Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing undesirable symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical hormones can help alleviate symptoms and promote better health.

Bioidentical hormones derived from plants can provide relief from menopausal symptoms, yet scientific evidence on their long-term safety is inconclusive since high-quality clinical trials have not established definitive benefits and risks compared to conventional hormone therapy.
We specialize in custom-blended bioidentical hormones to suit each patient's physiology and goals. Precise proportions of active ingredients like progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, and estriol are mixed in our on-site pharmacy. Ongoing adjustments provide optimal hormonal balance.
Hormone levels fluctuate so it's crucial to periodically recheck them via blood analysis. We determine if and when to tweak dosages so patients consistently feel their best on therapy.
Manchester gets quite dreary in winter when shorter daylight hours exacerbate fatigue and melancholy. The long cold season and chilly rains can worsen menopause or andropause symptoms. We find patients do best starting hormone replacement in late summer or early fall. Come spring, most see vast improvements in energy, mood, sexual health, mental clarity, and additional areas.

Common FAQs: - How long is treatment needed? Continued therapy maintains benefits; any cessation brings recurrence of deficiency symptoms. - Is therapy safe long-term? Yes, when properly monitored as we do. - When do patients see improvements? Most feel significant relief around the 3 month mark as optimized hormone levels stabilize.
