Dr. Costello provides individualized bio identical hormone replacement for both men and women. Our initial consultation will evaluate your concerns, how you feel overall and any pre existing medical conditions. We prefer saliva testing for most of our evaluation as it has consistently proven to give the best indication of hormone levels in the patient’s body as well as convenience. It’s not just about estrogen and testosterone! There are many hormones in your body that tend to change as we age. These changes may simply occur due to ageing, but also may be due to other factors such as nutritional deficiencies and stress. By safely putting your body back in balance with a combination of natural hormone therapy, as well as oral pharmaceutical grade supplements, you will feel like a new person in no time. Dr. Costello personally follows each case and routinely tests your levels throughout the course of your treatment.

Contrary to public misconception, hormone therapy is essential for men as well as women. Men start losing testosterone as they age and just like women will experience, sleep disturbance, change in libido, weight gain, tiredness etc. Balancing your hormone levels back to your younger levels will provide lean muscle mass, more efficient fat deposition, more energy, better concentration, improved sleep and a healthier sex life.

Men

Low testosterone levels can cause a variety of symptoms including:

• Concentration Problems
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Loss of Muscle Tone
• Night Sweats
• Abdominal Weight Gain
• Depression/Anxiety
• Low Libido
• Decreased Urinary Flow
• Fatigue

These symptoms can easily be addressed with hormone testing, bioidentical hormone replacement, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes (foods, exercise, relaxation etc). In addition to testing testosterone levels, we will also evaluate many other bio markers that will lead you to being healthier mentally and physically including, but not limited to, vitamin D levels, thyroid function and cortisol levels.
