Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement (BHRT)

Complete Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy for Both Men and Women

Almost everyone over the age of 40 begin to experience hormone imbalances and deficiencies. Over our lifetime, we are exposed to environmental and dietary toxins, which contribute to the natural decline of hormones as we age. In order to balance your hormones for optimal health and wellness, it is critical to be evaluated by a highly trained physician—including comprehensive lab testing and in-depth initial questionnaires—prior to creating a personalized treatment plan.

Who Needs Bio-Identical Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

As a result of hormone imbalance related to aging and environmental factors, you may be experiencing one or a combination of what have become known as the classic symptoms of hormonal decline:

  • Weight gain
  • Limited energy
  • Hair loss
  • Low sex drive
  • Depression
  • Mood swings
  • Sleeplessness
  • Poor concentration
  • Memory loss
  • Fatigue

 

What Does ‘Bio-Identical’ Mean?

The term “bioidentical” refers to hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body. Substances derived from plant tissues are created to precisely match our natural human hormones. The hormones are then compounded to promote safe and effective hormone delivery.

What Are the Benefits of BHRT?

The benefits of bioidentical hormones are vast.  Not only do patients feel much better almost immediately, but there are also many long term benefits of being on BHRT.  Bioidentical hormones are most commonly prescribed to treat symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, loss of libido, fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, bone loss and irritability.  

Some of the benefits of using bioidentical hormones include:

  • Reduced bone loss and improved bone density
  • Reduced incidence of hot flashes and vaginal dryness
  • Better maintenance of muscle mass and strength
  • Improved cholesterol levels
  • Reduced risk of endometrial and breast cancer
  • Reduced risk of depression
  • Improved sleep
  • Better mood, concentration and memory
  • Improved libido

Personalized Treatment Approach

Many patients opt for BHRT because it is not a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare. Each bioidentical hormone prescription is custom-compounded to each patient’s needs.

Our comprehensive evaluation process ensures that your BHRT protocol is specifically tailored to your unique hormonal profile, symptoms, and health goals, providing you with optimal results and minimal side effects.
