Hormone imbalance can start when hormone levels become too high or too low in adolescence, after a baby, or with menopause.

If you have tried a treatment or medication for hormonal problems, are frustrated by incomplete results or side effects, or if you want a more natural approach, then bio-identical hormone therapy may be right for you.

Too little estrogen causes hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and other common menopause-like symptoms. Estrogen excess leads to breast pain, abnormal periods, weight gain and can cause infertility and cancer.

Other sex hormones, progesterone and testosterone, as well as stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA, need to be included for optimal balance.

Once your hormone levels are measured, we create a bio-identical hormone prescription that restores optimal function and balance. These products, identical to the hormones a woman’s body makes, do not have the risks and side effects of pharmaceutical (but not identical) drugs.

A successful treatment plan usually requires balancing lifestyle choices and specific recommendations, including an individualized plan of dietary supplements and nutraceutical herbs.
