Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a medically supervised treatment designed to help restore hormonal balance in individuals experiencing hormone deficiencies or imbalances. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body and are prescribed based on individual clinical needs.
BHRT is intended to address symptoms related to hormonal changes and support overall health and quality of life.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are formulated to match the molecular structure of naturally occurring human hormones. Treatment plans are customized based on a patient’s medical history, symptoms, and laboratory testing.
BHRT may be prescribed for both men and women when clinically appropriate.
How BHRT Works
Treatment begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation and diagnostic lab testing to assess hormone levels. Based on these findings, a licensed medical provider develops an individualized treatment plan aimed at restoring hormones to a healthy physiological range.
Ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits are an essential part of therapy to evaluate effectiveness, adjust dosing, and ensure safety.
Who May Be a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for BHRT if you are experiencing symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance, such as:
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Mood changes or irritability
Sleep disturbances
Decreased libido
Difficulty concentrating
Weight changes related to hormonal factors
Not all patients are candidates for hormone therapy. Eligibility is determined through clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, and medical history review.
