Treating Your Hormonal Imbalance
Many people unknowingly suffer from hormone imbalance. Imbalanced hormones can cause a host of medical problems and should be dealt with as soon as possible.
We have a variety of options to treat or help, including:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hormone pills, BioTE pellets for Women and Men, and combination therapy.
Changes in lifestyle – such as increased exercise, healthier diet, better sleep, and reduced stress.
Vitamins & supplements – such as vitamin D, calcium, dandelion, melatonin, zinc, and black cohosh.
