Bio-Identical Hormones
Hormones play a particularly vital role in females. Hormone issues seem to be much more apparent in women than in men. For example, an imbalance of women’s hormones can contribute to endometriosis, early menopause, weight gain, fatigue, PMS, low libido, and other hormonal issues. If you suffer from any of these or suspect something is out of balance, Real Health bio-identical hormone therapy can help. Visit our Women's Hormone page for more info.

Hormones are critical in providing proper body function and balance. When hormones levels are off, hormone therapy is used to restore balance. Bio-identical hormones are an identical equivalent to the body’s natural hormones. Synthetic hormones are different and have more side effects as well as complications that do not occur with bio-identical therapies.
Because signs and symptoms of low hormones often overlap with symptoms of other illness, imbalanced hormones may go undetected. Some signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance include sexual dysfunction or reduced libido, decreased energy, change in mood, increase/decrease in body hair, weight loss or gain, and body changes.
At Real Health, we will test your levels, provide treatment, and perform frequent monitoring to ensure your hormones are in balance, improving your health. Contact our office and find out if bio-identical hormone therapy is right for you!
