Bio identical hormone therapy

. what is Bioidentical hormone replacement?Unlike traditional hormone therapy, which may use synthetic versions or animal-derived hormones , BHRT is designed to mimic the body's natural molecular structure.Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body, typically derived from plant sources like soy or yams

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a strong candidate for BHRT if you are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance that significantly impact your quality of life.

• Menopausal & Perimenopausal Women: Ideal for managing severe hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
• Men with "Low T": Men experiencing decreased libido, chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, or "brain fog" due to low testosterone.
• Individuals with Early Menopause: Those who enter menopause before age 40 (primary ovarian insufficiency) or undergo surgical removal of the ovaries before age 45.
• Those Seeking "Natural" Alternatives: Patients who prefer plant-based, molecularly identical options over synthetic traditional hormones.

Key Signs You Might Benefit

• Sleep & Energy: Chronic insomnia and persistent fatigue despite adequate rest.
• Mood & Cognition: Frequent irritability, anxiety, unexplained depression, or "brain fog".
• Physical Changes: Unexplained weight gain (especially in the midsection), loss of muscle mass, or thinning hair and dry skin.
• Bone Health: Individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, as estrogen can help protect against bone loss.

Important Considerations & Risks

A healthcare provider will determine candidacy through blood, saliva, or urine tests to establish a baseline.

• Medical History Constraints: You may not be a candidate if you have a personal or strong family history of breast cancer, blood clots, heart disease, stroke, or liver disease.
• FDA Approval: Many bioidentical hormones are FDA-approved, but "custom-compounded" versions mixed by individual pharmacies are not and may have inconsistent purity or dosing.
• Side Effects: Initial side effects can include acne, bloating, breast tenderness, or headaches as the body adjusts.
