Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Treatment (BHRT)
in South Florida

We meet so many women who work hard to maintain a high quality of life through wellness-focused habits. From caring for their skin, to keeping up with exercise regimens, to eating well, women do a lot to keep themselves healthy and vibrant. But some issues can’t be prevented by lifestyle choices alone. Sometimes, bodies simply change and women are left wondering how they can retain a youthful feeling as elements of their vitality seem to be slipping through their fingers.

If you’ve felt like your moods are increasingly poor or unpredictable, your once-healthy libido is now low or even nonexistent, your intimate life is now unsatisfying or uncomfortable, or you can’t seem to lose weight, no matter how hard you work, you may be suffering from a drop in hormones. Hormones serve as messengers within the body, sending signals to different systems and affecting how cells and organs function. With fewer hormones present to send those signals, your body’s functions will gradually begin to change.

Although it’s natural for women to go through menopause in middle age—which typically results in a massive decrease in the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—symptoms related to hormonal changes can appear both long before and long after menopause. Women who undergo surgical menopause (removal of the ovaries) at any age may also experience severe and sudden symptoms of hormone deficiency, and it’s surprisingly common for heathy women in their 30’s to experience a decline in hormones that can impact wellness.
