BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY

for Men and Women Will Nourish your Body’s Natural Function To Renew, Restore and Prolong Life.

Misconception Of Hormones

Hormones are more than ‘feel good’ messengers. Hormones affect every organ and function of your body from your brain, heart, lungs, bones, disease susceptibility and immunity. When they wain or drop never to return, you experience the frustrating health issues of aging.

What Exactly Are Bioidentical Hormones?

From a physiological perspective, bio-identical hormones derived from natural plant sources are identical to those that the body produces for itself, in the right proportions. When we are “replacing” the body’s hormone, we feel it makes more sense to use entities which the body recognizes as its own, rather than hormones from horses, imbalanced versions or overly potent synthetic versions. The hormones we use are mainly estradiol (E2), estriol(E3), progesterone (Pg), Testosterone (T) and DHEA.

It is a natural phenomenon for these hormone messengers to wain and ebb and eventually shut down as we experience the normal vicissitudes of life…aging, injury, grief, stress, overeating, genetics, inactivity, chemical exposure inside and outside our bodies.

These HORMONE DISRUPTORS rob every aspect of vitality in our bodies and we age rapidly. No energy, low sex drive, poor memory, erratic moods, depression, aches and pain. Disease states begin to erode our health in every organ when bio hormones fail.

This is where Bioidentical Hormones make a profound difference in your quality and quantity of life.

Why Hormones Are The Best

A Bioidentical hormone mimics the chemical messengers naturally occurring in your body from birth through your maturity into adulthood. As we age hormones precipitously fall. Replacement bios are immediately recognizable to your hormone receptors.

Pellet Therapy

Pellet therapy involves the insertion of small, bioidentical hormone pellets beneath the skin, typically every 3–4 months for women and every 6 months for men. These pellets release a steady, consistent dose of hormones over time, helping to avoid the peaks and crashes that can occur with other methods. This option is often preferred by patients seeking convenience and stable symptom control without the need for daily or weekly dosing.

This is How We Do Bio Hormones

Your first appointment at our clinic you are thoroughly interviewed and assessed by our staff, then examined by Dr. Foley who determines if you and he agree you are a good candidate for hormone replacement.
We begin the journey together by having your blood drawn by our phlebotomist at our clinic.
Once your lab results are returned your physician, Dr. Foley, will diagnose SUBOPTIMAL and below HEALTHY LEVEL hormones and other contributory nutrients and vitamins.
You will be notified by Dr. Foley’s hormone assistant of Dr. Foley’s assessment.
You and she will discuss your history and plan to restore and replace your deficiencies.
Dr. Foley will prescribe prescriptions to replace only what is low or missing. Follow up testing in the following weeks and months will assure that OPTIMAL levels are achieved.

These Prescription Bio hormones mimic your God-designed hormones. They are natural chemical messengers easily recognized by your body’s regulating receptors, much like the familiar key to your home.
They are not synthetic drugs or skeleton keys!

THE FEMALE PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE: The Gradual Phasing Out of the Nourishing Female Hormones we call P-E-T

Bi-Est & Progesterone Cream

The Keys to Feminine Youth

WOMEN have the options of creams or lozenges of estrogen and testosterone hormones depending on their individual absorption, convenience, and level of deficiency. These safe, gentle, fragrance-free creams are rubbed into the inner thigh or inner arm for one minute in the am. If a lozenge is preferred, it is dissolved under the tongue in the am. The effects are subtle yet profound over the following days and months!

Progesterone

Progesterone

PROGESTERONE is provided in a cream and/or capsule form taken usually in the early evening and bedtime depending on symptoms and testing results.

The Nourishing male hormone Testosterone is replaced by 4 methods:

What Age Do Hormones Drop?

THE NORMAL HORMONE AGING TIMELINE

FACT: You are never too young or too old to have hormone issues, but the usual age of onset of hormone decline is in the 30-35 age range. Each decade thereafter marks a milestone in gradual hormone decline or shut down in both men and women and the ensuing heartache of rapid aging. No one is exempt from this decline in life-enhancing hormones and nutrients. It is a part of the aging cycle of humans called senescence.

HORMONE DISRUPTORS: The chemical plague from birth to death. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE HORMONE BALANCE WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION PERVASIVE ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS. WE SPECIALIZE IN MAKING PATIENTS AWARE OF THESE ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERSONAL CARE HORMONE DISRUPTORS.

THE HORMONE PYRAMID. From the tip top to the bottom- the hormones are a symphony of messengers that interact with other pro-hormone nutrients and positive lifestyle changes that are incorporated into your hormone program to restore, replenish and renew your body functions to a healthy, optimal level.
