Why Hormone Therapy? //
Because Time Waits For No One...
Hormones are an essential part of our bodies. Hormonal receptors are found throughout the body in all sorts of cells, organs, and tissues. The reduction in hormones that "naturally" occurs in our bodies is a predominant cause of the symptoms we experience, but this process is progressively problematic because a) as a population, we are living longer, and thus our quality of life is poorer for a longer period of time; and b) our hormonal levels are reducing at dramatically younger ages than in the past, largely due to greater amounts of toxin exposures in our environment, which negatively impact our endocrine (hormone) system, causing deficiencies and imbalances. Thus, the need for hormonal therapy is becoming greater and greater.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use my lab results to make a treatment recommendation?
We base all initial dosages on your lab test results, in combination with your symptoms, exam, and medical history.
When you’re low on a hormone, we don’t just boost it into the "normal range" - we take into account the complete testing range, and will raise your therapy until you reach the level where you feel your best.
Do you include any other holistic therapy options?
We offer lifestyle advice and other regenerative medicine products to help support the effectiveness of your hormone therapy, when desired, including amino acid therapy, for example. For many people, what we offer is indeed "holistic", in that we are providing your body the exact hormones that it is insufficient in - we are not treating your body with a new pharmaceutical "medication".
Do you use my health insurance plan?
Health insurance plans do not cover these therapies. However, unlike other similar programs/clinics, we provide you a lab order which you may take to any lab local to you, which will use your insurance plan, to save you lab testing costs.
