Our menopause and hormone clinic on East Paris Ave supports women throughout Grand Rapids, Kentwood, and Cascade Township with personalized hormone therapy that restores balance and wellbeing.
Dr. Gustav Lo founded RegenCen after more than 30 years in primary care, driven by the need for stronger solutions to women’s hormonal changes. We use lab-guided dosing and personalized hormone replacement to improve daily life and protect long-term health.
Treatment options include bioidentical hormone pellets, topical estrogen and testosterone, and supportive therapies to maintain strength through every stage of menopause. Our Menopause Certified Providers in the Grand Rapids region complete advanced clinical training including hands-on bootcamp and weekly rounds led by Dr. Lo so that every patient receives expert, science-backed care.

FDA Removes Black Box Warning from HRT After Reviewing New Evidence
The FDA acknowledged that older studies caused unnecessary fear around hormone therapy. Their updated guidance recognizes that appropriate use of HRT does not increase breast cancer mortality.
This correction supports what specialists have advocated for decades.
Why Women in West Michigan Benefit
Research shows hormone therapy can:
- Reduce the risk of cardiac-related death by 50 percent
- Significantly lower the risk of fracture from weak bones
- Help protect cognitive function as women age
- Provide no increase in breast cancer mortality risk
If you live in 49546, Kentwood, or Caledonia and want to maintain your physical and mental health, hormone therapy can help.
