Bio-identical Hormones are man made and derived from plants that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among those most commonly replicated and used in treatment.
BHRT can balance deficiencies and is a natural/safest alternative to synthetic medication. Hormones control most of your basic bodily functions serving as an internal communication system between your cells throughout the entire body.
Ponder this thought: A doctor wouldn’t treat high blood pressure without checking your blood pressure, nor would your cholesterol be treated without a blood test to find out first if the medication was even needed. Your doctor is always going to check your blood sugar if you have the diagnosis of diabetes. However, to check your sex hormones, most physicians will tell you—- “You don’t need to have them checked; what you are experiencing is just part of aging.”
I choose not to be the typical provider. I choose to assist my patients to restore energy and passion back into their life that most people desperately want.
