Additional Information

DrErika.com is a privately held company owned by Erika T. Schwartz, M.D., a New York City-based internal medicine physician who has earned a reputation as a leading pioneer and expert in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Her informational Web site at

www.DrErika.com provides the public with access to her medical advice, educational resources, health products and nutritional supplements. The site also offers access to online doctors’ visits with Dr. Erika, who provides individualized, medically proven solutions to help men and women optimize their health by balancing their hormones. Dr. Erika established the educational resource to raise awareness of key issues regarding hormones, including:

• Hormone balance can help optimize health and defy the aging process. As they age, most people begin to suffer from common symptoms such as low energy and libido, weight gain, hot flashes and diminished vitality. They aren’t aware that these symptoms are caused by age-related hormone imbalances, and that restoring the right hormone balance can help them maintain good health, prevent disease and ease menopause in women and andropause in men.

• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is key. Dr. Erika has used her proprietary bioidentical hormone replacement program during the past 15 years to help more than 15,000 patients achieve their optimal health, look and feel younger and boost their energy and sex drive. Dr. Erika’s bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and designed to be biologically identical (hence “bioidentical”) to the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone produced naturally by the human body. Her bioidentical hormones are compounded at one single laboratory that Dr. Erika personally certified to have the highest standards for quality and consistency. Her naturally derived hormones are completely safe and differ from synthetic hormones, which proved in medical studies and research by the National Institutes of Health and other organizations to pose significant health concerns.

• Choosing doctors with the right training is critical. Dr. Erika treats many patients who had become ill after being treated by doctors and lay people without the right training and qualifications to prescribe bioidentical hormones. As a leading patients’ rights advocate and respected authority in this field, Dr. Erika works tirelessly to help educate the public on these issues and raise awareness of the need to choose physicians with the proper training and who work with laboratories with the highest standards for quality and consistency of the bioidentical hormone formulations. An extension of the ideas and techniques Dr. Erika employs in her medical practice, DrErika.com is a source of information, advice and community interaction for women and men with regard to issues of health, wellness and particularly the importance of hormonal balance to physical and psychological health. The site also markets and sells the five books published by Dr. Erika, as well as a non-prescription progesterone cream and more than a dozen “nutraceuticals” (nutritional supplements and vitamins) that support the regimen and protocols Dr. Erika designed in 1994.

DrErika.com differs from other sites devoted to bioidentical hormone balance. It is the only such enterprise headed by a practicing physician, and one who takes an active day-to-day role in its operation, personally treating in her office and online via virtual consultation all aspects of her patients’ health. Her BHRT program has a proven track record derived from its effectiveness in treatment of more than 15,000 patients during the past 15 years. Furthermore, in producing the bioidentical hormones, Dr. Erika works with only one laboratory, which she has personally certified as the best in the country in terms of accuracy, consistency and purity of the hormone formulations.

Another key differentiator is the friendly, personal attention, evaluation and care provided by Dr. Erika. Through the site’s unique “Inner Circle” online community, patients can consult directly with Dr. Erika, inquire about any health and lifestyle issues that concern them and establish strong patient-doctor bonds that last a lifetime. Building on this personal relationship, DrErika.com provides a significant body of resources and links and has created a tight-knit community of women and men of all ages who support each other in their quest for absolute health and wellness.
