Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormones are naturally-produced chemicals that regulate your body's functions such as energy, growth, sex, and most importantly, WEIGHT LOSS. Regulated hormones play an important role in your body's ability to lose and maintain weight loss.

As we age our hormone levels decline, which contributes to our decline. As a result of this, we gain weight, lose muscle and have less interest in sexual activity. Our bones become brittle and our minds do not work as well as they used to. For the best quality of life we need to keep these hormone levels at healthy levels.

Your hormones control everything!  Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, insulin, thyroid, cortisol and vitamin D (yes, it's a hormone!) are chemical messages that tell other body parts, like a gland or an organ what to do. 

At Performance Medicine we use natural, bio-identical hormone pellets. We test the hormone levels and restore to optimal balance if they are low.

Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy is an attempt to "replace" some of the natural hormones in your body that have declined as a result of peri-menopause.  One of the differences between the natural vs. the synthetic hormones is that the natural hormones are "bio-identical", meaning they are exactly the same as what your body produces.
