Shelley Kryko was experiencing hot flashes, moodiness, cramps, and wasn’t able to sleep through the night. However, after seeking the help of Dr. Gary Gallo, who specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, she felt the difference immediately. He was able to replenish her testosterone, which decreases during menopause, by administering the hormone in a cream form. Bioidentical hormones are indistinguishable to the body from the hormones it creates, and therefore patients have no side effects to the treatment. Hormone therapy is also for men who may be seeing the symptoms of andropause such as lose of muscle strength, loss of muscle mass, and increased body fat in the midsection.
