What are Bio-Identical hormones?

​

Bio-identical hormones are hormones that are plant derived and are identical to the structure of the natural hormones found in our bodies.  Bio-identical hormones are compounded at special compounding pharmacies into different forms of application. Because they are identical to the structure of hormones found in the body, adverse side effects and risks for cancer and heart disease are significantly reduced.

Why don’t most doctors prescribe Bio-Identical hormones?

​

Traditional doctors don’t usually have the time or resources to seek expertise in Bio-Identical hormones. This is a specialized field, just as a cancer patient would go see an oncologist a patient desiring BHRT should seek treatment from a physician that specializes in this field. Dr. Faler, has extensive training in Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, Anti-Aging Medicine, and treatment for Adrenal Fatigue.

What are the benefits of using Bio-Identical hormones?​

​

For women suffering from the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, Bio-Identical hormones can alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, memory loss, mood swings, weight gain, and low libido.  For men experiencing andropause (male menopause), Bio-Identical hormones can help with weight gain, decreased libido, fatigue, stress, low energy, loss of muscle mass, and increased body fat.

What are the side effects of using Bio-Identical hormones?​

​

There are few side effects because Bio-Identical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones made naturally by the body.  If the dosage of hormone is too high, side effects can occur.  We closely monitor each patient to ensure proper hormone dosage.
