All of us begin to experience hormone imbalances as we age- it’s completely natural. While many of us begin to feel the symptoms of these changes in our 40’s, some of us may be effected earlier or even later in life. These symptoms are typically written off as the classic conditions of aging. The good news is- you can take control of the way you age! Working with a highly trained Physician these symptoms are easily correctable, bringing your hormones back in balance to work toward optimal health and wellness. Loosely defined, bioidentical hormones are synthesized drugs delivered in various formats, and that are identical in molecular structure to hormones found in your body in natural form. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is considered a more “natural” approach to treatment as they act in the body just the same as the natural hormones we produce. They are not altered in form, are typically compounded by private compounding pharmacies, or available in FDA-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturers.
