Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical Hormones are Natural hormones. Medically, natural hormones means that it has the same chemical structure with the hormones we are naturally making in our body. And because it is identical to our body’s natural hormone, BHRT acts to efficiently replace what the body lacks and create a balanced hormonal response with no undesirable side effects.
It is different from Synthetic hormones that we usually buy at pharmacies (usually over the counter hormones). These synthetic hormones do not have the same chemical structure as the natural hormones the human body is born with. Therefore, they give incomplete messages to our cells which fail to produce a balanced hormonal response that results to its many reported undesirable side effects.

BHRT is very different from the regular hormone treatment that we know as the latter are synthetic hormones.

BHRT when given at the precise and customized dose based on your measured hormonal levels is very safe.

IV Therapies
All of our cells use vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants continuously to create energy for all cellular and bodily processes. A nutritional deficiency at the basic cellular level sets the stage for the development of fatigue or disease.
Many diseases are the result of prolonged and advanced nutritional imbalance, so the key is to address the problem at the root by replenishing these vitamins and minerals. An ounce of Early preventative treatment is definitely worth more than a pound of cure!
If you have been dealing with a chronic fatigue or illness, your immune, endocrine (hormonal), and hepatic systems (elimination of toxins) are likely severely depleted of nutrients and overtaxed. Taking oral supplements will likely not be enough to compensate for your accumulated deficit (or it may take too long). IV nutritional therapy delivers high doses of vitamins, minerals and other essential elements directly into the bloodstream and into the very cells that most need help, thus giving a quick boost and closing the existing nutritional deficit.
