Age Management Medicine & Bio Identical Hormones: Reenergize and Revitalize!
Recapture Youth; Achieve Optimum Health.
At AZIA, We focus on Health & Wellness and Anti-Aging Medicine. Much of aging is associated with deficiencies in many substances that our bodies once produced in abundance. Balancing these deficiencies helps you recapture youth and achieve optimum health. Therapy generally begins with the use of bio-identical hormones, nutrients and supplements.
Most women over thirty-five need some form of hormone supplementation, which can include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid. This applies to women who have reached menopause as well as premenopausal women.
Andropause is the male equivalent of menopause. Most men have a subtle hormonal decline. Others, however, actually go through a sudden change in testosterone levels. Optimizing these levels returns much of you former “vim and vigor.”
Symptoms of Menopause and Andropause:
- Cyclical headache
- Insomnia
- Memory problems
- Night sweats
- Lethargic depression
- Hot flashes
- Anxiety
- Rapid, unexpected weight gain
- Red flush on the face
- Irritability
- Lack of Concentration
