Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
Therapy for Men and Women

Are you struggling with weight gain, brain fog, fatigue or sexual health issues? While these symptoms are often treated with prescriptions or brushed off by practitioners as a normal part of aging, they’re likely due to a decline in hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen or progesterone, that starts around age 30.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an evidence-based, natural way to restore hormones to their youthful state. Dr. Steven Mehta creates an individualized hormone treatment plan and administers a customized dose to relieve symptoms and promote disease prevention and longevity.

Prevents Disease

Restoring hormonal balance plays an important role in preventing age-related diseases and slowing age-related decline.

Relieves Symptoms

Bioidentical hormone therapy alleviates annoying and, sometimes, debilitating symptoms, ranging from low energy to anxiety.

Enhances Health and Vitality

BHRT supports a host of body processes, including metabolism and sexual function, optimizing your health and quality of life.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body produces to treat deficiencies and imbalances. This means you don’t have to deal with the same risks and side effects associated with conventional, synthetic hormones.

How it Works

Step 1

Consultation and Bloodwork

This 60-minute visit includes a consultation and bloodwork. Dr. Mehta talks with you about your health history, symptoms, goals and lifestyle. He also orders extensive lab testing that goes beyond just a lipid profile and blood count and looks at nutrients, hormones, blood sugar and other important markers as well.

Step 2

In-Depth Review

Based on your labs and insights from your consultation, Dr. Mehta assesses your health on a cellular and vascular level. He reviews the results with you and explains what everything means in detail. Of course, he also answers any questions you have.

Step 3

Tailored Treatment Plan

Dr. Mehta recommends a customized program or treatment plan designed to replenish precisely what your body is missing, whether hormonal, nutritional or cellular. If you have a condition outside of his scope, he helps you triage, providing next steps and referrals to trusted specialists in his network. This truly preventive, whole-health approach helps you look, feel and function at your best.

How is a hormonal imbalance diagnosed?

Hormonal imbalances are easily missed because it’s not always possible to rely solely on bloodwork to diagnose them. Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day and laboratory values have a pretty large range of what’s considered “normal.”

As a leader in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in Scottsdale and Prescott, Dr. Mehta takes a consultative approach to diagnosing and treating hormonal deficiencies. He talks with you about your challenges, health history and goals and evaluates your bloodwork results in the context of your individual biology and symptoms.

How are hormones administered?

From testosterone injections to estrogen creams, hormones come in all sorts of forms. The most popular choice at Oasis Vein and Vitality is bioidentical hormone pellets. Because the pellets are placed under the skin and release a consistent dose of hormones over the course of several months, they’re a set-it-and-forget-it solution.

Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy safe?

While synthetic hormones may carry some risks, many claims, such as hormones causing cancer, weight gain and cardiovascular disease, aren’t supported by scientific evidence.

To minimize your risks and side effects, Dr. Mehta uses bioidentical hormones and titrates the dose to meet your needs. These plant-derived hormones are identical to the ones your body produces, making them a safer alternative. In fact, hormone optimization actually lowers your risk of age-related disease and helps with weight gain by boosting your metabolism.
