Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) helps restore hormonal balance by supplementing hormones that decline due to aging or medical conditions. We specialize in Bioidentical HRT, which uses hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body naturally produces. Forms include oral (capsules/tablets), sublingual, topical creams, and injectables.
Symptoms may include:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Fatigue
Unexplained weight gain
Mood swings
Difficulty concentrating or insomnia
Decreased sex drive
Vaginal dryness
Fibrocystic breast changes
Urinary issues
Men may experience:
Fatigue
Poor concentration
Loss of muscle strength
Reduced sex drive
Erectile dysfunction
Mood changes or irritability
Sleep problems
Bone density loss and increased risks of heart disease
Women may benefit from:
Reduced menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood disturbances)
Better sleep and energy
Improved sexual health, bone density, skin quality, and overall quality of life
Men may experience:
Increased energy, strength, and libido
Enhanced mood and cognitive focus
Improved erectile function
Retained muscle mass and bone health
Lowered cardiovascular risk
Getting started is easy:
Book a consultation to discuss symptoms and review medical history.
If appropriate, hormone levels are evaluated through lab testing.
A personalized bioidentical hormone protocol is developed—choosing appropriate formulations, dosages, and delivery method.
Regular follow-up visits (every 6–8 weeks in early treatment) help optimize effectiveness.
When prescribed and monitored by licensed professionals, bioidentical HRT can be safe and effective. We focus on restoring hormones to levels typical in younger, healthy individuals—adjusting doses as needed to minimize side effects.
Yes—balancing hormones may support skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health. HRT can complement your dermatology or anti-aging treatments for enhanced results.
Ideal candidates include:
Women experiencing menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms
Men facing symptoms of low testosterone (andropause)
Individuals concerned about bone health, mood, energy, or sexual wellness
Patients with diagnosed hormone imbalances and interest in personalized, bioidentical therapy
Initial relief from symptoms may begin within a few weeks.
Ongoing follow-ups every 6–8 weeks to adjust dosing.
Regular lab tests to ensure hormone levels remain optimal and safe.
Schedule a consultation for medical assessment and goals evaluation
Formulate a personalized protocol based on your needs (energy, cognitive support, anti-aging)
Begin treatment under professional supervision with ongoing monitoring and adjustments
