Bruce Hoffman, M.D. - Calgary Bioidentical Doctor

Many of us live with chronic symptoms, pain, illness or disease. Finding an integrative medical program that offers an approach to the complexity of the multiple causative factors is often challenging, confusing or out of reach.
In addition, many people are concerned that their health may not be optimal but have no means of assessing that possibility. Their desire may be to measure any biochemical imbalances or risk factors and address them before they manifest as a disease process.
If you are living with any chronic symptom or disease, or if you wish to optimize the health that you already have, The Hoffman Centre for Integrative Medicine can assist you in achieving your health and wellness goals.
Using Dr. Bruce Hoffman's model, 7 Stages to Health and Transformation™, as the template for diagnosis, the Hoffman Centre team investigates the root causes of symptom or disease origination and combines traditional medicine with integrative mind/body and anti-aging modalities for therapeutic intervention. This unique model gives you customized results and a hands-on, personal approach.
It is important to keep in mind, that not all people heal on the same schedule or in the same way. We provide a healing model with a loving environment. Although the disease process is identified before the patient presents, we do not deal in disease; we deal in healing. This is an active process which requires the continued input and collaboration between both the patient and the health team.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is common term for the treatment of conditions caused by the effects of hormone deficiencies resulting from menopause. BHRT uses hormones that are identical in their mollecular structure to the hormones produced naturally within the human body.
BHRT is also used more generally to describe the practice of using only bioidentical hormones in the treatment of all hormone deficiencies, not just menopause. These include perimenopause, which is the time of change leading into menopause, and andropause in men.
Hormones regulate the activity of cells and tissues in the body. Optimized and balanced hormones are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being. In both men and women, hormones decrease with age causing a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, loss of sex drive depression and disrupted sleep patterns (insomnia). The hormones estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid and cortisol all play a very serious role in daily life and health and an imbalance can impact life dramatically.
Many people resign themselves to living with the serious symptoms caused by hormone imbalance, accepting them as an unchangeable and an untreatable part of the aging process. However, maintaining optimum levels of hormones promotes an improved quality of life and prevents many of the degenerative illnesses commonly associated with aging.
Dr. Hoffman's approach is to individualize treatment plans for each patient based on medical history, physical examination, symptoms and laboratory analysis. The prescription is tailored to the exact amount of each hormone needed for the individual's balance. Dr. Hoffman focuses on Bioidentical Hormone restoration and optimization. The first step is to treat the causes of hormone imbalance when possible.
The Hoffman Centre practitioners and staff are committed to working with you to achieve your optimum wellness and look forward to providing you with the highest quality care, using comprehensive, diagnostic protocols and individualized treatment plans.
