Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Physiologically speaking, young and old people are similar, the main difference being the amount of hormones they produce. Hormones in both men and women can decrease up to two percent annually beginning at age 35. As hormone levels decrease, we begin to notice bio-indicative signs of aging.

These signs include:

• Increased body fat
• Increased blood pressure and risk of heart attack
• High cholesterol levels
• Signs of depression
• Loss of libido or sexual performance
• Loss of lean muscle mass
• Cell degeneration
• Slower healing and recovery from exercise and injury
• Loss of memory or concentration
• Sense of diminishing quality of life

At Belaya, your medical concierge will test and evaluate your hormone status. If hormone replacement is indicated, your doctor will tailor a specialized program just for you and closely monitor your progress.

We use only bio-identical (or natural) hormones. The difference between natural hormones and synthetic hormones is their molecular structure. Natural hormones have the identical chemical structure as hormones made by your body. The structural differences that exist between natural and synthetic hormones may be responsible for the side effects that are experienced when synthetic hormones are used for replacement therapy.
