Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, growth hormone, DHEA, pregnenolone, thyroid, and cortisol are responsible for so many functions in the body.  As we age levels of certain hormones decline like estrogen or testosterone, and fluctuations can occur which can lead to symptom development.  

I have found hormone “replacement” to be of great value to people suffering from hormone related deficiencies. This includes women going through peri and post menopause, and men going through andropause (the time when testosterone declines and age related symptoms develop).  It’s always important to discuss symptoms and quality of life, and the risks vs benefits of taking sex hormones.  

The thyroid gland can produce too little (hypothyroid) or too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroid), so checking thyroid function on blood work is also recommended.

Here are my specialties in regards to hormone support:

  • Bio-identical hormones for peri and post-menopausal women (estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, testosterone, etc.)

  • Testosterone, and other testosterone supportive therapies for men

  • Peptide therapies to support hormone balance, metabolism, and anti-aging (i.e. healthy aging)
