Increase your natural hormone production to feel your best
Find symptom relief and balance your hormones to achieve supplemental energy, faster weight loss, and more
When your natural hormone production levels fall out of balance, hormone replacement can help you feel and function more like yourself. Yvette Gonzalez, RN, MSN, FNP-BC, of Sage Wellness and Medspa, is proud to offer personalized hormone replacement therapy to residents of Plantation, Florida, and the surrounding region.
How it works...
Hormone replacement therapy increases your natural hormone production levels with synthetic hormones. This highly individualized process begins with lab testing to determine your current hormone production levels.
There are several ways to administer supplemental hormones, including pills, creams, patches, injections, vaginal rings, and pellets inserted just beneath the surface of your skin. Ms. Gonzales works with you to find the right fit for your needs and explains the pros and cons of various options.
Is treatment right for me?
Hormones act as messengers throughout your body, triggering many functions. You naturally produce all the hormones you need, but over time, that production begins to decline. This can throw your system out of balance, creating numerous symptoms that can be uncomfortable and disruptive. Understanding the signs of hormonal imbalance empowers you to take action.
Some of the signs of hormonal imbalance in men include:
