Increase energy levels
Have you been told that “we’ve checked your blood work, and everything is normal, nothing is wrong”? Low energy levels and chronic fatigue can be a sign of multiple deficits. Hormones play a huge roll in our overall energy level. When you were in your 20’s, your hormone levels were at their optimal and during this time, you felt great with plenty of energy and great endurance. You were typically healthy without heart disease, diabetes or osteoporosis. As you age, your optimal hormone levels drop and with this drop, you see changes that you typically contribute to “I am just getting older”. Come in to see our highly trained staff. Let us work hard for you to help you regain your energy and endurance allowing you to regain your life back.

Healthier Physique and Weight Loss
If you want to drop a few pounds, we offer medical weight loss. With our plan, you can drop up to 30 pounds in 6 weeks. If you have tried losing weight with diet and exercise and have plateaued or it just hasn’t worked for you, it may be due to hormone imbalances.

We also offer a comprehensive body composition analysis utilized to measure the amount of fat surrounding your organs, known as visceral fat. The importance of knowing your visceral fat score helps identify the risk of comorbid conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Benefits for Women
Today’s women prefer natural hormones. In a survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,009 women aged 40 and older, 83% said they would prefer to use hormones that are similar to their own body’s hormones. Bio-identical hormones include estrone (El), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and pregnenolone.
The goals of BHRT therapy include:
Alleviating the symptoms caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones by the body
Giving the protective benefits which were originally provided by naturally occurring hormones
Re-establishing a hormone balance
Every woman is unique. That is why the Pharmacy Solutions compounding specialists work together with patients and prescribers to provide customized BHRT in the best strength and dosage form to meet each woman’s specific needs and minimize the potential for side effects.
Benefits for Men
Men experience a similar decline in hormone levels that women experience when they go through menopause. This is known as andropause in men and this change occurs more slowly starting around the age of 30. Testosterone levels in men typically drop about 1% per year. It is estimated that 40% of men between the ages of 54 and 60 have levels below the lower limit of norm.
These lower levels of testosterone play a critical role in the quality and quantity of life in males. The decline in testosterone levels have been shown to be a risk factor for heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, osteoporosis, and diabetes. The goal of testosterone replacement in men is to bring the levels back into a normal range while managing the symptoms of low testosterone levels.
