Bio-Identical Hormones

Perimenopause, menopause, and andropause can be life-changing experiences for many women and men. For 15 years, I have been treating patients with both traditional as well as bio-identical hormone therapy and also with non-hormonal symptom relief when appropriate. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment for many common and debilitating symptoms. Some of these symptoms include fatigue, stress, hot flashes, mood disturbance, foggy thinking, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and more. Often, people with symptoms like these are suffering from hormonal imbalance. BHRT is a natural and simple method for correcting these complex issues.

In addition to the above treatment options, we also offer an innovative technology called BioTE®. BioTE® is a time-proven method of bio-identical hormone therapy using patented pellets that are inserted just beneath the skin in the fatty tissue of the hip. I sought out the BioTe training especially for patients that I felt were “falling through the cracks” with the therapies I had to offer, which were especially in the realms of sleep, libido, and sometimes with general well-being.

Beyond addressing symptoms that arise with menopause and andropause, Correcting testosterone in the correct way has shown to be beneficial in improving cardiovascular risk factors, bone health, and breast cancer. As a practitioner, I am committed to providing the best in optimal aging medicine, and I’m confident that this is where our current best research is.

In further good news, we are now working with local labs to do blood tests for lowered out of pocket pricing. If you are over 65 or you have limited insurance coverage, we can now measure your basic and hormone labs at a very manageable rate. Even if you aren’t sure that you want to proceed with hormones, we can measure your levels so that you can decide the best option for you.
