Kaysville, UT
As a woman ages and reaches perimenopause, then transitions into menopause, female hormone production slows down dramatically. This can result in frustrating hot flashes, sleeplessness, mood swings, weight gain, decreased skin tone and tightness, vaginal changes (such and laxity and painful sex), and even urinary incontinence.
Women and their doctors often begin rushing into hormone therapy to treat the symptoms of menopause. But many health experts and menopausal women are concerned with the adverse effects of this hormone supplementation and are turning to alternatives that are believed to be much safer. This interest in a more natural approach to hormone therapy has lead to the development of “bioidentical hormones”. Similarly men who are experiencing the hormone declines of getting older may experience “Low T” and other hormone issues with symptoms that include: decreased stamina and energy, low sex drive, depression, hot flashes, loss of muscle mass and mood swings.
At Silkey Skin MD, Dr. Silkey offers Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy that is much more than just prescribing pills. She offers a customized hormone replacement treatment program that is a comprehensive health plan of action. This ensures that you receive the specific, individualized bioidentical hormones that are right for your unique needs. We not only test for and treat hormone imbalances, but we also test for and treat Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, Grave’s disease, Addison’s disease, and other endocrine autoimmune type diseases as well. If you live in the greater Salt Lake City area and are a woman bothered by the symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, or a man who is suffering from “Low T” type symptoms, schedule a consultation at Silkey Skin MD in Kaysville, UT. Dr. Silkey will help you turn back the clock with more safe and natural bioidentical hormones.
At Silkey Skin MD our Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy treatment program is a comprehensive health plan of action. This is not just labs, a quick exam and a prescription. Dr. Silkey performs a comprehensive personal history, a full physical exam, complete laboratory data analysis, body composition analysis, and integrative treatment recommendations, including any prescriptions needed. By doing this, you and Dr. Silkey are addressing your overall health, not just one issue. She is a firm believer in treating the root cause of the issues rather than chasing your symptoms.
Our fee also includes a full nutritional plan including dietary recommendations based on your preferences and health goals. Dr. Silkey has advanced training in therapeutic nutritional medicine and provides a complete program based on your goals, preferences and exam above. Bio-identical hormones alone will not rejuvenate your health without a comprehensive plan that includes dietary recommendations and a comprehensive exercise plan. This is a problem with “low-T” and “anti-aging” clinics.
Do not worry if you have medical problems or physical restrictions. This is medical fitness. It is designed for either someone with medical issues or someone who values a comprehensive plan with their specific goals in mind. Dr. Silkey tailors this program for her patients who have medical issues (knee issues, asthma, obesity, etc.) who would like to ease into an exercise plan, as well as her patients who are elite athletes who would like to ramp up his/her/their training. Please note, your medical history and lab results from a comprehensive hormone panel will be analyzed before any treatment recommendations can be given.
The treatment plan is developed based on your symptoms, blood work, any medical conditions present, and goals of hormone therapy. The autonomy of our patients is one of our biggest priorities, so you and Dr. Silkey will discuss the path YOU would like to take in regards to your own health as well. Lab testing, physical exams, and evaluation will be performed on an ongoing basis to determine if adjustments are needed to optimize your results. Additionally, as a patient here at Silkey Skin MD, we are always available to you should you have any questions along the way on the road to rejuvenated life!
