Rely on bioidentical hormones to achieve optimal hormonal balance and treat menopause symptoms. As you age, your natural hormone levels change and can become unbalanced, resulting in low libido, vaginal dryness, and overall hormone dysfunction.

What are some common problems that bioidentical hormones can restore?
Every woman experiences menopause a bit differently, but common symptoms that can be relieved by Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Vaginal Dryness
- Mood swings
- Forgetfulness
- Low Libido (Reduced sex drive)
- Weight gain
Pellet Therapy is an advanced, low-maintenance type of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
This is a hormone replacement therapy via tiny pellets implanted just under the surface of your skin. The process takes just a few moments and is virtually painless. You should begin to notice results within 7-10 days, and the pellets continue to release hormones for 3-6 months.
Achieving optimal hormonal balance can address many symptoms, helping you to feel more like yourself as you go through the transition of menopause.
Balanced hormones are necessary for good health.
Hormone pellets release bioidentical hormones into the bloodstream continuously.
Balanced hormones are crucial for good health and disease prevention as we grow older.
Optimal hormone levels protect our bones, brain, breasts, and heart. They also significantly reduce the risk of serious health problems, such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and diabetes.
After we turn 30, most of us produce 3%-10% less of sex hormones each year. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, chances are he or she is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy: difficulty sleeping at night, lack of energy and fatigue during the day, reduced mental focus and memory, moody, anxious or depressed, weight gain, including increased fat around the midsection, inability to lose weight regardless of healthy diet and exercise, decreased muscle strength, muscle and/or joint pain or reduced sexual desire and performance.

Hormones can rejuvenate, regenerate, and restore. They are powerful chemical messengers that circulate throughout the body and travel to specific cells to orchestrate many vital internal functions. But even a small fluctuation in hormone levels can cause big changes at the cellular level—or disrupt the delicate balance throughout your entire body. Too much or too little of a hormone can have serious consequences for your overall health and well-being. Our hormone pellet therapy can help.
