Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Hormone Replacement
Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment approach that involves using hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body.
FACTS ABOUT HORMONE THERAPY
BHRT is often used to address hormonal imbalances, particularly in menopause or andropause (male menopause), where the body’s production of hormones decreases.
Hormone imbalances can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings. BHRT can help alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
BHRT offers a more natural and individualized approach to hormone replacement compared to conventional hormone therapy, which often uses inferior, and potentially more harmful synthetic therapies. Bioidentical hormones have fewer side effects and are more effective in restoring hormonal balance.
Who Is a Good Candidate For BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) may be appropriate for individuals who are experiencing hormonal imbalances or deficiencies.
One of the most common hormonal imbalance issues in men is low testosterone. While it is well-known that normal testosterone levels are necessary for a healthy sex drive. More importantly, a healthy level of testosterone is essential for continued, overall holistic well-being in men.
Each year, around 1.5 million women in the U.S. begin perimenopause, the transitional phase to menopause. Perimenopause can start in one’s 30s due to natural hormonal decline. Harmonizing the levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, BHRT helps restore hormonal balance for women, which can alleviate symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause to improve quality of life.

BHRT has been shown to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and can lead to fractures. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sexual function, reduce the symptoms of menopause, improve cognitive function, and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
By taking your hormones seriously, you can take control of your health and enjoy a better quality of life.
