BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY HAS TRANSFORMED LIVES!

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (also known as BHRT) is a means of replacing hormones that are no longer being produced naturally by the body. Not only are we replacing deficient hormones, but we are trying to balance current hormones to eliminate symptoms of menopause and the aging process. The hormones we are working to balance for women are Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone. At Performance Medical Clinic, your evaluation will include a detailed consultation with a Physician, and extensive blood analysis to identify both deficiencies and imbalances. Not only are Bioidentical Hormones extremely effective, they are safer than their pharmaceutical counterparts and other synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormones are the exact chemical structure that your body intended to use.

Keep in mind Bioidentical Hormones are always superior to synthetic, pharmaceutical alternatives.

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES COME IN MULTIPLE FORMS

HORMONE PELLETS

Bio-identical hormone pellets are inserted every 3-4 months in a quick, no-downtime office procedure. As blood flows over the pellets, hormones are gradually absorbed, with release driven by your heart rate. This ensures consistent hormone levels, avoiding the "roller coaster" effect of other therapies.

Key benefits include:

  • Consistency: Steady hormone release reduces fluctuations and improves symptom relief.

  • Convenience: Only requires an in-office procedure every 3 months, no daily or weekly meds.

  • Customization: Dosages can be tailored to individual needs.

  • Absorption: Direct absorption

    into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver and GI system.

  • Control: The body absorbs hormones as needed based on heart rate.

CREAMS

Daily hormone creams, applied to the skin at home, are easy to adjust as hormone needs change. They can also be paused for a few days each month to maintain receptor sensitivity. Multiple hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone) can be combined into one cream for convenience. While easier to apply and less uncomfortable than injections, creams take up to 15 minutes to absorb and may require weeks to show results. Absorption varies by individual, making outcomes harder to predict.

INJECTIONS

Biweekly testosterone injections, often given at home, provide precise dosage control and efficient absorption, leading to faster results and more consistent levels compared to creams. They are relatively painless and help maintain optimal testosterone levels.

LISA T.

I have been going to Performance Medical Clinic for several years now. I have found the ancillary staff exceptionally helpful and quick to assist. Dr. Ambrose has a down to earth approach in finding the best treatment plan. He is a great listener and communicator. I always feel my input is respected and valued, which makes me an integral part of my own treatment. Quite often, I find myself leaving an appointment understanding more specific medical knowledge as it relates to me than when I walked in. I trust his medical prowess, I feel great, and feel much younger than my 71 years!

LAURA C.

Dr. Ambrose is hands down the most knowledgeable MD to help you manage your hormones. I wasted so much time and money with other “hormone specialists” taking a ridiculous amount of supplements, etc. I never knew how much better my energy, sleep, exercise could be until finding Dr Ambrose who quickly dialed in my hormone balance. Thank you for all you do!
