Our Vision

We believe in treating people, not diseases. We believe in looking beyond the diagnosis to uncover the unique biology of each person. We believe that different people will respond differently to various therapies. We believe in exploring all angles until favorable results are achieved in an individual. We believe in the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship.

Our Approach

We help patients who do not have enough hormones. They have run out or are low enough in their levels to have adverse health effects.

Patients with hormonal imbalance problems and normal levels usually do not need hormone therapy (BHRT). They need to clean up their diets (it is known that the chemical structure of human estrogens can change based on a person’s diet), exercise, stop bad habits, improve their hormone detoxification systems such as their liver and the CYP 450 superfamily of enzymes, and possibly take hormone modulators like  phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, and some vitamins.

Patients with hormone levels low enough to cause symptoms and problems such as those related to osteoporosis and/or its prevention, and who desire to be treated, are considered for natural Hormone Replacement Therapy.

People should not have too little hormones, and they should not have too much hormones. They should have enough to do the work to keep them healthy.

We determine if there is a need for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, and then develop a customized strategy.

We also always look to administer the smallest doses that achieve the goals.

The effective use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for the relief of symptoms caused by age-related hormone imbalances found in women and men, can optimize and balanced hormones are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being. By providing hormones that are an exact biochemical match of your own hormones, it is possible to restore your hormones back to the balance you had in your 20′s and 30′s.

Although Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is an age old remedy, many doctors and their patients are just learning of this option. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is in the forefront of anti-aging treatment and for many doctors the newest method for helping cure much that ails the menopausal woman as well as the andropausal male. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is working its way into mainstream America.

What are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body. Numerous studies have been done attesting to the safety of natural hormones for men and women. The natural hormones are almost entirely without the side effects of the synthetic hormone replacement drugs.

Depending on your symptoms and test results, you may be prescribed the bioidentical hormones estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, DHEA, cortisol or melatonin.

Our mission is to relieve human suffering and help human beings realize their best overall potential by providing superior health maintenance and enhancement, disease prevention as well as treatment of illness using a comprehensive, integrative structure rooted in both alternative and mainstream medicine.
