Hormone Replacement Therapy

For women, as women age, the body will naturally begin to produce fewer hormones. Women will typically see a drop in production in the early 30s. Most will see a huge drop in estrogen and progesterone during menopause.

The sex hormones progesterone, estrogen and testosterone play a key factor in how the body functions. When there is an imbalance of one or more hormones, the body will experience significant problems.

As for men, testosterone is the primary sex hormone. This hormone helps men maintain proper bone density, sex drive, sperm production, muscle mass and strength, regular fat distribution, and a healthy growth of facial and body hair.
