Hormone and Peptide Therapy

WHAT IS HORMONE THERAPY?

Hormone therapy is the treatment of symptoms or disease with synthetic or naturally-derived hormones. When the body produces too little of a particular hormone, hormone replacement therapy is necessary to replenish stores and maintain natural production levels.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the natural option for hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources and designed to be structurally identical to the hormones produced naturally by the human body.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are an exact structural match to your own hormones. This feature allows the supplemented hormones to fit perfectly into your body's hormone receptors thereby reducing possible side effects and increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. Efficacy and outcomes are further improved when hormone pellet therapy is the method of delivery.

HORMONE PELLET THERAPY

Hormone pellet therapy is the preferred method of hormone replacement therapy because of its convenience and efficacy. When compared to other delivery methods, natural hormone pellet therapy offers numerous benefits including:

• Convenient: Hormone pellets are inserted under the top layer of skin during a short, routine visit. Replacement is required just two to four times per year. No more hassling with daily pills or messy creams and gels.
• Better bioavailability: Hormone pellets are absorbed through cardiac output, mimicking your body's natural pathway for delivery.
• Natural release: Hormone pellets slowly dissolve releasing just the right amount of hormone to support your body's needs. You achieve steady, optimal dosing throughout each treatment cycle compared to injections, pills, creams, or gels.
• Fewer side effects with bioidentical hormones designed to be structurally identical to the hormones made naturally by your body. This means your body can easily adapt to the supplement, improving the speed of treatment and effectiveness without fear of side effects commonly associated with non-bioidentical hormone therapies.

TESTOSTERONE HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Testosterone therapy is effective for symptoms of hormone imbalance in men and women. Though commonly believed to be the 'male hormone,' testosterone is extremely important to female health and well-being.

Testosterone plays a role in healthy weight management, brain function, cardiovascular health, as well as sexual function and desire. Low levels of testosterone in women or men can lead to undesirable symptoms making even simple daily tasks seem unbearable. Low testosterone can cause you to feel sluggish and tired all the time, as well as impact your focus, memory, muscle definition and libido.

Testosterone hormone therapy effectively treats low testosterone in men and women.

ESTROGEN HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Many of the symptoms that affect women with hormonal imbalance are related to drops in estrogen. Low estrogen levels in women can contribute to low libido, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

Estrogen replacement therapy is an effective treatment for estrogen imbalance. In many cases, bioidentical estrogen therapy paired with bioidentical progesterone and bioidentical testosterone supports complete symptom relief and helps reduce risk of disease.

THYROID HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Symptoms of a thyroid disorder, like an intolerance to heat or cold, unexplained weight gain or loss, low energy and a sluggish metabolism, can put women at greater risk of other diseases, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.
