Bio-Identical Hormones

Bio-identical hormone therapy is the use of compounded replacement hormones similar to the body’s natural production.

Dr. Born has been treating women and men with Bio-identical hormones since 1991.

A hormone laboratory test is performed to determine the patient’s levels and how it is metabolizing. A custom prescription is sent to a compounding pharmacy for production. Ongoing hormone levels are reviewed, and the prescription is adjusted as necessary.

The use of Bio-identical hormone testing helps to better predict if the patient will tolerate the use of hormones. The safety of using Bio-identical hormones is enhanced using this method. Women taking hormone replacement live longer than those who do not.
