Ashley's Hormone Testimonial: "How could I be in my mid-40s and feel decades older?"

My 40s did not feel like the new 30. I was tired all the time, no energy for my regular exercise, sleepless nights, loss of muscle, foggy head and, my hair was falling out. I was already struggling with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, so to experience all of these symptoms, oh, and reduced sex drive, just seemed like a cruel joke. I felt trapped in a body that I didn’t recognize or feel was my own. My emotions were all over the place and I felt I was barely functioning most of the time. After the free initial consultation, I met with Dr. Scinta and instantly felt connection and hope! She explained the advantages of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and gave me confidence that she could help. Her knowledge about hormones and the relationship to my hypothyroidism was what had eluded my primary medical care for years. Making the decision for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy came very easy. Within a week of my first treatment, my energy was returning, my mood and emotions improving, and my body started to feel less foreign. After a few weeks, I felt like myself, but even more vibrant than I had in a very long time. My skin and complexion appeared more youthful, exercise felt good again, I gained muscle again and my libido was back – my body felt like my own again. Dr. Scinta and her team are so caring and supportive and continue to be an integral part of my health care journey. I am forever grateful to have found Dr. Scinta and the Medical Weight Loss team!

Mary’s Hormone Testimonial.... Another wonderful story and an incredible endorsement from her husband!

My name is Mary, I am 57 years old and have been getting Bioidentical Hormone replacement pellets for over 2 years now and one thing I can tell you firsthand is that it is the absolute best thing I have ever done for myself and my family. When I first started menopause, I tried to push through the mood swings, hot flashes, lack of desire to do anything, lack of sleep etc. I tried vigorous exercise and taking natural supplements and nothing helped. I then decided to go to my Gynecologist and go on HRT….the pharmaceutical kind of HRT. It helped a little bit but not a lot. I started reading up on pharmaceutical HRT and it’s a little scary so I decided to go off of them. That is when my research started for a more natural form of HRT and that is when I found Medical Weight Loss of CNY and Dr. Wendy Scinta and NP Julie Cannizzo. They have changed my life. If you do your research you will find out that HRT actually reduces our risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. So what better than plant based HRT? When I started getting bioidentical hormone pellets, I felt 100% better in every way. More energy, I was able to get a good night’s sleep, I could exercise, I stopped getting hot flashes and my physical relationship with my husband improved tremendously. Not only does menopause affect us mentally but physically as well. I guess in a nutshell for me the pellets are “the fountain of youth” I haven’t felt this good since I was in my 20’s. My husband and I have been together since we were 16 years old. We dated for 10 years and have been married for 31 years and our relationship has never been better. All I can say is I felt like a flatliner before the pellets. They completely changed my life. For what it’s worth my husband said that he doesn’t care what the cost of the pellets are…..I’d pay a million dollars every 3 months!! I got my wife back!!

Marge D Hormone Therapy

Marge D: One Hot Mess . . . For Real, Not For Fake!

Before meeting Dr. Wendy Scinta and her staff, I was one hot mess. I couldn’t even make it to the mailbox and back. You name it…no energy, no desire, no motivation. Just mental fog, procrastination, pain, hot flashes, night sweats, chills, thinning hair, dry skin, mood swings, insomnia and weight gain. Already recovering from Lyme Disease and heavy metal poisoning, and having the daily struggle of Hashimoto thyroiditis…I’m now dealing with the symptoms that come with hormone imbalance and menopause. Good grief batman. THANK GOD FOR DR. SCINTA AND HER STAFF!!! What a breath of fresh air! A free initial, in-depth consult, serious blood workup, lengthy sit-down explanation of the results…had me shaking my head as to why I consider myself one of the lucky ones to have found this clinic. The pellet insertion is fast and easy. They explain each step along the way. You leave with an ice pack, instructions for the next couple of days…and you’re on your way to “knowing that the door, is a door”…you then find yourself writing that long list of to-do’s that you’ve been procrastinating with – AND you do them! Ahhh the satisfaction of crossing off a to-do item! Less pain, no hot flashes or night sweats, uninterrupted sweet sleep…and, I know you’re not going to believe this…but…I have definition in my upper arms within days of my insertion. I’ve not only found my way to the mailbox and back…but I’ve recently signed up for body building competition training…for real!!

The decision to add bioidentical hormone replacement to my weight loss maintenance plan has been nothing short of life-changing.  After menopause, I had gotten used to the “new normal” of poor sleep, foggy brain, low energy and low libido.  I consulted with Dr. Scinta and her staff to understand what benefits I might expect, and was thrilled that within two weeks of my first insertion, all of those symptoms disappeared.  Beyond that, since receiving the hormone replacement, I can workout longer and harder.  I am building muscle and losing fat without making any changes to my regular routine.  I feel more like 26 than 62.  It is as if the aging process has completely reversed!  Dr. Scinta and her staff and wonderful, supportive collaborators as I work to maintain my best health.  It is a joy being a patient in this practice!

Michelle: “I've experienced an improvement in all of the above symptoms, so much so that I cannot imagine life without it.”

Several years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, a severe form of hypothyroidism. I searched tirelessly for answers and finally was put on the right medication. However, I still suffered from low energy, low libido and weight gain. I was extremely frustrated. 

After continued research, I started on Bioidentical hormone therapy two years ago and it’s been a real game-changer. I‘ve experienced an improvement in all of the above symptoms, so much so that I cannot imagine life without it. I used to struggle horribly to recover from workouts, but not anymore. I have muscle tone again at age 50 and my libido is back and better than ever. I’ve also noticed my skin has more of a youthful radiance that I didn’t have before. 

I’ve found Dr. Scinta to be very professional, approachable and incredibly genuine and compassionate in her care for my progress. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. This has truly been such a blessing in my life!

Cynthia Testimonial on hormones for women

Cynthia: “It took addressing my hormone imbalance with Dr Scinta, to realize how significant a role they play in everything from sleeplessness, pain, and foggy thinking, to desire and joy.”

I took a long time coming to the idea of medical weight loss. It was my well educated and informed son who insisted I consult a doctor who understood the role of estrogen and testosterone in weight loss.

I have yet to join the “program” because I genuinely wanted to concentrate on getting my hormones straightened out.

I had my ovaries out over 2 decades ago. I never had hormone replacement due to the problems and risks associated with them at that time. I had few issues but did not notice the slow decline in my overall wellbeing, other than a steady weight gain which I attributed to my own lack of resolve, consistency, hunger, busy-ness, responsibilities and aging. 

It took addressing my hormone imbalance with Dr Scinta, to realize how significant a role they play in everything from sleeplessness, pain, and foggy thinking, to desire and joy.

Genuinely, I tell every woman I meet to never settle for depression, frustration, weight gain, insomnia, a sense of malaise, a distancing from spouse, whatever they attribute to menopause, and really don’t give up on the joy of sex and how it impacts your self-esteem and the people who love you!

I am joyful again, rested, in virtually no pain and yes, I have finally after 3 rounds of treatment, begun to address my weight. I needed a great deal of emotional healing and am honoring that as I go forward.

I’ve lost only 15 pounds now and I am not miraculously shedding them at all. The hormones are not a magic bullet for weight loss. It requires consistency and wise choices, along with a hope I haven’t felt in ages.

Don’t acquiesce to menopause, natural or otherwise, and the waining of desire, passions, restful nights, the pain and the accompanied emotional roller coaster women seem to think is our lot in life.

Seek answers, research, but make an appointment and find out if treatments and balanced hormones can be your answer too.

Tammy Hormone Testimonial

Tammy: "I’ve lost over 50lbs within 2 years. I feel so much better and cannot thank Dr. Scinta and her staff enough..."

It’s been 2 years since making that phone call to Dr. Scinta’s office, so glad I did!

It’s been 2 years since making that phone call to Dr. Scinta’s office, so glad I did! I had enough with feeling lethargic, the weight gain, night sweats, migraine headaches, and absolutely no libido.
When my bloodwork came back, to which she went over in full detail with me, to find out not only was my testosterone extremely low so was my metabolism. After my first pellet insertion, I could tell something was happening. My energy level had increased tremendously. I started losing weight, no more night sweats, no headaches and my libido was like, helloooo!
My husband was so funny in saying “I don’t care what this costs, I have my wife back!”

I’ve lost over 50lbs within 2 years. I feel so much better and cannot thank Dr. Scinta and her staff enough for taking the time to introduce me to me again.

Vandana Bio Idential Hormone Testimonial

Vandana: " Dr. Scinta’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been a life-changer for me. "

Dr. Scinta’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been a life-changer for me. Post-menopause, I suffered for several years. I was always fatigued, and I had intense body aches, as well as symptoms that were misdiagnosed as shingles. At my first meeting with Dr. Scinta, she immediately understood my situation, and it was a relief to not be looked at as a hypochondriac. She was compassionate and humorous, and I trusted her immediately. I could tell that she genuinely cared. Exactly one week after the first pellet insertion, I felt that a switch had been turned on – my aches went away, I had lots of energy, I began to sleep better, I lost the extra post-menopausal weight, and my mental fog cleared. I was ecstatic! I now have my old life back, where I can go biking and skiing with my daughter, without pain and with joy.

Dr. Scinta is amazing, and all her staff are friendly and very competent. I have been on this treatment for several years, and I plan to continue with it for the rest of my life. There is no reason to live in pain and compromise on one’s life quality. Thank you, Dr. Scinta!

Steve Testimonial on male hormones

Steve: “I found new motivation at work, and have started numerous projects”

Over the past 8-9 months I have been working with Medical Weight Loss of NY in Dewitt to get my testosterone back in balance. As older men we lose our stored up testosterone, and I really felt it.  I was battling some depression, had a short fuse, and was a little tired most of the time. Women have had hormone injections/supplements for years, and I sure am glad we realize that lots of men need testosterone supplements too.

I received my first testosterone implant at MWL and after a few weeks I could feel myself getting back to the old me.  I found new motivation at work, and have started numerous projects that had gone by the wayside, because I was just a little too tired to get them started. I am fortunate that I had a friend of mine who is also involved with some testosterone therapy tell me about it.  I started to research it, and boy am I glad I did.

I couldn’t recommend this any higher. And we are so lucky to have Medical Weight Loss of NY to guide me through the process so that it fits my needs. Thanks MWL you’ve really helped me enjoy my Empty nester years, thanks. Steve.

testimonial photo for patient, Shelly

Shelly: “I feel like my young self again!”

I began suffering from all of the classic symptoms of decreased hormone levels – fatigue, trouble sleeping, unexplained weight gain, foggy brain, low libido – and was miserable.  I started to receive Bioidentical hormone replacement pellets and it changed my life.  I can’t imagine going through the rest of my life without them.  I literally feel 25 again and over the first year of receiving the pellets I lost 20 pounds!  The staff at Dr. Scinta’s office is friendly, accommodating and professional.

I’m going to grow old gracefully and continued hormone replacement will forever be part of my routine.  There is absolutely no reason to suffer from the symptoms of decreased hormone levels. get a consultation today!

Heather: "I feel sensuous, alive, energized and my brain is working normally again."

I have been receiving the bioidentical hormone replacement pellets through Dr. Scinta’s office for several years now, and love how it makes me feel.  My testosterone had been quite low, and I had been feeling lethargic, with some periods of feeling like I wasn’t as quick on my toes mentally as I was used to.  I was experiencing relatively low libido compared to just a few years earlier and was also having trouble sleeping with terrible night sweats.  Shortly after I started the bio-identical hormone replacement pellets, I noticed a boost in my energy and mood,  with no more feelings of foggy brain.  My sleep is now consistent and steady without waking multiple times during the night, and no more night sweats.  I wake up most days feeling rested and refreshed.    I feel sensuous, alive, energized and my brain is working normally again.  I have energy and am back to the gym on a regular and consistent basis. It has been a life-saver for me,  with no downside.  I highly recommend this if you are experiencing any symptoms similar to what I was.

Joanne S.: "I noticed an increase in clarity, energy, and body strength, with no adverse reactions"*

My experience with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been wonderful so far. Within a few weeks after I started treatment, I noticed an increase in clarity, libido, energy, and body strength, with no adverse reactions.  I am an active 61-year old, with a very demanding executive-level job and full-time work schedule, who also strength trains. I have a 99-year-old mother who is still going strong, and a father who remained in good health until he passed away from “natural causes” at 95. Since longevity and good health are apparently on my side, I wanted to preserve as much youthful vitality as possible, to age “gracefully” and to maintain “quality of life”, for as long as possible.  I believe this treatment will help me attain those goals.  It already has helped me attained some of them. The staff at Medical Weight Loss of Central New York is the best … five stars! They are professional, patient, encouraging, and just nice people.

Fairlie: "I can continue teaching with renewed zeal!"*

In 2015, I met Dr. Scinta who diagnosed my hormone deficiencies and, after researching in consultation with other progressive medical professionals, agreed to treat my condition with SottePelle hormone pellets. Dr. Scinta is a pioneer who has the compassion, knowledge and courage to seek solutions to improve the lives of those suffering from hormonal imbalances and other challenges. The dryness, foggy memory, low energy levels and lack of sexual drive have improved dramatically, and I can continue teaching with renewed zeal! Please, please, please understand that you do not need to endure these types of conditions like I did for so many years. At the very least, consult with Dr. Scinta before you resign yourself to living with treatable medical issues.

Abbie: "I knew the BHRP that Dr. Scinta's offer would help me get better and that Dr. Scinta understood this. And it truly has."*

I am delighted to write this review for Dr. Wendy Scinta. I have been a patient of Dr. Scinta’s for over one year. My treatment includes the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy of SotoPelle pellets (testosterone and estrogen) and take progesterone tablets.

I have read the reviews written by other patients; they are invariably highly complimentary. I can say that from my experience that each one is true. Each review describes the specific symptoms that I too was experiencing and that were making me miserable, including uncontrollable weight gain, extreme loss of energy and libido, random pain, and fitful sleep. I felt I was prematurely aging and this was depressing. Blood tests confirmed that my testosterone levels were very low; so was my metabolism. I was delighted! This was because I knew the BHRP that Dr. Scinta’s offer would help me get better and that Dr. Scinta understood this. And it truly has.

I have every intention of continuing this treatment, which includes regular blood tests to ensure I am getting exactly what I need. I am very grateful for Dr. Scinta.

Renee: I finally feel like my “Young Self” again!*

At 48 I started to notice “brain fog”, hot flashes, trouble resting at night, night sweats, restlessness and increased aches and pains. People kept telling me “this was part of getting old.” I began thinking to myself that people just give up when experiencing these life-changing symptoms. I was not accepting that and was turning the negative into positive; 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40. I did my due diligence and researched all the pros and cons regarding BHRT. I talked to a couple people who were already on BHRT to get their experiences. I decided to try it! Best thing I have ever done, immediately (within 48 hours) the hot flashes subsided, my sleep pattern was more consistent, and moodiness improved. After about a month, I saw an amazing improvement in my energy level and relief from the aches and pains. My workouts improved, my workdays didn’t feel so long and overall I felt more like I did when I was in my 30’s. I have now been on BHRT for over a year and I can’t imagine life without it.

David: After the testosterone pellet insertion,  the increase in energy helped with my weight loss and motivation to exercise.*

I’ve been seeing Dr. Scinta since 2012.  She and the great staff at MWLNY have been helping me battle my weight and get back to a healthy state.  Last fall, I noticed that I always seemed to be tired, lack energy and my mood was always poor.  Even though I had moved away from Syracuse, I still knew I could count on Dr. Scinta to help me.

I discussed this with Dr. Scinta and she suggested getting my bloodwork checked for low testosterone.  We had done this in the past and I had been borderline low.  When the test results came back, it showed that my testosterone levels had gone to lower levels and she suggested we try the  testosterone replacement therapy.

I scheduled an appointment for the next time I would be in Syracuse for the pellet insertion.  The procedure was very easy and painless.  Within a few days, I could see my energy levels going up and my overall mood was improving.  The increase in energy helped with my weight loss and motivation to exercise.

It’s been about 6 months since I had my hormone replacement and I have started to feel a little decrease in energy.  I knew right away it was time to call the office again to have the bloodwork done so I could get a booster.  I would highly recommend this to any man in his 50’s who is seeing a general decrease in energy and motivation.

testimonial of bioidentical hormone patient, Monica

Monica: My ability to multi-task and plan ahead improved greatly, I felt like a human being again with hormone replacement therapy*

Dr. Scinta and staff are amazing!! Prior to the pellets, I felt like I was slowly losing my mind and no energy to try to find it. The brain fog that I was experiencing was affecting my daily living and was starting to become a bit scary for me. I am very good at multi-tasking and was finding it increasingly difficult to remember even the simplest things to do. My energy level was at an all-time low- just getting out of bed was a taxing effort. Lack of sleep was becoming routine and night sweats were the norm. I saw the information during a visit for my husband’s weight loss program and thought it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. Reviewing my first set of labs with Dr. Scinta revealed so much that I couldn’t believe that I was even functioning on a day by day basis. Within a week and a half after my first insertion of the pellets I knew I made the best decision ever. I actually began to sleep through the night, awake with energy and dry clothes (The night sweats are completely gone!). My ability to multi-task and plan ahead improved greatly that I felt like a human being again. I will continue to take the pellets for as long as I can and highly recommend and encourage others to give it a try.

Gloria: I had not felt like this in years after hormone replacement therapy*

Over the last decade, I began to feel more sluggish and tired. I gained weight and no matter what I did, I could not lose any. I was enduring a multitude of “female” issues for no apparent reason other than aging but I was otherwise healthy. I did not feel engaged in life or feel like myself and there were times I felt like I was “too emotional”.
I realized I had to do something because I was not getting any answers and could not believe that, as I was being told, “this is just normal aging”.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Scinta. The staff here is great! Dr. Scinta and her staff made me feel comfortable and actually listened to how I was feeling, what my symptoms were and what I thought I should feel like if I felt “normal” for me. They had my blood tested and found that, while my estrogen and other factors were within optimal ranges, my testosterone was almost non-existent.

I was started on a low dose of testosterone and my body accepted the pellets very well with no side effects. After a couple of weeks, I felt like my old self. I had not felt like this in years!

It has taken a couple of insertions to get the dosing optimal for me and I could not be happier. I have not had any negative side effects and feel like I have my life back!

Rob: Clearer Thinking and A New Lease On Life After Hormone Replacement Therapy*

I’ll be honest; I was a little skeptical before receiving hormone replacement therapy, but it is one of the best investments that I have ever made. I say it’s an investment because it’s an investment in you.

Prior to receiving my first SotoPelle testosterone, I had very low energy, lethargy, a sense of hopelessness and every year I found it harder and harder to keep the weight off. Then lo and behold I stumbled on Dr. Scinta and it has completely turned my life around. I am full of energy. I have clear thinking. My blood pressure even went down considerably. The feeling of melancholy that I once carried with me is now a faint memory. My outlook on life is much improved. The staff at Medical Weight Loss Of New York is friendly and very professional. From the ladies at the front office to the staff in the back, each and every one of them treats you with dignity and respect.

If you are skeptical like me and are not sure, believe me when I tell you the results are worth it. Remember it’s an investment in you. Godspeed.

Dave: Increased Energy and Feeling Younger With Testosterone Therapy*

It’s been a couple of years since I first lumbered into Dr. Scinta’s practice and, while I may not be her most successful patient, she, along with her caring and kind staff, have had a terrific impact improving my overall health and quality of life.  Recently, Dr. Scinta suggested that I was a prime candidate for the new hormone implant treatment available at MWLNY and that the implants would work in perfect sync with my other program for weight management.  Boy, were they right about that!  It sounds like a cliché, but I haven’t felt like this for years.  I’ve really got some of my much younger former self back and my energy level is that of ten years ago without any negative side effects.  Coming to Dr. Scinta for professional help reaching personal goals of health and well being is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself …and for my family, too!

patient Debby testimonial photo

Debby: Hot Flashes Relief After Hormone Replacement*

I had accepted hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, and losing sleep as part of ‘maturing’. I saw literature in Dr. Scinta’s office about Hormone Replacement Therapy – so I asked about it. Dr. Scinta asked about my symptoms, then checked my hormone levels with blood tests. I have had two pellet insertions and haven’t looked back. The fog has lifted! Hot flashes less frequent, and being able to sleep is a life changer. I don’t think women should have to endure these miserable symptoms when there is a safe and effective way to manage them. Dr. Scinta and her staff are, as always, knowledgeable, helpful and easy to talk to. If you ever feel like the oven is on when it’s not or can’t finish a sentence because you can’t remember the word – you should ask about this treatment.

Hormone replacement testimonial

Jenn: The Secret Female Hormone*

I was so tired of hearing that my symptoms were simply part of getting older.  After reading The Secret Female Hormone, I started researching hormone replacement therapy.

I found someone who understood exactly what I was feeling and agreed it does not have to be this way, there is something we can do!

I cannot recommend Dr. Scinta and her staff enough! Almost immediately after my first insertion I was able to sleep through the night, overall I have more energy, less anxiety, more focus and I have my life back. The entire staff is wonderful, I cannot recommend them enough.  If you have thought about it or considered HRT you need to meet them!

Sue Hormone Success Story

Sue: Fatigue and Brain Fog Relief after Testosterone Therapy*

When the hot flashes started, my plan was to just deal with them and let them run their course. However, I did not expect the fatigue or the brain fog. I was struggling through my workouts and struggling even more with finding words during presentations and meetings. I met with Dr. Scinta and discussed BHRT pellets as an option for me.

Honestly, I left the office not really sure this would help me and wasn’t convinced a bioidentical hormone is what I needed. Until…I received the results of my blood work and found out my testosterone was down to an 8. I now realized I needed to do something and scheduled an appointment for the insertion.

The results for me were immediate and I felt strong for the first time in over a year. I also noticed my brain was not scrambling for words and I was able to articulate my thoughts without a struggle. Who knew these symptoms were all interrelated? I now know when I’m due for another insertion just by listening to my body. When I feel really tired for no obvious reason or the word struggle starts, I know it is time to call the office for a blood draw and schedule the next insertion.

I would recommend this therapy to anyone experiencing symptoms to see if hormone replacement is right for them. The staff at the office are wonderful and always take the time to answer all of your questions and concerns.

Tim Hormone Success Story

Tim: Arthritis Pain Relief with Testosterone*

I have been very pleased with the results of the  testosterone replacement using injected pellets.

It has increased my energy levels significantly.

I need less sleep then before but it is a better quality sleep. I think the best result is the decrease in pain. The aches and pains of arthritis has diminished greatly.

The increased libido, and performance has been a bonus. I also like that it is quick and easy with no daily or weekly maintenance.

Kevin: Increased Energy after Testosterone Therapy*

“I’ve just recently completed my 3rd round of treatment for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Shortly after an insertion, I feel like I drank a large cup of coffee, a jittery feeling and a jolt of energy and then it levels out. The first 3-4 months there is a very noticeable change, increased energy level.

I work 14 hour days so the fact that I’m able to get through a work week without feeling lethargic has been a tremendous help. The little crazy things like forgetting your keys in the morning hasn’t really happened, so it has definitely helped with clarity. I have always had a very high sex drive so I don’t think that has changed much but I’ve noticed improvement in my stamina and performance. Healthiness wise, I feel as if in the last year and a half I haven’t gotten sick as much. Overall as a whole I feel very healthy!”

Brenda W Success Story

Brenda W: Life after 55 for this retired RN*

Here they are all of the verbs that were my life: Hot flashing, brain foggy, irritable, insomniac, with no libido and no ability to concentrate, and zero focus. (My poor husband) Until I found Dr. Scinta’s office and her staff that saved me (and him) from a soggy, cranky forgetful, sexless future, that was surely mine. From the first blood draw, they measured everything, and quite frankly it was OBVIOUS why I was feeling like I was! They implanted the first pellet and about 2 nights later, I was sleeping really well, I can’t explain why, but I was. In about 3-4 weeks I was feeling so much better, no more hot flashes, no more night sweats! I was actually able to think and concentrate and focus. And believe it or not about 2 months in my libido came back! Let’s just say my husband is no longer (my poor husband)… I had a second pellet placed about 3.5 months after the first, and I am feeling amazing. I look great and I feel wonderful.

The only complaint I have with the therapy is that my insurance doesn’t cover it. But I feel so great that I do not care. I will continue to work and pay for it myself. It is worth it. I am 57, (58 in a couple of months.) I play tennis, I play golf, I work 65-80 hours a week and I look great. My son told me the other day, “you don’t look close to 60 Mom.”

If you are having all or some of the symptoms I described, quit suffering, we are so fortunate to live near Dr. Scinta’s office. Give them a call and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK! I did and I will not look back.

Kelly: I feel I have my life back*

I have had BHRT pellet insertions for four years. I struggled with HRT for years after my complete hysterectomy. Finally, with the pellets, I feel I have my life back. It has helped me physically and mentally. The pellets have helped with my anxiety, memory, migraines, energy, and sex drive.

I love Dr. Scinta’s energy and compassion. The staff is super supportive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the bio identical pellets to any women entering the menopausal phase of life. You can feel young again!

Carolyn: Pellets have been Fabulous for Me*

“Thank God for Dr. Scinta! One doesn’t need to blindly accept all the traditional signs of aging. Ever since I started with the pellets, I haven’t had any “open all the windows and doors and disrobe” hot flashes. I can sleep, remember my name and even enjoy my husband again! I have the energy to work out, my body is building muscle and my skin isn’t dry anymore. It’s surprising to actually see the test results that finally explain WHY I was so tired or my lack of libido. The pellet treatment may not be for everyone but it has been fabulous for me.”

Mary: Highly Recommend*

I am pleased to share my experiences as a patient of Dr. Wendy Scinta. After suffering from memory loss, weight gain, insomnia, decreased libido and fatigue, I found Dr. Scinta.

At my first visit, I experienced a warm, insightful, highly intelligent physician who readily used her integrative medical training to treat me with bioidentical hormone therapy.

After my first treatment, I felt better about myself, my marriage and my participation in my job and daily activities than I had for many years. I am so pleased with the results of my therapy and highly recommend bioidentical hormone therapy.

Cindy: Uninterrupted Sleep Through the Night*

I was working with Dr. Scinta when she introduced the bio identical hormones into her practice. I had been using a previous method of estrogen replacement which helped alleviate some of the post-menopausal symptoms of dry skin and hot flushes but didn’t touch my inability to sleep at night. I joked that I hadn’t slept since 1992 but lack of sleep is no joking matter and contributes to weight gain, types 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Dr. Scinta told me I would sleep without drugs but I was doubtful. It had been so long. I’m happy to report that I did sleep immediately uninterrupted through the night, my skin felt soft and supple and I was not walking around tired all the time.

I’m now a firm believer in the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormones and will recommend them to all my patients suffering from pre and post-menopausal symptoms.

Giovanna: Felt Better Almost Immediately*

After spending a few years searching why I was exhausted and why I could no longer workout as hard as I used to I was in Dr. Scintas office and saw the ad for BHRT pellets. After carefully researching and doing due diligence we did blood work and decided it was worth trying. Felt better almost immediately. I don’t wake up exhausted, I have less joint pain and I sleep better! I’m on my second round and couldn’t imagine being without it now.

Kerry: Brain-fog Has Cleared*

I was becoming incredibly discouraged with traditional medicine and philosophies that didn’t seem to relieve my peri-menopausal symptoms.  BHRT pellets have completely turned my life around! I no longer experience night sweats, crippling fatigue, and the intense itching sensation all over my skin. No more insomnia! My sleep schedule is back on track, and the daily brain-fog seems to have cleared. Most importantly, balancing my hormones has enabled me to avoid an invasive pelvic reconstruction surgery which had been recommended by specialists to alleviate the “old-lady” symptoms caused by estrogen deficiencies. Once again I have the energy to enjoy my former physical activities. This girl isn’t ready to slow down yet! I highly recommend this for all of my friends and family who may be dealing with similar issues! I’m so happy I did!

Penny: Great Results with the Hormone Therapy

I came to Dr. Scinta about the weight loss program and I have had great success. At one of my appointments she mentioned the hormone replacement therapy. I decided after my blood work and where my levels were at that I should give it a try. I was hoping it would improve some of my symptoms. I have had great results with the hormone therapy. I have had better focus and concentration. My energy levels increased. But the best part was my increased libido! I feel twenty years younger. I would and have recommended to friends. I’m going next week to get my next dose. Give it a try and I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed!

Gina Testimonial on hormones for women

Gina: Experience was Very Positive

When I found out that Dr. Scinta was going to be offering bio identical hormones, I couldn’t wait to be in line. I had read about them over the years, thinking that they would never be available here. So, I signed up! I had the necessary blood work, when I got the results, I had the hormones of an 82 year old woman, I’m 47! I made the appointment for the insertion, which is a minor surgical procedure, but waiting for it was very difficult. A whole two weeks!

I woke up very excited that day. No more old biddy, lack of hormones for me! I put on a nice young outfit, did my hair and makeup, and went to my appointment. They first put you in a room, explain the procedure, and get you prepared. They clean your hip, numb the area, and then inject the pellet/s. They cover the area with some gauze and a band-aid, and that’s it! You have to be careful for a few days, low activity and don’t get the area wet. On my second insertion, I tried a funny experiment that actually worked. On Discovery Channel they said that coughing and pain travel along the same nerves, so when you get a shot, cough and you will not feel pain. The procedure didn’t really bother me, but I tried it. It completely worked! I couldn’t even tell if they had done it yet, which I though was pretty great. Just in case anyone else wants to try it.

My experience was very positive! Within a week, I noticed my skin was less dry, and I felt like I had more clarity of mind. I’ve always had a great relations with my husband, but holy cow, at the 3-4 week mark, you will want more relations! I’ve had problems with my thyroid, and I’ve found that it is more leveled out. I feel like I have more energy, and I sleep better. I’ve lost a few more pounds that I’ve been struggling with, and I’ve also been able to eat less sugar because I feel less fat. -which helps you lose more weight.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Scinta for 7 years, and I’m 7 pounds from goal weight. I’ve never gained the weight back. I started at 197, I now weigh around 147. I don’t know where I would be without all of the staff here, it’s all about the knowledge and support!

Sandra Success Story

Sandra: I Couldn't Believe the Results After Only a Few Days*

I should have realized that my insomnia was hormone related when I would be chatting with all of my high school friends on Facebook at 3:00 am because none of us were sleeping. I was also continually getting to the middle of a sentence and literally “losing” a word.

“You know, that thing on your wrist that tells time”?  But couldn’t remember the word for watch. I happened to pick up a brochure for the hormone replacement pellets and asked Dr. Scinta if she thought they might help when I saw so many of the things I was experiencing listed on the symptoms in the brochure. I was actually relieved that I wasn’t going crazy when blood work confirmed  that hormone levels were likely the cause for what my kids referred to  as “old lady brain” (I guess they weren’t far off!)

I couldn’t believe the results after only a few days!  I was actually going to bed and falling asleep before midnight!  And sleeping until my alarm went off. One weekend I didn’t wake up until after 10 am. I must have been so sleep deprived for so long I had some catching up to do! And I would get to a point in a sentence when I was sure I was going to get lost, and I could actually finish my thought!

Unbelievable!  I really knew they had been working when it came time to re-new.  I told Dr. Scinta that I never realized how bad I was feeling before until I was feeling better, and then they wore off and  I was without them again. We won’t let that happen again.
