If you answer “yes” to
any of the questions below, you will benefit from making an
appointment with us.
Unbalanced hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and
DHEA) in women can lead to fatigue, weight gain, decreased sex
drive, sleep disturbance, fertility problems, mood swings and
hot flashes. In men, decreased testosterone and/or DHEA levels
can lead to fatigue, weight gain and decreased sex drive. These
symptoms are successfully managed by balancing hormones as well
as controlling carbohydrates in order to control insulin and
prevent fat storage. Increased amounts of insulin and fat can
lead to high estrogen levels worsening hormonal imbalance. We
measure and monitor estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and
DHEA levels to ensure that you are getting the right balance
of hormones. We use natural or bio-identical hormones to minimize
the risk of invasive breast cancer, heart disease and stroke
which have been shown to occur with hormone replacement therapy.
