His unique treatment method is based on prescribing the right kind of hormone (biologically identical), in the correct amounts (determined through testing & proper analysis of the results), using the right delivery system (pellets). Bio-identical hormones are natural, plant-derived compounds that have the same molecular structure as those made by the human body. Unlike synthetics, our bodies can readily recognize and metabolize them.
