Welcome
At times in your life, you may be faced with symptoms that conventional medicine does not address well. Symptoms of peri-menopause and andropause can be confusing and can come on slowly, making their way into your life without you realizing what is happening.

Testing
Tests are tailored to each individual’s particular situation.
State of the art testing is important and is used extensively to help to evaluate many of the symptoms patients are struggling with. Sex hormones levels and growth hormone levels can decline, or become imbalanced, at any time in one's life leading to many symptoms associated with peri-menopause, menopause, andropause and generalized health and wellness decline.
Optimum thyroid and adrenal function are a key to our energy levels and our ability to cope with stress and healing. Beyond this, cardiovascular and cancer risk factors which may run in families can be extensively analyzed and corrected proactively. For those who need it, sophisticated nutritional analysis of vitamin, mineral, fatty acids and anti-oxidant levels , amino acid levels, fatty acids and organic acids may give us key information what your body is actually absorbing , using and lacking nutritionally.
Remember, it is not what we are taking but what we are getting that really matters.
