Dr. Christi and her team are certified hormone specialists
Trained by the Hormone Therapy Center of America (HTCA) to help men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance. Women generally experience very distinct symptoms of hormone imbalance. Most of these symptoms can be emotional, non-reproductive and/or reproductive, and can negatively affect your personal life, professional life, self-confidence, self-image and your intimate relationships.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the main hormones affected by menopause, pre-menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause. Men also suffer from hormone imbalance as they age, causing many of the same symptoms that women suffer from. For men, testosterone is the main hormone affected by aging.
Menopause can be associated with decreased ovarian function.
This results in reduced levels of ovarian hormones. Most women experience a 30-60% drop in estrogen during menopause. This decline can lead to hot flashes, night sweats, and rapid heart rates. A decrease in testosterone can lead to mood swings, depression, and decreased sex drive. Pre-menopause, perimenopause, and post menopause can all lead to fluctuations of hormones, which can cause many of these symptoms.
If hormone deficiencies are left untreated, they can lead to increased chances of heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer and diabetes. Some women experience decreased testosterone even before menopause and can benefit from hormone optimization.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
Step 1
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective treatment for hormone imbalance. These hormones are identical to the natural hormones produced in your body.
In order to determine whether or not you're a good candidate for BHRT, our providers will meet with you for an initial consultation to discuss your challenges and goals for treatment.
Step 2
At ChristiMD Med Spa, we utilize HTCA Pellet Therapy for your BHRT treatment. This method uses small, cylinder-shaped bioidentical hormone pellets to correct the hormone imbalances in your body.
Studies have shown these bioidentical hormones have fewer and decreased side effects than synthetic hormones, like those derived from horse urine (Premarin).
Step 3
The implantation of BHRT pellets is a simple and relatively pain-free procedure. Your provider will numb your skin with local anesthesia, and then insert the pellets through a small incision.
The BHRT pellets are also completely customized to meet your needs. Dr. Christi’s team will perform tests to ensure you receive the correct dosage.
