Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy TURN BACK THE CLOCK ON AGING! NATHAN BERTOLDO, MD, OB/GYN

Valley Women’s Health

As we age many things change. Skin weakens. Hair thins. Weight changes. Muscle decreases. Libido changes. Sleep becomes disrupted. Memory diminishes. Bones weaken. All of these tie to a decrease in our hormonal balance and the function of our endocrine system. Even a small imbalance can cause problems such as menopause for women or andropause (low T) for men. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help balance estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone levels during or near menopause. Many women are shocked when we discuss testosterone as a hormone in which women can become deficient. So many times, it is thought

that estrogen is for women and testosterone is for men. Testosterone is actually the most abundant sex hormone in women just as it is in men. The difference is the level and presence of estrogen compared to men.

decline. Hormone balance plays a critical part in keeping our bodies healthy, fit, and active, but unfortunately, the levels of all of our critical hormones, such as testosterone and growth hormone, drop as we age.

TREAT AGE-RELATED HORMONE DECLINE SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY WITH HORMONE PELLET THERAPY At Women's Health & Aesthetics, we use hormone replacement pellet therapy to treat the debilitating effects of age-related hormone decline. We help patients regain control of their bodies and symptoms that come with changes such as menopause and andropause. The primary issues we treat are hormone imbalances caused by age-related hormone

Bio-identical hormone pellets are one of a few modes to provide hormones to patients. This is our preferred method to treat hormone deficiencies at Women's Health & Aesthetics. This treatment method avoids the many disadvantages of treatment alternatives like messy daily creams or painful weekly injections. We often start with creams, because of the ease of dosing and withdrawing treatment if the patient experiences any unusual side effects.
