Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) consists of using hormone medication that has the exact same molecular structure as the hormones your body natural produces. Some in the medical community refer to these as “bioidentical hormone therapy”. These hormone medications are considered “human identical” – ie your body cannot tell the difference between the hormones you are prescribed and the hormones your body is naturally producing.

HRT prescribed by Nurse Practitioner Arv are made from plants. NP Arv will work with you to determine whether your medication should be taken as oral capsules, drops, troches (lozenges that dissolves under the tongue), applied to the skin as a cream, or inserted as a suppositories.

HRT has become a very popular option for women who want to balance their hormones and don’t want to use synthetic drugs like birth control, Premarin, Provera etc.

As we go through various stages in our life, our hormones fluctuate and eventually begin to decline. Women can struggle to maintain optimal hormone levels during the changes that take place with PMS, infertility, PCOS, perimenopause & menopause.
