Women and men of all ages suffer from the side effects of aging; you’re run down, tired fatigued, irritable and just not feeling like yourself. For women, it’s PMS, perimenopause and menopause, and for men, this comes in the form of andropause (male menopause). Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), is a solution that can help you feel more like yourself again. A proven solution for hot flashes, mood changes, sleep problems, weight issues, muscle loss, hair loss and lack of sex drive associated with hormonal fluctuations, BHRT is a safe, effective treatment with a 70-year track record—and none of the significant risks associated with synthetic hormone replacement.

Derived from yams, the FDA-approved compounds used in BHRT are identical to the

hormones that are found naturally in and recognized by our bodies. These compounds are delivered through small pellets implanted under your skin, and regimens are customized to each individual client based on blood work and a thorough evaluation performed by our anti-aging physician assistant, Kerri Swiggart. Kerri has extensive training and experience with BHRT has improved the lives of several clients already—and you can be one of them!

The goal with hormone pellet replacement therapy in women AND men is to restore our natural hormone balance.

The majority of symptoms that are associated with age related hormone loss are due primarily to testosterone deficiency in BOTH women & men.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Women and Men

FATIGUE, sleep loss, memory loss, mental fog, confusion, depression, irritability, anxiety and mood swings are some of the BRAIN symptoms of low testosterone. There are thousands of receptors for testosterone in the areas of the brain responsible for mood, mental clarity and

memory that are affected as testosterone levels decline with age.

Other symptoms of low testosterone include night sweats, joint pain, bladder symptoms, headaches, low libido, decreased vaginal lubrication in women, decreased ability to maintain and sustain erection in men, and weight gain. Symptoms of estrogen imbalance include hot flashes, vaginal wall thinning and skin related changes such as collagen loss.

Symptoms can begin as early as 30 years of age and are often mis-diagnosed and mis-treated with anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, sleeping pills, adult ADD medications and others!
