Functional Endocrinology and Bio-Identical Hormones

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine which addresses endocrine glands such as the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland, and the reproductive glands and the hormones these glands produce. Functional endocrinology endeavors to optimize the function of the endocrine glands, to balance the hormones produced by the glands, and to work with hormonal metabolism. Bio-identical hormones are hormones identical to those in your body that can augment or replace hormones.
