Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Hormone health is essential for overall well-being, and both men and women can experience imbalances that impact daily life. Women’s health has evolved beyond the traditional yearly PAP smear and breast exam. Today, the focus is on achieving optimal wellness, empowering individuals to address concerns that were once dismissed as "normal." Symptoms like painful periods, PMS (cravings, mood swings, acne), perimenopausal changes (low libido, hot flashes, brain fog), and male hormone imbalances (low testosterone, fatigue, erectile dysfunction) are now recognized as important indicators of health. Seeking hormone balance is a vital step toward complete wellness.

At your first appointment, Dr. Maxwell conducts a thorough clinical and family history review to understand your unique health concerns and goals.

Once all relevant information is gathered, Dr. Maxwell creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, herbal and nutritional supplementation, and, if appropriate, a discussion of pharmaceutical options. Unlike conventional approaches that rely solely on standard lab ranges, Dr. Maxwell interprets lab results within an optimal range, considering how values interact to provide a more complete picture of your health.

Regular follow-ups ensure continued support, lab monitoring, and adjustments to treatment as needed. Dr. Maxwell combines both conventional and naturopathic approaches, truly listening to your concerns and guiding you toward long-term well-being.

Hormonal imbalances can present in many ways, depending on the specific hormones involved.

Estrogen Dominance: Estrogen levels are too high relative to progesterone due to elevated estrogen, low progesterone, or a combination of both.

• Symptoms: Breast tenderness, irregular cycles, bloating, acne, PMS, headaches, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, hair loss, difficulty conceiving.

Low Estrogen: Common during peri- and post-menopause.

• Symptoms: Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, bone loss, low libido.

High Progesterone: Less common but possible.

• Symptoms: Bloating, fatigue, drowsiness, mood changes.

High Testosterone: Often seen in PCOS, hirsutism, or improper hormone replacement therapy.

• Symptoms: Acne, unwanted facial hair, irregular periods, increased irritability or aggression.

Low Testosterone (Low T) in Men: Affects energy, mood, and overall vitality.

• Symptoms: Low libido, fatigue, weakness, depressed mood, weight gain, reduced muscle mass, erectile dysfunction.

Thyroid & Adrenal Imbalances: These systems directly affect and are influenced by hormones in both men and women.
