Pinpointing the underlying imbalance is key for creating an effective treatment approach.

Many misconceptions still exist around hormone replacement and optimization therapies. Let's separate facts from fiction:
Myth: Taking hormones is unsafe and increases health risks.
Fact: For patients without contraindications, evidence shows properly dosed hormone therapy benefits health biomarkers and reduces disease risk overall.
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Hormones raise heart attack risk in women | Controlled research now debunks this; benefits appear to outweigh risks with proper clinical monitoring |
| Taking testosterone causes aggressive "roid rage" | No correlation demonstrated; research even shows mood stabilization effects |
| Bioidentical hormones are not evidence-based | Numerous studies demonstrate safety & efficacy matching body's natural hormones |
Of course, certain health factors may require cautious consideration before starting hormones. But under an experienced doctor's care, balanced hormone restoration poses little extra risk while providing transformative benefits.

Mental health is indispensable from hormone health. Addressing physiology and biochemistry empowers more vibrant function for body and mind alike.
Cutting-edge longevity research reveals how supporting hormones like growth hormone (GH) and DHEA may slow aspects of aging.
As the body's "youth hormones," GH and DHEA levels peak in our 20s-30s before declining. Benefits of adequate levels include:
Anti-aging clinicians focus on optimizing hormone levels - whether through lifestyle approaches or bioidentical replacement - to promote more healthy, functional years of life.
Progressive doctors now recognize restoring hormones to "prime" ranges can help combat disease and deterioration over time.
We offer state-of-the-art therapies like sermorelin acetate to safely and effectively elevate growth hormone for rejuvenation.
