Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

SHA Wellness Clinic has developed a specific programme that adapts to the needs of each patient and it is designed to optimize the patient’s health and delay the effects of aging by calculating their biological age vis-à-vis their chronological age. It is a multidisciplinary approach that includes genetics, hormone management, nutrition and physical fitness.

Hormones are used that are identical on a biological and molecular level to those produced by our own body. These hormones keep us healthy and if we can maintain these hormones at the optimum level, we will be able to enhance our state of health, which therefore helps us recover our energy and vitality.
