What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy uses bioidentical hormones to optimize hormone levels that can drop with age, environmental exposures, or certain conditions. At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Thomas Nabity and Dr. John Santa Ana use only bioidentical hormones, which are chemically the same as the hormones your body makes. Your physician will review the benefits and risks with you.

Are you currently struggling with a loss of energy, lower libido and maybe even weight gain? If so, you could be dealing with hormone deficiencies. At The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, our team of doctors works with both men and women on a daily basis who are interested in hormone replacement therapy. While there are a host of clinics claiming to offer hormone replacement therapy, few have the experience and the knowledge as our two board certified physicians, Dr. Thomas Nabity and Dr. John Santa Ana.

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy for Me?

We’re often asked the question of whether hormone replacement therapy is right for me, and that is a fairly complex question. Some providers may jump at the opportunity to provide you with hormone replacement therapy, but The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine takes a much different approach to our hormone optimization services. Our doctors will only prescribe hormones to patients who can truly benefit from them. We’re doctors first and foremost, which means that we’ll never offer hormone replacement therapy unless it’s beneficial to a patient. This may seem obvious, but we’ve seen some clinics who use hormone replacement therapy as a profit center as opposed to a health tool to combat a series of uncomfortable symptoms, some of which we’ll explain in more detail below.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

There are a whole host of benefits of hormone replacement therapy, a few of which are listed below:

Increases libido
Relieves night sweats and hot flashes
Research-supported
Improve sleep
May help improve mood
Increase energy
Reduce certain symptoms for women after menopause
Personalized treatment plan developed by board certified physicians

Importance of Choosing a Reputable Provider for Hormone Replacement Therapy

It’s critical to think long and hard about the provider you choose when it comes to hormone replacement therapy. Because federal regulations have lagged behind innovation, some clinics offer hormone replacement therapy that don’t share the same level of medical integrity as we possess here at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. Our mission has always been to help improve our patients’ quality of life with careful, individualized care. We’ve seen great benefits from using hormone replacement therapy for a good number of our patients, but hormone replacement therapy is not a one size all procedure.

Why Choose Us for Hormone Therapy?

Physician-led care. Dr. Nabity and Dr. Santa Ana are trained in hormone optimization. Dr. Nabity holds a bioidentical hormone certification and an A4M certification in peptide therapy, and Dr. Santa Ana is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
A careful process. Hormone therapy changes your body’s chemistry, so it needs to be done correctly. We focus on a research-supported evaluation and diagnosis before treatment.
Bioidentical hormones only. Some clinics use synthetic hormones. We use bioidentical hormones and choose the type and dose for your needs.
Individualized care. Hormone therapy can help women and men across many age groups. We sit down with you to decide whether and how hormone optimization is right for you, and we are physician driven, not sales driven.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Nabity is awesome!  He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While  we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

I had a condition that is rarely seen and he did research on his own to make sure that I would receive the proper treatment. He’s very kind and his bedside manner is very spectacular. You can tell he really cares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In an effort to use time at home towards bettering myself, I may have overdid it with the online workouts.   I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Santa Ana quickly and he was able to diagnose me online. His line of questioning showed me he was very knowledgeable and ultimately diagnosed me with a muscle strain which eased my fears. Great bedside manner. I highly recommended to anyone looking for genuine honesty and compassion in their care.

Dr Nabity is a compassionate physician who listens to his clients’ goals and symptoms and strives to return his clients to wellness while minimizing the use of treatments such as cortisone and prescriptions medications which only mask the symptoms.
