Bioidentical Hormones Therapy

Bioidentical hormones replicate the body’s natural hormones to relieve symptoms of low or imbalanced hormones, particularly during perimenopause or menopause. They play a crucial role in bodily functions, and even minor imbalances can cause disruptions. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) mainly uses plant-derived hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

How Do BHRT and HRT Work Differently?

Diagnosing hormone imbalances can be difficult for both men and women. Today, experts typically recommend two main types of treatment:

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):

    Uses synthetic hormones with a different structure from those your body produces.

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT):

    Uses plant-based hormones that are chemically identical to your body's natural hormones.

For over 30 years, BHRT has helped ease symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain associated with perimenopause, menopause, and andropause. Research on BHRT's long-term effectiveness is ongoing.

Treatment includes Injections, creams, gel, and oral medication as well as Medical Grade Supplements

Why is BHRT better than traditional HRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is considered better than traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) because it mirrors the body's natural hormones, potentially leading to fewer side effects and better symptom relief. Studies suggest that synthetic hormones may increase health risks. BHRT may also provide additional benefits, including:
