Louisville Bioidentical Hormones Specialist, Peggy Fishman, M.D. has seen the negative life-altering effects that hormone decline and hormone imbalance have on her patients at the Center for Integrative & Age-Management Medicine.
Bioidentical hormones are different from the more familiar prescribed hormones on the market. Most traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products are synthetic and do not have the same molecular structure of hormones produced by your body.
Blood work is usually done at the lab that contracts with your health insurance, if you have it. If you do not have insurance, we work with several labs that offer reasonable cash pricing for blood work. Saliva testing is the preferred testing method for steroid hormones, including sex hormones and cortisol.
Please bring all of your medications and supplements (bottles) to your first visit for the doctor to review. You will also have an hour long initial follow-up appointment after testing is done.
Your first visit is typically one hour long and will include review of your comprehensive medical history and a physical exam. Then, testing that is targeted to your symptoms and problems will be ordered. Treatment may be initiated at the first visit depending on your clinical situation.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones in General: 1 Restorative towards sleep 2 Less dangerous than synthetic hormone replacement therapy which are known to cause cancers 3 Custom Compounded: Option to have your hormones individually matched and tailored to your blood chemistry and hormones levels 4 Body is able to recognize the hormones as their won and uses them as naturally intended 5 Slows down the aging process!
The effective use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for the relief of symptoms caused by age-related hormone imbalances found in women and men, can optimize and balanced hormones are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being.
Drug manufacturers have created synthetic hormones that attempt to mimic natural hormone function – yet are structurally different enough from natural hormones to be patentable. Such synthetic hormones often produce many desirable effects, but more often than not, also produce undesirable or negative side effects – such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, weight gain and possibly cancer.
In well known medical journals, researchers have reported that the bioidentical hormones, estrogen and testosterone, are not only safe but also have a positive impact on some diseases like osteoporosis and prostate cancer.
Dr. Lori Sweat founded Integrative Hormone Specialists in 2006 upon the realization that the Louisville area was lacking in medical guidance for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which she had come to learn is a foundation to disease prevention, well-aging, and longevity.
A functional medicine approach seeks to solve health issues and prevent disease by fixing biochemistry from the ground up and solving root-cause triggers, avoiding quick pharmaceutical fixes for individual symptoms. Our areas of expertise include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, thyroid and adrenal management, optimizing gut health and nutrition, supporting healthy neurotransmitter balance, integrative cancer risk management, and advanced cardiovascular risk assessment. We also offer IV infusion therapies and a variety of injectable aesthetic procedures. Our approach is holistic and integrative, treating each patient as the unique individual they are to help each one obtain optimal health, well being and aging.
