Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
We offer men and women an alternative approach to managing the aging process through BHRT. Bioidentical hormones are designed to precisely match the molecular structures of the natural hormones in your body. Hormone levels naturally decline with age. By restoring deficiencies and optimizing levels, you can live life to the fullest.
What Does BHRT Help With?
BHRT may also help to prevent diseases including:
-
Cardiovascular Disease (heart attacks and strokes)
-
Cholesterol Abnormalities
-
Osteoporosis
-
Alzheimer’s Dementia
-
Type II Diabetes & Other Insulin Resistance Syndromes
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Chronic Pain Syndrome
Kephart Integrative Medicine is accepting patients who desire BHRT and genetic testing via telemedicine. The professional service includes a virtual consultation, daily email support, access to simple hormones education website, laboratory/genetic testing interpretation, and a personalized treatment plan including medication/supplement recommendations.
