Your Executive Health Evaluation opens a window to your particular physiology, from metabolism to endocrine system and beyond.

Hormonal optimization is often an integral part of a DHAI program, helping patients regain a healthy, balanced endocrinologic state so their bodies can function optimally.

That is accomplished safely, using bioidentical hormones, rather than dubious artificial alternatives. Since bioidentical hormones specifically emulate the chemical and molecular structure of the body's naturally produced hormones, the body can metabolize them easily without bothersome and potentially dangerous side effects.

If warranted, we'll focus on reducing insulin and cortisol levels, which promote aging and degenerative disease, then concentrate on supplementing diminished hormone levels.

Delivering methods differ. For example, women typically use testosterone in cream form, while men use the injectable hormone, stimulating hormone or both.

After hormone therapy begins, laboratory markers (including hormone blood levels ) are followed at regularly scheduled intervals with adjustments to ensure effectiveness, safety and appropriate levels, at the upper percentile norm for your age.
