Set free from the uncomfortable symptoms of hormonal imbalance

Restore Balance and Regain your Vitality

Your hormones control a variety of functions that is important to your body’s natural processes. An imbalance in them can affect your overall wellness and your vitality. If you are constantly feeling fatigued, not having the energy to do the things you love, or just not feeling like yourself, your hormones could be responsible for these changes. 

As our body ages, it loses its ability to produce hormones that help us maintain our youthfulness. Unbalanced hormones combined with a stressful lifestyle can lead to many uncomfortable symptoms. 

Our solution? Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT is a treatment plan that helps you balance your hormones by using plant-derived hormones identical to yours! 

If you are ready to live your best life and be your rejuvenated, balanced self, ask our  Dr. Smaldone, Myrtle Beach’s hormone expert if Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is right for you.
