Hormones are chemical messengers that carry tremendously important messages around the body.  They control the growth and repair of tissues, reproduction, energy levels, mood, protein synthesis, overall vitality, and nearly every aspect of our lives.  As we age, many hormone levels decline. All of this hormonal flux causes significant changes in the body. In women, these changes can occur even while women are still having menstrual cycles.  Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is administered to maintain optimal hormone levels.   

Hormone therapy helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms while reducing the risk of many diseases associated with aging such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and cognitive decline / dementia.  With guided lifestyle modification, careful hormone optimization, and proper medical supervision, many of the signs and symptoms that go along with hormonal loss and aging can be improved, slowed, or even reversed. This leads to improved vitality, energy, mood, and a longer healthspan — the time that you can live with vigor in the way you want.
