Testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone are all important hormones for women.  Testosterone starts to decline in our 20's.  Estrogen and progesterone decline throughout our 30's and 40's.  Balancing hormones can alleviate symptoms felt during perimenopause or menopause.

Andropause refers to the decline of testosterone in men as they age.  It is the male equivalent of menopause.  Replacing testosterone in men can help maintain lean muscle mass and energy as we age. 

There are several ways to replace hormones and during your consultation we will discuss which form is right for you and your lifestyle.  Options include pellets, creams, pills, etc.
