WHAT IS BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormonal Replacement Therapy

The Hormone Replacement Therapy replenishes the levels of hormones that fluctuate and decline with aging.

It’s a form of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are on the same molecular level/ chemically identical to those that human body produces. BHRT is often used to treat symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and other hormonal imbalances in both women and men. Improves quality of life, including energy levels, mood, congnitive function and sexual health.

BHRT begins with testing to assess hormone levels, usually through blood, saliva, or urine tests. Those tests help determine the specific hormonal deficiencies or imbalances. Based on test results and symptoms, healthcare providers develop a personalized treatment plan. Common bioidentical hormones used include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones or adrenal hormones like DHEA. There are different administartaion methods: creams, gels, patches, pills, injections… etc.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BHRT?

A good candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is typically someone experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, or low libido, particularly during menopause or andropause. They may have tried other treatments without success or prefer a more individualized approach to hormone therapy. Additionally, candidates should be in good overall health and have hormone levels that indicate a need for supplementation, as determined through blood tests and medical evaluation by a healthcare provider. It’s crucial for candidates to discuss their medical history and concerns with a healthcare provider to determine if BHRT is the right option for them.
