Hormone Balancing


Hormone Balancing with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

At Essence, we believe in a comprehensive approach to wellnessβ€”one that balances both inner health and outer beauty. Hormone health is foundational to well-being for both men and women, affecting everything from mood and energy levels to cognitive function and sleep. Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) program is designed to restore balance and help you feel more like yourself again.

Why Hormone Balancing Matters

Hormones are chemical messengers that play a significant role in your body’s daily functions. Over time, hormonal imbalances can lead to a range of symptoms that affect your quality of life, including fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, mood swings, brain fog, and premature aging of the skin. These changes affect both men and women, impacting confidence, vitality, and overall wellness. 

Beyond managing symptoms, hormone balancing has been shown to support long-term health benefits, such as preventing osteoporosis, reducing cardiovascular disease risk, increasing muscle mass and strength, reducing fat, lowering cholesterol levels, regulating blood sugar, improving memory and cognition, and even reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. By addressing hormonal health, you’re investing in a more vibrant, balanced, and resilient future.

With BHRT, we aim to naturally and gently replenish your hormone levels using bioidentical hormones that closely match those your body produces. This approach allows us to target specific symptoms and address the root causes of hormonal imbalance, ultimately helping you feel more energized, focused, and vibrant.

What to Expect with BHRT

Your BHRT journey at Essence begins with comprehensive lab studies (which are conveniently drawn at Essence) and an in-depth consultation with our ARNP to understand your unique health needs and lifestyle. Through personalized testing and evaluation, we pinpoint the specific hormones in need of adjustment. Based on your symptoms and lab results, we develop a treatment plan that may include hormone replacement along with recommendations for lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and other therapies to support holistic wellness.

Our providers are dedicated to working closely with you, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure optimal results. We understand that every person’s journey is different, and we are here to guide you through every step.

 At Essence, we’re committed to your confidence and well-being, both inside and out. We understand that when you feel your best, you’re able to show up fully in every area of your life.
