Hormone Optimization
We firmly believe that achieving and maintaining hormone balance throughout life is the cornerstone of leading a vibrant and healthy life. Today, a multitude of factors, including genetics, diet, environmental stressors, toxins, and the natural aging process, are causing hormone imbalances and deficiencies to manifest at increasingly early stages of life. These imbalances can give rise to a broad spectrum of symptoms, affecting individuals from their teenage years onward.
As we age and our hormone levels decline, our overall quality of life tends to diminish, and our risks for cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological conditions rise. To address these deficiencies, we offer a safe and effective hormone replacement solution. By restoring hormone balance and optimization, we can significantly impact every facet of your health and enhance your overall quality of life for both women and men.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment approach that utilizes hormones with an identical molecular structure to those naturally occurring in the human body to address hormone imbalances and deficiencies. It's essential to distinguish BHRT from conventional and older hormone replacement methods. Traditional hormone replacement relies on hormones derived from animals and synthetic hormones that resemble, but are not identical to, human hormones.
Consequently, BHRT is metabolized and processed in a manner consistent with our natural hormones. In contrast, traditional hormone replacement undergoes a distinct processing, leading to different safety profiles and side effects.
What makes us unique is our commitment to not only enhancing a patient's quality of life and alleviating symptoms but also optimizing cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological benefits. We prioritize a deep understanding of the intricate nuances associated with various hormone delivery methods to ensure that patients receive the maximum benefit from each treatment. Our approach is firmly grounded in evidence-based medicine, supported by peer-reviewed medical journals. Ilona received her certification in Advanced Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy by WorldLink Medical and the Academy of Preventative and Innovative Medicine.
Thyroid Treatment
The thyroid gland produces hormones that impact various processes in the body and nearly all cell types. Ensuring proper and optimal thyroid function is crucial for overall health and quality of life. Like all essential hormones, thyroid levels decrease as we age leading to thyroid insufficiency or hypothyroidism. Additionally, receptor sites may become insensitive.which can effect symptoms. Optimizing thyroid function can lead to a significant improvement in both symptoms and overall quality of life.

Nutrition, Nutrigenomics, and Gut Health
Nutrition is fundamental to health, providing the essential nutrients that our bodies require to function effectively. However, it is important to recognize that each individual has unique nutritional needs, shaped by factors such as age, gender, health status, genetics, and lifestyle. This necessitates a personalized approach to dietary choices for optimal health and well-being.
Through comprehensive history-taking and the integration of laboratory tests, diagnostic assessments, and nutrigenomic analysis, we tailor your dietary plan, supplementation regimen, and lifestyle modifications to align perfectly with your unique requirements and goals.
Nutrigenomic testing is a cutting-edge approach to understanding how an individual's genetic variations affect the way their body processes nutrients. This includes understanding how nutrients are absorbed, delivered, metabolized, and eliminated on a cellular level. By identifying specific genetic markers and weaknesses, the results provides specific nutritional, supplemental and lifestyle recommendations to address a patient's unique deficiencies. This is another tool in personalizing medicine to achieve optimal health and overall well-being based on your own unique genetic profile.
The gut biome, a complex community of microorganisms residing in the digestive system, plays a crucial role in various bodily functions beyond digestion. It interacts with the immune system, influences mental and neurological health through the gut-brain axis, and affects metabolic processes. Understanding and addressing your gut is an important contributor to your overall health and well-being.
