What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
(BHRT)?
BHRT isn’t a drug treatment; it’s a natural way to replenish the hormones in your body that have diminished over time. By doing this, BHRT can reverse the symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies. Having your hormones in balance will leave you feeling younger, happier, and ready to take on anything life throws your way.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants, and they’re engineered to mimic the hormones that your body produces on its own. With bioidentical hormones, your body should not be able to tell the difference between the hormones it produces and the bioidentical ones. Bioidentical hormones not only correct your hormone levels, but they also do it without the serious health risks associated with synthetic hormones.

Men can also greatly benefit from hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones. There’s no way to know if BHRT is the right treatment for you without consulting a highly trained medical professional. However, if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms of male hormone imbalance, you may be a candidate:
● Loss of muscle mass
● Increase and redistribution of fat (more around the abdomen)
● Lowered sex drive
● Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
● Decrease in motivation
● Decreased bone density
● Loss of self-confidence
● Trouble concentrating or remembering things
● Fatigue
● Irritability
● Difficulty sleeping

These are by no means all of the symptoms, but chances are, if you’re dealing with one or more of these, you may have a hormone imbalance that we can correct with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement for Women
How do imbalanced hormones affect Women: your body, your mind, and your life?
Hormones send chemical messages throughout your bloodstream to your tissues or organs, to tell them precisely what to do and how to do it. They affect growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, and mood. All of your hormones work synergistically: When one hormone is out of balance, other hormones can be affected.
One of the most common ways that hormones become imbalanced is through the natural process of aging. As women approach menopause, the body produces less estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and other vital hormones. You may think it’s just “the way it has to be”: night sweats, low sex drive, hot flashes, decreased memory, depression, poor sleep, dry skin… on and on. Yet these symptoms can all be corrected through bioidentical hormone replacement
Other factors can create hormonal imbalance in women: diet, lifestyle, illness, stress, pregnancy, a full hysterectomy, even certain medications. Bioidentical hormones, in conjunction with diet and lifestyle changes, can restore the balance and, thus, your quality of life.
