Dr. Mercedes Schaafsma is the Chief Medical Officer of The Miami Anti-aging and Metabolic Institute. She specializes in bio-identical hormone replacement: menopause and andropause and metabolic medicine. She prescribes bioidentical hormones, as well as order tests (salivary, blood spot, serum or urine) from FDA approved facilities.
The use of bio-identical hormones is specially indicated in the treatment of menopause/andropause. Firstly bioidentical hormones are more efficacious as they are easier to metabolize; secondly bioidentical hormones are indigenous to the human body so when we supply it with bio-identical compounds the body's immune system does not mount an inflammatory response as it will consider the bio-identical compound one of its own.
The Institute of Anti-aging and Metabolic Medicine will improve your health and wellbeing by applying biochemical body analysis, the use of bio-identical hormones, body-mind integrative medicine and genomic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
In essence we will treat you as the unique individual you are with a unique set of chromosomes and genomic expression.
