Aging often brings a shift in hormone production. Men tend to experience a gradual decline in testosterone after age 30, while women enter menopause between ages 40 and 50. Both of these lead to a hormonal imbalance, which can have adverse effects on the body, both physically and mentally.

The most common symptoms of hormone imbalance include:

• Sudden weight gain
• Decreased libido
• Low energy
• Difficulty sleeping
  
  

Hormone replacement therapy helps patients feel like themselves again by reversing the negative effects associated with a hormone imbalance. Men and women who undergo hormone replacement experience an improvement in their sexual lifestyle and higher energy levels. Adequate hormone levels lead to increased vitality, better sleep, improved focus, younger-looking skin and weight loss in most patients!

At Garcia Weight Loss & Aesthetic Centers, we offer BioMD Hormone Replacement Therapy. BioMD uses natural hormones that are bio-identical to the ones your body makes. These hormones are administered on a patient-by-patient basis to make sure you are getting exactly what your body needs, and nothing it doesn’t. Our physicians will discuss your specific symptoms, lab results, expectations, and lifestyle to develop a customized plan that will have you feeling your best.

Our convenient program utilizes small pellets (smaller than a tic-tac) inserted under the skin near your hip using a local anesthetic for a nearly painless procedure. These pellets ensure a steady, low-dose level of hormones that avoid the peaks and valleys of other delivery methods. Each pellet lasts from three to six months. Throughout your treatment, your hormone levels will be monitored, and your provider will make adjustments as needed.
