Bioidentical hormones are an all-natural way to restore and balance your hormone levels. Traditionally prescribed hormone replacement medications consist of chemically derived or animal-derived hormones, given in excessive doses to what the body naturally produces. The therapy is not limited to hormones but also vitamin supplementation, counseling on diet, caffeine intake, and sleep habits.
After taking a thorough history and physical and addressing treatment goals, blood work as well as a saliva test is taken to get an accurate hormonal profile and to see what deficiencies need to be addressed.
Women who are perimenopausal or in menopause may benefit from hormone replacement therapy as their levels of estrogen and progesterone are diminished.
