Hormone Optimization

Feeling tired? Having trouble losing weight or maintaining muscle mass? Have you noticed changes in libido or energy levels? Hormones play a crucial role in every body system. As we age, changes in production, conversion, and receptor site sensitivity can all impact how we feel and function. Optimizing hormone levels with bioidentical hormones (identical to what your body makes) can increase energy levels, help you maintain a healthy weight, improve sexual function, maintain bone and muscle mass, and improve cognitive function. If you notice any of these issues, hormone optimization could be the answer!

The Treatment

Hormone Optimization includes replacing hormones due to decreased or less effective hormone production. This could be caused by processes such as age, menopause, PCOS, overuse of steroids, etc. Hormone optimization begins with a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner (NP) where a full medical history will be reviewed. If hormone imbalances are suspected, a blood panel is ordered and drawn. The NP makes recommendations based on lab results and symptoms. Our spa only uses bioidentical hormones, meaning they are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. The ultimate goal of Hormone Optimization is to improve your health and wellness, and combat decreased receptor site function. Book your Hormone Optimization consultation today!
