Dr. Gustav Lo on the top 5 treatments at his regenerative medical practice: 1. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy Hands down, bioidentical hormones are the foundation of regenerative medicine.

When women are considering bioidentical hormone repellent therapy (BHRT), they naturally think of estrogen – I mean, it’s THE female hormone, right?
