At Optimal Hormones & Wellness, we take a functional medicine/integrative medicine approach to balancing your hormones.  As part of this approach, we use compounding pharmacies for many of our medications.  There are numerous advantages to using compounded medication. Compounded medications allow for customized, flexible, and precise dosing.  Compounding pharmacies combine the ingredients in-house to meet the individual patient's needs.  We prescribe bio-identical hormones that  are individualized and not administered as a set and predetermined dose like commercial medications. Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have the exact same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body.
