I use Azani Medical for my hormone replacement therapy. After two years with a doctor specializing in hormone therapy, Azani is a good replacement and a cost savings!

My experience with Dr. Gavin has been overwhelmingly positive. She’s warm and personable and I feel heard and understood. Through working with Dr. Gavin, I now feel more educated and in control of my hormonal health and confident that I am receiving the care I need. I am grateful for this practice!

For several years I have been seeing Dr. Monica Gavin for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), having bloodwork and reviews every six months, and have been extremely happy with her, the treatment, and her staff. Likewise, I have been a Botox/Dysport client and have always been happy with the professionalism and results.

Hot flashes, loss of libido, restless nights. Are all women destined to experience these symptoms associated with menopause? And what about men, do they experience a change of life as well?
The truth is, the human body was originally designed to reproduce offspring, but then die shortly thereafter. With people generally living longer—sometimes well into their 90s and 100s—the quality of life issues have now come to the forefront.
Hormone replacement does not just mean estrogen and progesterone for menopausal women. It means replacing all hormones: testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, cortisol, thyroid, etcetera, in both men and women. Unlike synthetic hormones, intentionally designed to be different so drug companies can patent them, bio-identical hormones are developed in a lab to produce an exact match for the hormone being replaced.
The bulk of the studies on BHRT has been conducted in Europe. They confirm that with proper administration such as transdermal estradiol; there is a reduced risk of cardiovascular events, decreased risk of cancer, and a decreased rate of osteoporosis. The studies also confirm the upside of treatment—a noticeable improvement in the quality of life.
“Men are truly suffering, just like women, but they do it quietly,” explains Dr. Gavin. “I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from helping my male patients. They feel ignored and when they have a medical practitioner in their corner, they truly feel heard, and have their concerns taken seriously. They don’t get the standard, ‘Well, you’re just getting old.’”
It’s a fact of life that as we age all of our hormone levels decline. We don’t just have to accept it and do nothing. “Suzanne Sommers does a wonderful job explaining all of this in her book Ageless, which in my opinion, everyone should read,” says Gavin.
The goal of anti-aging medicine is to remain as vital and healthy as we possibly can by replacing all of our hormones to normal youthful levels—the levels we had when we were in our 30s.
