Hormone Replacement Therapy helps you feel and look your absolute best as you approach menopause!

Your body contains over 50 hormones that coordinate and control various functions, including growth, metabolism, mood, sexual function, and the sleep-wake cycle. Millions of individuals experience symptoms related to hormone imbalances every day and become more vulnerable as they approach middle age. Common symptoms for women include depression or anxiety, digestive problems, diminished libido, fatigue, hot flashes, irregular periods, or unexplained weight gain or weight loss. Men can experience reduced libido, erectile dysfunction (ED), gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue), or a loss of muscle mass. Some hormonal imbalances are only temporary and can be resolved through diet and lifestyle changes, and others are chronic and can negatively affect your quality of life. 

The BHRT process is designed to identify the root cause of these complex conditions and develop a personalized treatment plan to replace hormones that were lost, tailored to your body’s unique chemistry. Bioidentical replacement hormones will be administered through subcutaneous pellets roughly the size of a grain of rice. The pellets will be inserted into the upper buttocks area during an outpatient procedure, and some patients report relief from their symptoms in as few as four weeks. It typically takes up to six months to achieve full hormone optimization and might require additional follow-up visits to adjust hormone levels. Be sure to follow your doctor’s recommendations after beginning BHRT treatment, and let her know immediately if you encounter any unexpected side effects.
