Hormone Replacement Therapy
People have no idea of the role our hormones play in their day-to-day lives. In reality, hormones regulate most of our body systems. When we have an imbalance in our hormones, things can get out of whack. Hormonal imbalance can lead to depression, decreased mental clarity, insomnia, chronic fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and decreased libido among other symptoms.
That’s why we feel balancing your hormones is a critical part of our role at Northwest Women’s Center. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy utilizing pellet insertion. Our BioTE hormone replacement system is a comprehensive approach that addresses the issues mentioned above, but also provides additional health benefits, such as cardiac protection and bone and joint protection.
