Hormones are very potent controllers of human physiology and deserve considerable respect and great caution in their use. When treating hormonal related causes and symptoms we feel it is important to start from this premise because the actions of most hormones are many and complex. It is all too easy to end up with negative results if hormones are not used carefully. Recently, some of these negative results have been very much in the news, as we have become aware that hormone can cause cancer.

Still, understanding of and proper use of supplementary hormones can greatly improve the health and well being, as well as improve the everyday life, of a great many of us, particularly as we get older. We take the time and make the effort so the patient, as well as the doctor, has that understanding and is an active participant in arriving at the best hormone replacement solutions for them. This approach has proven highly rewarding and beneficial for both patient and doctor.
