HORMONE THERAPY

Restore your hormones to youthful levels that improve your health.

What are the advantages of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

The hormone levels in our bodies decline as we age. By having hormone replacement therapy, your hormones are restored to more youthful levels resulting in more energy, a sharper memory, stronger bones, a healthier heart, and a more youthful glow.

Each formula is customized to your unique individual physiology with dosage based on hormone panels that we closely monitor.

At Green Circle Wellness, we use Bioidentical hormones, made from natural plant botanicals. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces, and studies have shown that they are safer compared to synthetic versions.

We offer bioidentical hormone therapy from our clinic in Chicago's West Loop, with care led by our medical providers. It's for adults dealing with menopause, low testosterone, thyroid or adrenal symptoms. Your first step is a New Patient Consultation, available in person or by video or phone; from there we order the right hormone panels and build a personalised plan, reviewed at each follow-up.

We use Hormone Therapy to remedy a variety of ailments experienced by both women and men:

Relieve Menopause Symptoms

Almost all women over 40 start to experience hormone imbalance. Bioidentical hormones offer an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy and are a way to relieve menopause symptoms.

Through comprehensive lab testing and an in-depth questionnaire, we balance your hormones to relieve your symptoms.

Testosterone Replacement for Women

When testosterone is at low levels, women often complain of mental confusion, weight gain, and poor muscle tone — even with regular exercise. The musculoskeletal system is also adversely affected by the loss of testosterone as in imbalance can lean to muscle atrophy, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and pain in the muscles and joints.

Studies have shown that testosterone hormone therapy can provide a woman with mental clarity, increased libido, and muscle tone and mass.

Estrogen Replacement for Women

Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Studies have shown that, without hormone replacement therapy, the loss of estrogen puts you at increased risk for premature ovary failure, osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, tooth loss, impaired vision, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Increasing estrogen levels reduces these symptoms and even improves mood as it increases the amount of serotonin available in the spaces between the brain’s nerve cells.

Testosterone Replacement for Men

Studies have shown that men begin losing testosterone at a rate of 3% to 10% per year beginning at age 30. Symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men include fatigue, lack of mental acuity, loss of libido, and difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection.

Restore your testosterone levels with Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy that gives sustained and consistent testosterone levels throughout the day.
