A hormone is an organic chemical substance produced in a location or organ of the body that starts or runs the activity of an organ or a group of cells in numerous parts of the body.  Hormones can affect our actual rate of aging.

Declining hormone levels happen with age.  Symptoms of hormone imbalance can be:  fatigue, mood changes, inability to sleep, anxiety, belly fat, night sweats, facial wrinkles and decreased sexual interest are just a few.  Both men and women can suffer from symptoms of hormonal imbalance. 

Hormones protect against and can reduce the effects of:

Heart disease, stroke, memory loss, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, skin atrophy, depression and mood swings.  Declining levels may cause an increase in disease and the physical deterioration associated with aging.  Many patients are prescribed medication for symptoms that can be reduced or eliminated with hormone replacement therapy.

Hormone replacement therapy is all about balance.  A partnership between the patient and his or her primary care physician will use the latest scientific lab tests and knowledge of symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies to adjust the individualized dosing to maintain balance.

Bioidentical means using only molecules that are endogenous to the human body, and safer.  Conventional hormones are derived from synthetic or animal molecules.
