Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones are entities that carry “messages” related to growth, development, and energy, from glands to cells. When these hormones are in balance, studies show that your body operates at its healthiest and most efficient level. Unfortunately, the levels of the hormones your body needs to function optimally decreases as you age. However, hormone replacement therapy can help bring levels back to optimal concentration. Hormone replacement therapy at Rejuvalife may help you feel more energized, achieve a leaner, stronger physique, stabilize blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increase bone strength, boost memory, improve skin tone, and more..
Since each individual’s hormonal requirements are distinctly different, we begin by evaluating your need for hormone replacement therapy with comprehensive diagnostic testing. Once we determine where hormonal deficiencies exist, Dr. Berger and our team of medical professionals will tailor a hormone replacement therapy plan aimed at helping you look and feel your best.
SYNTHETIC HORMONES vs. BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
Synthetic hormones have traditionally been used in treating the symptoms of menopause in women. While these synthetic hormones are thought to offer some protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, they also have many undesirable side effects. Rather than subject patients to these side effects, we use only bio-identical hormones in our hormone replacement therapy plans. Bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones made by our bodies, and are safer and more effective than synthetic hormones.
HORMONES
We can develop a hormone replacement therapy plan to help you replenish dwindling levels of many hormones:
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
Bio-identical hormones are created with a molecular formula identical to the molecular formula of hormones our bodies make. Some hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone naturally decrease with age, but the use of bio-identical hormones can help restore hormones to the levels that were present in our youth.

ESTROGEN
There are three forms of estrogen present in women--estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Injecting a bio-identical form of these hormones can treat menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, improve psychological well-being, and reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease and osteoporosis. Learn more about estrogen therapy.
PROGESTERONE
Progesterone is a hormone that helps to balance the effects of estrogen. It relieves hormone-related mood swings, deters weight gain, helps restore libido, protects against breast fibrocysts and osteoporosis, and more.
TESTOSTERONE
With age, the hormone responsible for libido, muscle mass, and energy level decreases in both men and women. Restoring testosterone to youthful levels can lead to a healthy sex drive, increased muscle mass, better mental focus, and higher energy level. Learn more about testosterone deficiency and replacement plans.
DIHYDROEPIADOSTERONE (DHEA)
DHEA has a protective effect against age-related illnesses and plays a key role in increasing sexual arousal, mental and physical capacity, bone density, fat-free mass, IGF-1, and insulin sensitivity. DHEA can also improve the lining of the coronary arteries, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease.
PREGNENALONE
Pregnenolone is an important human hormone, as it serves many purposes in the body. As a supplement, pregnenolone improves memory, reduces stress, decreases arthritis inflammation, and improves mood.
THYROID
As you age, thyroid levels can decrease, causing body temperature and metabolism to dip below normal. This deficiency can also contribute to low energy and depression. Fortunately, implementing a thyroid hormone replacement therapy plan to counteract these symptoms is easy and inexpensive.
CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (HCG)
HCG is a hormone produced naturally during pregnancy. Administering the hormone can help stimulate the sex drive.
HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH)
Human growth hormone is key in maintaining a youthful appearance and physical health. An insufficient level of HGH is often associated with the aging process, and can lead to cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis, and decreased immunity. These conditions are reversible with proper HGH hormone replacement therapy. Learn more about human growth hormones (HGH).
MELATONIN
The main function of melatonin is to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. With advancing age, melatonin production often decreases and the natural body rhythm is interrupted by insomnia. At Rejuvalife, we utilize melatonin therapy to provide our patients with more restful sleep, stronger immunity, and reduced stress.
