Did you know that 80% of women suffer from some kind of hormonal imbalance?! The implications of these imbalances vary, but the most common imbalance for women to suffer from is a high or low levels of estrogen and progesterone. This can result in a mix of symptoms, including bloating, constipation, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, mood swings, irregular, non-existent, or heavy menstruation, and more. Thyroid issues are also very common hormonal dysfunction that can lead to low en...ergy levels and autoimmune disorders. In men, hormonal imbalances are also regularly associated with symptoms such as night sweats, low (or high) libido, fatigue, or nausea. While most medical doctors will regularly prescribe courses of treatment that simply combat the symptoms, they rarely get to the cause of the true issue at hand. Let us help you get to the root cause and also address any imbalances. Schedule your consultation today.

Over the course of a woman’s life, she may experience several different health concerns. Most commonly, childbirth, active lifestyles, menopause, weight fluctuations or a shift in hormones can lead to loosening of muscles and related concerns that may cause stress incontinence, the pressure (or stress) placed on the bladder causing urinary leakage. This often happens with physical movement. If you’ve ever wondered why you leak urine when you laugh, cough or exercise, that is it is due to stress urinary incontinence. These issues not only affect us physically but, can affect us mentally by limiting our ability to live our best lives. Viveve Solutions is a nonsurgical intimate wellness treatment that can be completed with a 30- 45 minute non-invasive in-office procedure with no downtime.

Our hormones change as we age. Testosterone, the most critical hormone the male body produces, decreases around age 40 and continues to decline by about 1% each year. A normal part of aging, low testosterone (Low-T) can significantly impact the quality of life. In men, hormonal imbalances are also regularly associated with symptoms such as night sweats, low (or high) libido, fatigue, or nausea. While most medical doctors will regularly prescribe courses of treatment that simp...ly combat the symptoms, they rarely get to the cause of the true issue at hand. The good news is that our safe, simple bio-identical hormone therapy can reduce these undesirable symptoms. Schedule your appointment today!
