HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR HRT?

A MULTIFACETED PLAN FROM THE EXPERTS

We understand that the path to wellness and achieving your health goals is unique for each individual.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is replacing & replenishing the hormones that we lose through normal aging. In women, this aging & adaptive loss of reproductive hormone function is often called menopause. In men this loss of reproductive hormone function is termed andropause.

There are also OTHER hormones that are NOT just reproductive such as thyroid, cortisol & other chemical messengers essential to the body that coordinate health & proper body functions. These all may diminish over age & time. We at PHYSICIAN’S PLAN, coordinate a careful lab, physical exam & age-directed exam to evaluate for these age related losses.

At Physician’s Plan, we restore your balance with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) so you can feel energized, focused, and confident again. Relief starts here.

Tired. Moody. Foggy. If this feels like you, it’s time for a change.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

WHAT IS MENOPAUSE?

Menopause is OVARIAN FAILURE. This is a normal process of female aging as women are supposed to be less fertile with aging to avoid the risks of childbearing as they age. However, we may still wish to maintain the NON-fertile elements of youth such as muscle mass, sexual intercourse, cognitive well-being, etc. So we can supplement their hormones w/o also causing late age-fertility.

WHAT IS ANDROPAUSE?

Andropause is TESTICULAR FAILURE. And likewise this is a normal male aging process as to not father children at an extensive age, but we men also want to enjoy the non-fathering characteristics of hormone well being such as youthful skin, erectile & sexual function, cognition maintenance,

WHO IS THE IDEAL PATIENT?

The ideal HRT patient is a middle- aged man or woman experiencing symptoms of hormone decline, such as fatigue, low energy, or other effects of menopause or andropause. These symptoms often stem from falling testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone levels. The earlier we can begin treatment, the better, as addressing these changes early not only alleviates symptoms but also supports a longer, higher-quality life.
