Our patients come to us
because they want to feel better, look better and improve their
quality of life. Common complaints include weight gain, memory
loss, dull hair and skin, fatigue, depression, stress, sleep
deprivation, sexual dysfunction and mood swings. Some patients
simply say they just “don’t feel like themselves.”
In order to address these, and other
concerns, we offer individualized treatment plans for each
patient through:
· Hormone Deficiencies Analysis
· Vitamin and Nutrient Deficiencies Analysis
· Vitamins compounded for each patient
· Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) means that
the chemical makeup of the replacement hormone is exactly the
same as what the human body produces. The ideal substances for
hormone replacement therapy are readily available. Bio-identical
plant-derived estrogen and progesterone products have been
safely prescribed by European physicians for over 50 years.
These natural hormones are almost entirely without the side
effects of the synthetic or semisynthetic HRT drugs which do not
allow a person to produce the full range of other hormones which
are needed for the body to function at full potential.
Unfortunately, many doctors are unaware of these natural
bio-identical hormones. Since natural hormones can not be
patented, manufacturers lack financial incentive to fund
research and development costs to commercially market these
substances,. And physicians receive little information on
bio-identical progesterone, estriol, estrabiol, estrone, and
andgrogens.
Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated
with synthetic hormones, and are searching for safer
alternatives. New research is continually emerging. Over two
million women are now benefiting from “plant-derived
bio-identical” estrogens, progesterone, and androgens.
Various dosage forms can be compounded to meet the specific
needs of each woman, including:
·
Transdermal or transmucosal dosage forms
such as gels, troches or suppositories. Non-oral
absorption avoids fist pass liver metabolism, providing
a more reliable extent of absorption which is
independent of liver function.
·
Capsules containing micronized particles for
enhanced oral absorption.
·
Many unique formulations to meet each
woman’s specific needs.
