Dr. Phil Roberts, M.D. – Balanced Life and Health in Franklin, TN
Medicine is entering into a new era.
At Balanced Life and Health, we believe health care will be increasingly based upon hormonal control which brings us to the very core of human health. The body contains more than one hundred different types of hormones that pour into the bloodstream at the rate of thousands of billions of units per day.
Hormones perform many important functions in your body, from regulating your heartbeat and your breathing, to putting you to sleep at night and waking you in the morning. They also control your blood pressure, build bone, maintain muscle tone, lubricate your joints, soothe pain and stimulate your brain and your immune system. And this is only a partial list of what these tiny titans do.
The bottom line is that hormones are crucial to every single function of the human body. We can’t live without them.
But sadly, over the course of a lifetime we’re exposed to a multitude of environmental and dietary toxins that take their toll on our bodies. And in conjunction with the normal aging process, these toxins contribute to a natural decline of hormones. Genetic and lifestyle choices such as dietary intake, physical activity (or lack thereof) as well as personal habits also have a role to play in how well your body functions as you experience the aging process.
Thankfully now however, there is an alternative to hormonal decline. You don’t have to suffer. There is a better way.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
At Balanced Life and Health, we offer you a natural approach to hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones – hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones made in the body, are being hailed as the new “fountain of youth,” and a better way to resist the aging process.
Bioidentical hormones are made in a natural way from natural plant extracts. BHRT is often called “natural hormone therapy” because bioidentical hormones act in the body just like the natural hormones we produce.
And because each person responds according to their unique physiology, at Balanced Life and Health we have found that we obtain the best results when treatment is customized to the individual needs of the patient. It’s also important to understand that while BHRT works well for some, others need more support — or different kinds of support — to get the same relief.
At Balanced Life and Health We Offer You:
- A comprehensive review and analysis of symptoms, medical, family and personal history
- Individualized testing (saliva, urine and/or blood laboratory analysis)
