Dr. Steven Jepson - Utah Bioidentical Hormone Management

Dr Jepson is now happy to offer bioidentical hormone evaluation and prescription. At UDMPC we are dedicated to helping you both look and feel younger. Hormone imbalance is one of the main causes of premature aging. In the 9 years he spent practicing Internal Medicine, he came across countless women (and men, too) who were frustrated with the the way they felt. They had symptoms of low thyroid, but normal thyroid testing. They had symptoms of menopause, but were still still menstruating. They had already gone through menopause, but felt worse with traditional hormone replacement...or they felt better on traditional hormone replacement, but stopped their hormones because of recent cancer scares. They felt tired, had low libido and other forms of sexual dysfunction, had weight gain, had PMS, slept poorly, had heart palptitations, had hot flashes, felt depressed and anxious, etc., etc. But their doctor could find nothing wrong with them!

Now there is an answer!!! Achieve natural hormone balance through Bioidentical Hormones. Your body requires optimal functioning of a multitude of hormones in order to operate correctly and efficiently. Unless these hormones are balanced correctly, you will not feel the way you should feel......and you will age much more rapidly!!

Bioidentical hormone evaluation involves testing your saliva (and sometimes your blood) for your current hormone levels including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol. Saliva hormone levels reflect the actual functioning levels of those hormones much more accurately than blood hormone testing. Plus, saliva is much easier to collect than blood -- you simply spit into a test tube.

We then look at these levels hormone levels (and also at the ratios between the various levels) and specifically design the proper combination of hormones to bring each individual person back into hormonal balance. We do this working closely with local compounding pharmacists, who combine only natural hormone formulations at prescribed doses. Natural forms of estrogen and progesterone are much safer and much more effective than the traditional synthetic hormones that are now falling out of favor in the medical community. Plus, a compounding pharmacist can custom tailor these natural hormones at the individual doses that are just right for you. This means a faster and more effective hormone balancing result.
