Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

What are hormones?

Hormones are like messengers in your body. They travel through your blood to organs and tissues, helping control things like growth, mood, energy, and reproduction. When these messengers are out of balance, you might not feel your best.

What Is Hormone Imbalance?

Sometimes, your body doesn't make the right amount of hormones. This imbalance can cause symptoms like:

  • Feeling tired all the time

  • Gaining weight without a clear reason or not responding to diet and exercise

  • Mood swings or feeling down

  • Trouble sleeping

  • Hot flashes or night sweats

  • Low interest in sex

  • Brain fog or trouble focusing

  • Worsening joint pain

  • Worsening (or new onset) anxiety and/or depression without a cause

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT is a treatment that uses hormones made from plants. These hormones are designed to be identical to the ones your body naturally produces. The goal is to restore balance and help you feel better.

​

How Is BHRT Given?

There are several ways to receive BHRT:

  • Pills: Taken by mouth

  • Creams or Gels: Applied to the skin or inserted vaginally

  • Patches: Stick to your skin and release hormones

  • Pellets: Tiny, sterile implants placed under the skin that release hormones over time

 

While our prescribers have experience in all forms of BHRT/HRT, we often use pellet therapy because it provides a steady release of hormones, helping reduce the ups and downs that can come with other methods.

Who Can Benefit from BHRT?

 

Both women and men can experience hormone imbalances. BHRT may help if you're dealing with:

  • Constant fatigue

  • Weight gain

  • Mood changes

  • Sleep problems

  • Brain fog or memory concerns

  • Joint pain

  • Low libido (sex drive)

  • Hot flashes or night sweats

  • Vaginal dryness or burning or discomfort with intimacy​

 

Is BHRT Safe?

While no treatment is without risks, many people find relief with BHRT when it's carefully monitored by a healthcare provider. The hormones used are FDA-approved, but the specific therapy might not be. Our pellets are not covered by insurance. Most compounded options (including cream) also are not covered.
