Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a clinically-proven method that uses natural hormones identical to those your body produces. This anti-aging treatment is aimed at restoring hormonal balance, alleviating symptoms of imbalance, and enhancing overall physical & mental health.
Dr. Wilkes has trained with leading hormone specialists in the country and has specifically designed this program in order to diagnose & treat the hormone deficiencies that are specific to each recipient.
BHRT supports your body’s natural functions by addressing imbalances that can affect energy, mood, and metabolism. Patients often experience improved vitality and a greater sense of well-being.
By using bioidentical compounds, the therapy minimizes risks associated with synthetic options, providing a personalized solution that adapts to your unique hormonal needs.
The potential benefits of this therapy are numerous:
Bioidentical hormones offer a natural and balanced approach to addressing age-related and hormonal challenges. Many clients have found that symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances diminish as hormonal harmony is restored.
The process involves comprehensive evaluations and tailored treatment plans to ensure each individual achieves optimal results through safe and natural formulations.

Have questions about the process?
We understand that choosing hormone therapy is an important decision. The following questions and answers are intended to provide clarity and confidence as you consider this treatment.
Traditional HRT treatments such as Prempro and Premarin are derived from hormones that are mostly concentrated in horse secretions, and are not identical in nature to your body’s own hormones. Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, are synthesized from plant-based extracts and are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced within humans.
Summit Health Group treats hormone deficiency with an anti-aging concept in mind. Our approach involves three key elements: a personalized discussion to assess symptoms and detect deficiencies, prescribing only top quality bioidentical hormones, and frequent follow-up with personalized dose adjustments to achieve optimal benefits at the lowest effective dose.
As with any medical therapy there are benefits and risks to be reviewed prior to starting treatment, but supporters of bioidentical HRT feel the benefits outweigh the risks. Studies to prove this have not been performed yet, however there are also no studies to the contrary that indicate they have increased risk compared to traditional HRT.
The bottom line is that although more studies are needed, there is good information available that hormone replacement therapy is not only safe, but can also play a significant preventive role in women’s health. Please reference the following peer-reviewed studies for more information:

Many patients begin to notice benefits within a few weeks, with optimal improvements typically emerging over three to six months of consistent treatment.
While bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can provide benefits to many individuals, it may not be suitable for the health needs of every single person, and this is explored in further detail during your initial consultation.
