In order for your body to function at its full potential, it needs to produce sufficient levels of hormones. As you age, production of these hormones declines, and a wide range of symptoms can be a result: 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.
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. By providing hormones that are an exact biochemical match of your own hormones, it is possible to restore your hormones back to the balance you had in your 20’s and 30’s.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is working its way into mainstream America.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body. Numerous studies have been done attesting to the safety of natural hormones for men and women. The natural hormones are almost entirely without the side effects of the synthetic hormone replacement drugs.
Depending on your symptoms and test results, you may be prescribed the bioidentical hormones estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, DHEA, cortisol or melatonin.

Drug manufacturers have created synthetic hormones that attempt to mimic natural hormone function – yet are structurally different enough from natural hormones to be patentable. Such synthetic hormones often produce many desirable effects, but more often than not, also produce undesirable or negative side effects – such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, weight gain and possibly cancer.
Natural hormones possess the identical structure and function as substances created by our bodies – and produce all the desirable effects without any of the undesirable or negative side effects associated with synthetic hormones. We prescribe only bio-identical hormones because of our commitment to your total well being.
