Why Hormone Restoration?
Studies have shown that balanced hormones are essential for good health and disease prevention as we age. With age comes the decline of hormone production by the organs in the body. Replacement of hormones helps to maintain the health of the body's organs while effectively treating numerous symptoms.
The bioidentical hormones we use are exactly identical to the hormones your body makes. Just as vitamins and minerals decline with age, the organs in women and men alike produce declining levels of hormones — including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, growth hormone, melatonin, DHEA, and brain hormones. Without replacement, our brain, bones, heart, vessels, joints, skin, mood, and quality of life decline more rapidly.
Naturally Processed Hormones
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are exactly identical in molecular structure to the hormones made in your body. They are compounded from yam and soy by removing and adding extra molecules so they are recognized by your cells and tissues as your own — just like human insulin instead of pork insulin.
Synthetic hormones have extra molecules which are not recognized by the body. They are not broken down by our body's enzymes and may stay in the body for long periods of time. Bioidentical hormones, by contrast, are processed naturally and safely by your body's own systems.
The Process
How Are They Used?
Bioidentical hormones are compounded by prescription only. Healthcare providers evaluate hormone requirements through clinical symptoms and blood or saliva tests. The prescription is tailored to the exact amount of each hormone needed for the individual's balance.

BHRT for Men & Women
About BHRT Pellets
Pellets are the most natural way to deliver bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in both men and women. Pellets are placed through a small incision under the skin where they deliver a consistent release of hormone levels over an extended period of time, typically 3–6 months. This means only 2–4 visits to the medical office per year.
The procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes, and most people are comfortable resuming daily activities immediately after their appointment. Best of all, your dosage is customized based on your labs.
No pills, patches, or user error — just a simple injection
Derived from natural plant sources, chemically identical to your hormones
Proven results for both men and women with age-related issues
A single pellet lasts months — hormones present 24 hours a day
No "roller coaster" effect — consistent hormone levels throughout the day that raise and lower themselves naturally
Bio-identical hormones have been used in Europe for over 60 years. Studies show they are both safe and effective, protecting against heart disease, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, and mental decline. At precise doses that exactly replace your body's deficiency, there are no known side effects.
