We aim to promote balance and harmony within the body. With our holistic approach, we consider lifestyle factors, nutrition, stress management, and individualized therapies to support the body's natural hormones and healing processes. By addressing root causes and supporting the body's innate capacity to heal we offer a more sustainable and long-term approach to achieving optimal health and wellness.

The brain, bones, skin, hair, even liver, kidneys, heart - in fact all tissues in the body benefit from a youthful hormone environment. After menopause, with decreased and unbalanced hormones, women experience unwanted weight gain, hair loss, sleep disturbances, loss of interest in sex, dryness of the mucus membranes all over the body - especially the vagina,- bladder issues, hot flashes, mood swings and all the other ailments of the stage in a woman’s life.
Men have a less dramatic transition, but in later life the dominance of testosterone is replaced by excess estrogen. Men don’t sleep as well, they gain belly fat, breast fat, and become even grumpier. A dab of testosterone promotes muscle growth and fat loss, as well as restoring youthful libido. Performance depends also on good blood circulation, but without hormones it cannot be achieved. We can address circulatory problems too.
Safety issues are always first in mind. Monitoring of natural hormone balance and metabolites makes cancer extremely unlikely, - unlike with patented, synthetic hormones and hormones from other species (Premarin is made from the urine of pregnant mares). Paramount is the proper administration - estrogen should not be given by mouth, progesterone must be given topically or vaginally even if you swallow it in a capsule at
night - they do not function in the same way. We do not offer intradermal pellets -they do not offer flexibility in dosing, and risk scarring and local infections. They do offer convenience at a premium cost, but you must get them elsewhere.
With over 30 years experience prescribing bio identical (natural, same as human hormones but made from plant materials) hormones for women and men, Dr Roberts is an expert in the field. She herself has used these hormones for decades, and finds them life supportive.
If you want the best quality of life then customized hormones should be a part of your life now and forever.
Hormones allow you to “age like a rotisserie chicken - slow, juicy, and hot!”
When faced with a chronic illness of any kind, finding a doctor who understands how to find, and treat, the cause or causes of the illness can be very difficult.
In medical school we learn how to label a set of symptoms. This we call “making a diagnosis”. This can be helpful to give the patient a name for their suffering, which gives a measure of relief that what you have is “real”. Then the established “standard of care” comes into play, and the protocol of drug therapy, surgery and radiation can be deployed.
Rarely is an effort made to determine if this problem stems from poor diet, lack of proper exercise, excessive stress, infections, mold and toxin exposure, or other causes that might be actionable.
Usually the very actions that would have prevented the illness in the first place, are the very things that will roll it back. The body is ready and willing to heal, it has strategies and mechanisms that evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. Why not enlist the healing power of the body, with or without modern drugs?
Second opinions with Dr Roberts can help get you off medications, or, if you must - or choose - to stay on them, give you a roadmap for healing beyond the so called standard of care.
Of course, as in any area of medicine, results are rarely 100%. But the gentler, more supportive treatments that we recommend can be used in a complementary fashion, - with or without “standard of care” treatment. Quality of life is improved, as are outcomes for those open enough to seek them out and do the necessary work. When faced with a serious illness, why not look outside the proverbial box? Dr Roberts can be your guide.
