BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
DISCOVER YOUR NATURAL SOLUTION FOR . . .
HIPS, HOT FLASHES,
AND HARDLY ANY DRIVE
Y
our favorite pair of jeans not
working for you anymore? Your
hot flashes are becoming more
frequent and lasting longer . . .
not to mention . . . you never feel “in the
mood” at all!? Hormone help is on the
way! Throughout life, hormones change.
But when those changes produce these
and other unwanted symptoms, the
physicians at Progressive Medical Center
are here to help! There are many tools in
the belt of integrative medicine to balance
your hormone levels and get you feeling
and functioning like yourself again!
Experience the powerful results
of Bioidentical Hormone
Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Unlike synthetic hormone replacement
therapy, bioidentical hormones are
compounded and tailor-made just for you
and your specific need. The application
of this therapy can come in the form of
creams, orals, gels, pills, patches, sprays,
and even . . . pellets. In fact, many of
our patients have found the pellets to
be extremely effective. These hormone
implants—placed under the skin—
consistently release small, physiologic
doses of hormones, providing optimal
therapy. Pellets are the only method
of hormone therapy that provides
sustained hormone levels throughout
the day, for up to four to six months,
without any “roller coaster” effect.
The source of the
hormone matters!
Bioidentical hormones specifically refer
to hormones synthesized from plants. The
body responds to the natural, plant-based
compounds that resemble the hormones
produced by your own body much
more efficiently without side effects.
You are unique. Your hormone
therapy should be too.
We begin with laboratory tests of
your hormone levels—what we call a
hormone panel. When warranted, we
prescribe a precise dosage of bioidentical
estrogen, testosterone, or DHEA that is
created in a compounding pharmacy to
meet the needs of the individual patient.
Each patient is monitored carefully
through regular follow-up hormone
panels to ensure they achieve symptom
relief at the lowest possible dosage. In
the initial stages, we will test a hormone
panel every three months. Once balance
is restored, we will do one panel a year
at the time of your annual exam.
Take the next step to
feel so much better!
