What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medically supervised treatment that restores optimal hormone levels in individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances due to aging, menopause, andropause, or other health conditions. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play vital roles in regulating mood, metabolism, energy, and sexual health.
Using bioidentical hormones—chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body—HRT helps to minimize symptoms of hormone decline while reducing the risk of age-related health issues. With tailored treatment plans, patients can achieve improved vitality, emotional stability, and overall wellness.
