Hormone Therapy

Biodentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones identical to those produced naturally by your body. Bioidentical hormones use a range of natural ingredients —like plants and compounded hormones— to supplement your system with hormones that are an exact match for those already in your body. Unlike most synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are immediately recognized as hormones and absorbed by the body —often yielding faster and more noticeable results.

As opposed to synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by your body and offer more effective symptom relief than synthetic hormones, with fewer risks and side effects. Another important difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormone replacement is that bioidentical hormones can be custom compounded to your unique needs, symptoms, and lifestyle. Synthetic hormones are standardized, with a limited number of available dosages and formulas.

Hormone replacement essentially is replacing the deficient hormone to be in the “normal” lab range to correct deficiencies.

Unlike hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which essentially replaces the deficient hormone to be in the “normal” lab range to correct deficiencies; hormone optimization not only replaces hormones, but safely optimizes levels to help you feel the most optimal. Many people have symptoms of hormonal imbalances even when their lab test results still show them as “in range”. With hormonal optimization we safely prescribe hormone therapy to optimize your hormonal levels, health and wellbeing – especially when your lab tests are normal but you don’t feel normal.
