Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is a natural and safe way to achieve hormone balance. Both men and women can benefit from natural hormone replacement therapy. Bio-identical hormones are used to relieve symptoms of menopause, andropause, hysterectomies, and hyperthyroidism, as well as similar hormone imbalances when exercise and a good diet are not enough. Hormone levels fluctuate throughout life causing imbalances to occur at different times which can cause many life impacting symptoms such as:
* Fatigue
* Disturbed sleep
* Irritability
* Osteoporosis
* Heart disease
* Reduced libido
* Weight gain
* Sexual dysfunction
* Common symptoms of menopause
* Loss of muscle mass
* Headaches and migraines
* Infertility
* Memory loss
If you are ready to start feeling lively and vibrant again, call or email about scheduling a consultation with our hormone specialist, Becky Bell, or start by signing up for our free monthly seminar to learn about hormone deficiencies and how bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can start you on the road to a healthier life.
