Lesley Hurd, RN - Registered Nurse & Biote Practitioner
Functional Medicine RN and Certified Biote Provider – Bio-Identical Hormone therapy
I believe we all deserve to age gracefully, healthfully, and feel our best each and every day.
Humans were not designed to live as long as we are living. Many years ago, we were not living long enough to experience menopause (women) or andropause (men). Our hormones begin to decline in our 20’s and they do not come back. It is important to optimize our hormone levels to help us feel our best as we navigate through the aging process.
A functional medicine approach combined with bio-identical hormones is a fantastic way to achieve this goal of feeling our best. We all age but menopause or andropause does not need to get in the way of us feeling our best.
Better sleep, boosted energy, mood, memory, and concentration; doing away with night sweats and hot flashes, vaginal dryness and bladder issues for women; boosting libido in women and men, increased exercise endurance, improved cardiac, brain, and heart health! – These are many of the benefits we receive with bio-identical hormone pellet therapy.
I have worked as an RN in various areas of nursing ranging from hospitals, a home care agency, and a few physician offices. I discovered a passion for functional medicine several years ago when I began having my own personal health issues.
I fully believe there is a root cause to most, if not all, illness – and functional medicine is the perfect approach to getting to that root cause. When we can combine this method of healthcare with hormonal balance, we can optimize our health and well-being.
I love being a part of a functional medicine practice and being able to offer the full spectrum to our patients.
