How does hormone balancing work?
Hormone balancing is focused on getting your hormone levels into the ideal range to make you feel better using natural (bioidentical) hormones that are chemically identical to those made by your body. It’s a more sophisticated approach than standard hormone therapy which seeks only to get you into the normal range whether you feel better or not using synthetic hormones which tend to carry unwanted side effects.
Our hormone balancing program goes beyond hormones, though, and extends to targeted vitamin supplementation. Using the same strategy of aiming for the ideal range of vitamin levels, we ensure that you are maximizing their potential benefits.
If you have symptoms of hormone imbalance, we can help you!
Our program begins with a thorough questionnaire where you rate the severity of your symptoms. This is followed by a detailed bloodwork analysis. Then, we make specific treatment recommendations tailored to your unique situation.
