Natural Hormone Replacement
Hormonal balance is an integral part of healthy aging, reproduction, and wellbeing. This is important for BOTH Men and Women. Hormonal balance keeps our body chemistry in line with imbalance you may feel a multitude of symptoms from mental, emotional and physical.
A decrease in energy, enthusiasm, and stamina (feeling like they lost their edge) is the first thing most men notice when a shift occurs in their hormones.
Women are especially susceptible to hormonal imbalance and experience a range of symptoms. Estrogen levels drop by 40 to 60% after menopause, causing anxiety, fat gain (mainly around the hips), fibrocystic and/or tender breasts, irregular bleeding, irritability, mood swings, retention of water, and symptoms of low thyroid including depression, feeling cold, tearfulness, low sex drive, and thinning hair.
There is good news we can put your body back in balance…all these symptoms are treatable.
Meridian Health Institute offers natural hormone replacement therapy (NHRT) including bio-identical hormones, an integrated approach to feel your best again.

What is PRF and why combine PRF with Sculptra?PRF is a natural product created from your own body’s blood. When injected into specific areas of the skin, it promotes your own collagen to grow and regenerate tissue, naturally smoothing and tightening skin, softening wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone. Traditional fillers do not occur naturally in our bodies. Some can even be rejected, especially with long term usage. Fillers are instant, and therefore obvious, leaving many looking ‘filled’ and overdone. Plasmasculpt -fibrin therapy works over time with the body’s natural process. So unlike traditional fillers, there are no obvious lines where PlasmaSculpt-fibrin treatments are placed.
