Bio Identical Hormone Replacement

The Ultimate Hormone Tune-up
Are you tired, irritable, depressed, not sleeping well, having hot flashes, night sweats, or a decreased sex drive? If you answered yes to any of those, you may be suffering from a hormonal imbalance, which can affect women of all ages, not just those in menopause. By now you’ve probably heard of Natural Bio-Identical Hormones, but perhaps don’t know what that means. Plain and simple, these are hormones that are biologically identical to those that your body naturally produces. Drs. Webb and Bartels are experts in hormone replacement therapy and specialize in natural bio-identical hormones.

A preferred method for administering these hormones is in the form of small pellets, the size of rice grains, placed painlessly under the skin. This method allows for safer transdermal (through the skin) delivery, which has been repeatedly shown in clinical studies to have fewer adverse side effects compared to oral administration, and lasts for 3-5 months.

Our experience with hormone pellet therapy has demonstrated faster, better, and more complete relief of symptoms when compared to traditional oral hormone replacement therapy.

Pellets have a very high patient satisfaction rating. In fact over 95% of our hormone pellet patients continue with this form of therapy due to the better quality of life and improved sense of well being they enjoy. We invite you to come in and discuss natural bio-identical hormones, an option that is “all the rage” in women’s health, and the topic of many day time news and talk show programs.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment for the symptoms of menopause that is becoming more and more sought after.  Bioidentical hormones have the exact molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced by the body.

Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones
Since drug companies cannot patent a naturally-occurring substance, the synthetic hormones used in traditional hormone replacement therapy are purposely made to be slightly different than the body’s own hormones.  These hormones might include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The benefits of bioidentical hormones over synthetic hormones include:

• Fewer side effects.  Since there are no added ingredients, and because the body can metabolize the bioidentical hormones in the same way it metabolizes the body’s own hormones, unpleasant side effects may be minimized.
• Individualized Approach.  Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, can be compounded according to each woman’s hormone profile, as determined by her physician, so that the lowest effective dose can be utilized.
