Do you not feel like your normal self? Are you struggling with change in mood, weight fluctuations, or depleting energy levels? Have you been told this is a normal process of aging or are unsure where to begin to address these concerns? Welcome to Optimal Health & Wellness where we seek to find the root cause of these changes & treat accordingly.
Commonly, these symptoms are related to hormone shifts that naturally occur as we age but we do not have to accept that this is a new reality or be passive to these imbalances. Bioidentical hormone replacement can be a safe & effective solution for you. These are biologically identical to those produced by your body. By finding the right balance, we can help you attain your highest functioning state.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We provide highly individualized care, working closely with our patients to develop personalized treatment plans. We won’t give you a standardized strategy but one that’s tailored to your unique needs. We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both men and women.
Please see below for additional benefits, information regarding our methods, and educational resources.
With HRT injections, we are able to change the dosage based on how you are responding to hormone replacement therapy. Regular checks to make sure you are getting the right dosage also means we can monitor and evaluate both your hormone levels and your general well-being.
Pellets are compounded estradiol or testosterone that are made from organic plant materials, which have the exact molecular structure of those hormones found in the body. They are pressed into a solid compound that is about the size of a cooked grain of rice. Using a painless office procedure, they are inserted under the skin in the hip area. The pellets release small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream over a period of 3 Months.
A research study published in 2002 by The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) promoted poorly conclusive findings that suggested there is an increased risk for breast cancer & heart disease associated with hormone replacement. This misinformation & further medical misinterpretation has resulted in limited use of HRT by providers & fear among patients. This has ultimately had a negative impact on women’s health and their opportunity to adequately treat hormone imbalances. Fast forward two decades to the present, there has been an influx of research with improved quality and statistical significance that has disputed those original findings & more is understood about the safety & benefits of hormone replacement. Despite this new data, our traditional medical model has not yet applied these findings into practice. We believe that healthcare should reflect the most recent & highest quality evidence to guide our plan of care. With this considered, hormone replacement has been proven to provide effective management of symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause & can mitigate risk of other age-related illnesses. As with any medical treatment, review of individual risk factors and benefits should be considered. During your office visit, your provider will review your health history, symptoms and lab work and will work with you to help determine if hormone replacement therapy is right for you.
