At Natural Health Works, we believe that the only way to replace hormones safely is to customize your therapy. We do this by measuring your baseline hormone levels.

For this reason, we use compounding pharmacies to provide you with a prescription that is just right for you. Hormones work like a symphony, with each hormone playing a part in the orchestra, which is you.
