Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) plays a crucial role in supporting adults' overall health and wellbeing, particularly as they navigate hormonal changes associated with aging. Hormones are vital chemical messengers that regulate numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, energy levels, and reproductive health. As individuals age, hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, decreased libido, and cognitive decline.

How can I get my hormones evaluated?

  • Track Your Symptoms

    Make note of your bothersome symptoms, when you first noticed them, and approaches you’ve tried that have helped (or not). Our intake forms are a great place for you to explain how you’ve been feeling.

  • Work with Experts

    Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns and any timing or special instructions that should be considered when planning your evaluation.

  • Get Hormone Testing

    We conduct the most comprehensive blood lab testing most of our patients have ever had, most commonly collected conveniently in our offices (but other arrangements are available for those out of area). Lab reviews & treatment recommendations are commonly scheduled within the same week of the lab draw.
