Appropriately prescribed menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help you feel more youthful by addressing various symptoms and health concerns associated with menopause:

1. Avoid Post-Menopausal Weight Gain: The best way to avoid weight gain is to prevent it! There are many causes for weight gain during menopause, by mitigating large fluctuations in hormones during this crucial time we can reduce the likelihood of weight gain.
2. Alleviation of Menopausal Symptoms: HRT effectively reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, leading to improved energy levels and overall well-being. ‍
3. Enhanced Skin Health: Estrogen therapy can improve skin hydration, thickness, and elasticity, contributing to a more youthful appearance. ‍
4. Improved Mood and Cognitive Function: By stabilizing hormone levels, HRT may help reduce mood swings and support cognitive functions, helping you feel more mentally sharp. ‍
5. Increased Libido and Sexual Comfort: HRT can alleviate vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse, enhancing sexual health and intimacy. ‍
6. Bone Density Maintenance: Estrogen therapy helps prevent bone loss, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and related fractures, thereby supporting an active lifestyle.
7. ‍Cardiovascular Health Support: Starting HRT early in menopause may offer cardiovascular benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart disease.

‍

By addressing these areas, HRT can contribute to a renewed sense of vitality and well-being during the menopausal transition.

Postponing care can lead to unmanaged symptoms and increase the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Early menopause is associated with adverse effects on cognition, mood, cardiovascular, bone, and sexual health.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones are typically synthesized from plant sources and are designed to replicate the molecular structure of endogenous hormones. The hormones used in BHRT include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and are available in various forms such as pills, patches, creams, gels, and injections.

Understanding your body's specific allergic responses is crucial for optimal health. We offer both IgE-mediated allergy tests, such as serum antibody and skin prick testing, to detect immediate allergic reactions, and IgG-mediated sensitivity tests to identify delayed food sensitivities. These evaluations help us tailor personalized strategies to manage and mitigate allergy-related symptoms.
