Hormone Optimization

Custom Compounded Bioidentical Hormones

Book Appointment

Hormonal changes bring unique challenges over time

  • Your periods should not be painful, heavy, or irregular.
  • Your libido should not be low or non-existent.
  • You should not be having hot flashes or night sweats.
  • Even if you’ve been told your hormones are ‘normal,’ that doesn’t mean they are optimal for your health.

Benefits of Natural Hormone Optimization

Natural therapies, like bioidentical hormones, herbs, and nutrition, work WITH your body to optimize your health.

Bioidentical hormones are exactly like the hormones produced in your body. Your cells easily recognize and utilize them – without the unwanted risks of synthetic hormones.

If using bioidentical hormones as part of your treatment, we customize the hormone prescription to be safe and effective for you. They can be formulated as pills, creams, gels, or pellets to perfectly match your needs.

Patient Results

"Desert Wellness Center, Dr Lussier, and her team changed my life or more like gave me back my life! I am 57 yrs old and most think I am in my early 40s and honestly I feel better and am in better shape than I was in my 20s. And I might add, I sleep like a baby and most women my age suffer from poor sleep. Thanks to DWC hormone, thyroid, and vitamin support, not to mention the entire staff is so friendly and highly professional! I cannot say enough about this team of healthcare providers!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Lussier and her staff at the Desert Wellness Center. They take time with you to understand holistically what is causing your issues. If you're suffering from fatigue and think it's due to stress or too much work, please go see them and get your hormone levels checked. Dr. Lussier reads lab results better than any doctor I've had, and will help you! Her recommendations have led to my losing 20 pounds and having my energy back. Life changing results that I'm forever grateful for and only wish I had gone to see them sooner."

Frequently Asked Questions

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a form of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are identical on a molecular level to the hormones naturally produced in your body. These hormones are different from synthetic hormones that are used in conventional prescriptions. The goal of BHRT is to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
At Desert Wellness Center, we can prescribe estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones. Depending on your lab results and symptoms, we may prescribe a combination of these hormones.
Pellet therapy is one form of BHRT. It involves implanting hormone-containing pellets under the skin for a slow and steady release. At Desert Wellness Center, we are able to prescribe hormone pellets but also BHRT as creams, gels, or patches.
BHRT can be effective in treating a variety of conditions associated with hormonal imbalances, including menopausal symptoms, andropause (the male equivalent of menopause), sexual dysfunction, low libido, chronic fatigue, and weight gain.
Yes. BHRT is suitable for both men and women. Women often seek BHRT for symptoms related to menopause, perimenopause, or hormonal imbalances, while men may consider BHRT for symptoms of andropause or low testosterone levels. In some situations, BHRT can even be prescribed safely and effectively for teens struggling with acne, irregular periods, mood swings, or migraines.
BHRT is generally considered safe when administered and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. However, like any medical treatment, it comes with risks and potential side effects. Our licensed naturopathic physicians will take a complete medical history and evaluate lab results to decide if BHRT is safe for you.
