Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. As we age, hormone levels decline causing undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can restore optimal levels, alleviating symptoms and promoting better health.

We create customized treatment plans with FDA-approved bioidentical hormones tailored to your unique needs.

Estrogen levels plummet during perimenopause and menopause. Low estrogen causes hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal atrophy, bone loss and other unwelcome impacts. We prescribe customized estrogen replacement matched to your deficiency level such as:

Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy each month and then helps maintain pregnancy. Declining progesterone can cause irregular menstrual bleeding and PMS-like symptoms. Our protocols can include:
Testosterone regulates libido, muscle mass, energy, stamina, and cognition. Testosterone levels fall about 1% yearly after age 30. Low testosterone (Low T) severely impacts quality of life. We offer:
Dosing is personalized then fine-tuned based on follow-up blood testing to optimize your testosterone level.
We also prescribe bioidentical DHEA and melatonin tailored to correct your deficiencies. These vital hormones regulate mood, sleep, immune function and metabolism.
We can further customize your protocol with optimal nutritional IV therapy vitamins to boost results.
Hormone levels fluctuate, so it’s crucial to recheck them periodically and adjust dosing accordingly. We monitor your symptoms along with hormone blood and saliva tests every 3 to 6 months. This enables modifying your bioidentical hormones to keep your levels balanced optimally.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking. More research is needed to determine if there are differences in their risks and benefits.

Hormone changes occur gradually, so people often chalk up symptoms like fatigue, weight gain and low libido to “normal aging”. However, restoring waning hormones to optimal levels can dramatically improve energy, mood, sleep and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Therefore, if you’ve noticed unwelcome changes, don’t delay! Making an appointment to get tested is the critical first step. Our advanced body composition screening and lab work accurately determine if hormone imbalance is the culprit.
We also identify any nutritional deficiencies that may exacerbate symptoms. Then we develop a personalized treatment plan suited to your needs combining bioidentical hormones, nutritional IV therapy and diet/lifestyle recommendations.
Addressing low hormones promptly, rather than waiting years can enhance and extend quality of life and vigor. So partner with our supportive staff to determine if BHRT is right for you. Our goal is to help you feel your best at any age!
