A slow or dysfunctional metabolism is one of the most common barriers I see in patients who can't lose weight or keep it off — and low lean muscle mass is one of the most common reasons a metabolism stops working the way it should.

At NOVA Wellness, I frequently see patients who feel “off” despite eating well, exercising, and sleeping enough. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is one evidence-based tool we use to help restore balance and energy when hormone levels are no longer optimal.
