We are proud to be Miami’s #1 rated bioidentical hormone replacement/optimization therapy clinic – be sure to check out our Google reviews and video testimonials. The Medical Health Institute is able to achieve the results you will see and read about by staying on the cutting edge of hormone optimization technology.

Because our bioidentical hormone replacement/optimization therapy doctors are on hormone replacement themselves, they can provide you with an expert medical analysis not only from a scientific point of view but from a personal experience perspective as well. We are more than just a hormone, peptide, or testosterone clinic, we are a wellness lifestyle practice. Our goal is to restore both your body and mind to optimal health. Our medical director, Dr. Amy Wecker, who is a hormone patient herself states the following:

I had always been healthy, with no serious medical problems. I was a happy practitioner of conventional medicine and did not know anything about bio-identical hormones or supplementation. Then one evening, everything changed. I was 37 years old, out of town with my ex-husband, sitting at the hotel bar having a glass of wine. Out of nowhere, I started having intense lower abdominal cramps. It was not time for my period, and when I went upstairs to our hotel room, I started having profuse vaginal bleeding with large blood clots. It was so scary! I went to see my conventional gynecologist the following week; he did an ultrasound, told me I had a couple of small fibroids, no cancer, and that I was “fine.”

Over the following few months, my periods became extremely heavy. I could barely function. I would have to change my tampon at least once an hour in between each patient. Forget about going to yoga, and I could not go to a 90-minute class without having blood running down my leg before it ended. I was exhausted, and my sex drive disappeared. Finally, I ran into a gynecologist friend one night, and she was practicing functional medicine. I pulled her aside and told her what I had been going through. She suggested I see her in the office to do some blood work, and I promptly made an appointment. She diagnosed me with low testosterone and hypothyroidism and set up an endometrial ablation to eliminate my excess vaginal bleeding.

Within a few months, I was back to my healthy self. I was so happy and grateful, and this sparked my interest in functional medicine—I am now board certified myself. I love learning everything I can about how to keep myself and my patients in optimal health. Just being cancer-free is not enough. I am 46 years old now, on bio-identical hormones, a variety of supplements, and peptides, and I feel better than I did in my 20s. I work full time, teach and practice advanced yoga on the side, and I have plenty of energy to keep up with everything in my life, including my young boyfriend! There is absolutely no reason that we, as humans, should be spending over half of our lives in a steady decline until we die. There are so many rejuvenating and optimizing therapies available to us now, and I plan to stay on treatment so I can continue living my most healthy, vibrant life for as long as possible.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO AGE MANAGEMENT MEDICINE

At our Miami hormone replacement/optimization therapy clinic, we take a holistic approach to your health. What does that mean? Quite simply, rather than the standard approach to medicine, which treats the symptoms, we address the root cause of the underlying conditions you may be experiencing or dealing with. In order to restore optimal balance both in your body and mind, we need to restore it back to its natural state of health, also known as homeostasis. For that, we need to obtain the full story.

You will start with an in-depth hormonal/nutrient lab analysis followed by a doctor consultation which will assess both family and medical history. Once you’ve met with one of our expert hormone physicians, they will tailor out a personalized treatment plan specific to your needs and long-term goals. You will then be closely monitored throughout the program to ensure we get the results we are after, ideally reintroducing you to an optimal state of living health. Close follow-up throughout your hormone therapy program is not only crucial but one of our fortes that we take great pride in. This is both our passion and craft, and it’s our job to make sure you remain engaged, encouraged, informed, and excited about your journey!
