I came to see Carla almost a year ago and after leaving I felt revived, restored and renewed. Your bedside manner was amazing and the time you took in just talking to me made me feel important. You're a true blessing.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
....What is it?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a safe and effective alternative to using synthetic hormones or pharmaceuticals* in treating the symptoms and conditions related with hormone deficiency or imbalance.
​
Bio-identical hormones are compounded in a pharmacy, and each prescription is compounded to meet a patient's individual needs and address their specific concerns. Carla Copas, APN has been using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to effectively help patients with a hormonal imbalance for over 10 years. She has successfully helped over 500 women using natural and bio-identical hormone replacement.
Women undergoing an imbalance in their hormones understand the frustrations of different hormone-related symptoms.
​
Some of these symptoms include
-
hot flashes
-
low libido (sex drive)
-
foggy thinking
-
depression
-
anxiety
-
night sweats
-
irritability
-
moodiness
-
vaginal dryness
Bioidentical Hormone replacement can help you and help your relationship! After 3 months with Copas Health and Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, you can expect significant changes in how you feel. Some women say they feel better with Bioidentical Hormone therapy within 3-4 weeks. Remember, you didn't get to this peri-menopausal/menopausal state in 1 month, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement is a process and usually takes about 3-4 months to find your sweet spot. Our approach to Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is starting at a low level, and adjusting slowly to correct your hormone imbalance.

A Patient's Story:
After having a complete hysterectomy at the age of 25, and was immediately placed on traditional hormone replacement therapy of Estrodal only, yet all of my tests still showed I was post-menopausal.
​
I was miserable mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and suffered from the following:
-
Weight Gain
-
Depression
-
Incontinence
-
Bruised extremely easy
-
Hot Flashes
-
Mood-Swings
-
Severe Depression
-
I was Suicidal
-
Vaginal Driness
-
No Libido
-
Memory Loss
-
Brain Fog
-
Always felt Tired and Run Down
-
Thinning Skin
-
Thinning Hair
-
Was growing facial hair (side effect of traditional hormone replacement therapy).
​
I highly recommend Carla because she immediately intervened, and knew I was miserably suffering from a Hormonal Imbalance. She clearly knew what to do to help me and completely changed my life. She also SAVED my life! I feel blessed and forever grateful (so is my husband) that I met Carla and can't thank her enough!

*The use of traditional hormone therapy changed abruptly when a large clinical trial found that the treatment actually posed more health risks than benefits for one type of hormone therapy, particularly when given to older postmenopausal women. As the concern about health hazards attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors became less likely to prescribe it.
