What is HRT?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a tool for physicians to help their patients transition thru menopause and address the symptoms of this period in a woman's life. Dr. Winegardner will evaluate the woman's health history, symptoms, and hormone levels to determine how to best balance a woman's hormonal system. The goal is to retain the benefits of youth without doing harm to the woman's overall health.
What is Bio-identical HRT?
Unlike conventional hormone therapy that uses synthetic hormones or animal-based hormones that are different from a woman’s natural hormones, bio-identical hormones are biochemically the same as those made by the ovaries during a woman’s reproductive years. Hormone therapy may not be appropriate for every woman.
Your body's response to stress may be adrenal fatique syndrome. This is where the adrenal gland cannot adequately meet the demands of your body. Cortisol is a product of the adrenal gland and imbalances of this hormone can contribute to such problems as weight gain, elevated blood pressure, immune responses, sleep disturbance, blood sugar imbalances, and various other health problems. Dr. Winegardner is qualified to assist you in identifying and treating this condition.
