Testing Blood and Saliva

The loss or fluctuation of these hormones can cause the above symptoms along with multiple other problems/symptoms. Replacing these hormones to supplement what has been lost is called Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement. Replenishing your hormone levels with bio-identical hormone medications may give you more energy, increased libido, and improved moods and concentration. BHRT utilizes hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces. BHRT is used in men and women for a variety of conditions such as:
