Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the hormonal imbalances of perimenopause and menopause. When hormone levels drop, women can experience a range of disruptive symptoms. BHRT aims to provide menopause relief by restoring hormonal balance using hormones derived from plant sources that are identical to those your body produces naturally.
This therapy can change your life! It is used to address hormonal deficiencies that lead to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. It can also help with anxiety, depression, insomnia, joint pain, brain fog, and difficulty losing weight.
Hormones play a critical role in regulating everything from mood to metabolism. Our primary goal is to alleviate menopausal symptoms, improving your quality of life and helping you feel balanced. BHRT can improve aspects of overall well-being, including energy levels and focus. Our treatment helps address issues like dry/itchy skin, thinning hair, and low libido (sex drive).
How is it administered? BHRT is not one-size-fits-all. Compounded bioidentical hormones are tailored to your individual needs. After a mandatory consultation, your treatment may be administered through topical creams, patches, injections, or subcutaneous implanted pellets.
Our physician assistant will review your symptoms, health history, and lab results to create a personalized treatment plan. You’ll discuss options like pills, creams, injections, or pellets to restore hormonal balance and improve well-being.
We also use the DUTCH test to get a comprehensive analysis of your current hormone levels.
The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a diagnostic test that provides a detailed look at your hormone levels and how they are metabolized in your body. It evaluates key hormones, including those related to stress and reproduction, as well as their pathways, offering a complete picture of your hormonal health. This allows us to develop a customized hormone therapy plan to address concerns such as low energy, stress, irregular cycles, and other hormone-related symptoms.
