Hormone Replacement Therapy
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Lower hormone levels are a natural part of growing older. Your body becomes less efficient and more vulnerable to wear and tear.
You may notice that you start to feel more fatigued. It is also common to have trouble losing weight or maintaining muscle mass.
As you age, your body reduces the production of specific hormones. Men tend to experience a gradual reduction in testosterone production after the age of 30. After the age of 40, women typically experience low estrogen levels.
Our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provides a way to address hormonal issues. HRT allows us to address hormone imbalances and deficiencies in men and women of all ages. We can help restore normal hormone function and alleviate symptoms associated with aging.

BIOIDENTICAL HRT FOR LOW TESTOSTERONE
As men age, their bodies naturally produce less testosterone. This hormone is responsible for many of the characteristics associated with male vitality, including muscle development and sex drive.
After the age of 30 or 40, you may notice that it is difficult to maintain muscle mass. It is also common to experience reduced libido.
Luckily, bioidentical HRT may provide a treatment for these issues. By restoring natural testosterone levels, men can continue to live to the fullest.
Of course, age is not the only possible cause of low testosterone levels. Other lifestyle factors and health conditions can limit the production of the hormone. These issues include: Obesity, Diabetes , Chronic illnesses, Metabolic disorders, and Excess estrogen.

BIOIDENTICAL HRT FOR MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS
Women often use HRT to deal with the symptoms of menopause. This process typically starts in the late 40s or early 50s. However, some women start to notice the signs of menopause in their 30s or early 40s.
Menopause is a natural process. Unfortunately, the symptoms related to this process can interfere with your daily routine.
The most common signs of menopause include chills, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood changes, thinning hair, and weakened metabolism. Many of these symptoms occur due to a decreased production of estrogen.
Bioidentical HRT helps reduce the severity of menopause symptoms by supplying the body with more estrogen. This is most effective for women who detect the signs of menopause early.
Doctors may recommend HRT for women who experience moderate or severe hot flashes. You may also qualify for HRT if you have lost bone mass or stopped having periods before the age of 40.
If you experience early menopause, HRT may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis or heart disease after the age of 45. As you age, the benefits of HRT for menopause decrease.
