Menopause Hormone Therapy in Collingwood

Our life expectancy is higher than ever before, and women spend much of their lives without estrogen and progesterone in their post-menopausal years.  Both have benefits to supporting our health and from time to time, using bio-identical hormones can be of use.  BioIdentical hormone products (including progesterone and estrogen cream, suppositories, capsules) are most often made from yam and are much weaker than their synthetic counterparts.  They are considered bio-identical to our physiological hormones and ease the symptoms of this normal part of aging. 

 

Our intention is to bolster fading levels of hormones to manage symptoms of low hormones and promote optimal health.  This strategy is helpful for patients that don't respond to herbs, supplements, and other natural hormone balancing remedies.  Every prescription is customized to your unique needs and sent to a compounding pharmacy.

** Please Note: at this time we do not offer testosterone, DHEA or cortisol replacement therapies with BHRT - we address these deficiencies through nutritional and botanical products**
