Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) For Women

BHRT may be worth exploring if you're experiencing symptoms linked to hormonal imbalance, including:

• Hot flashes or night sweats

• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability

• Low libido

• Fatigue or low energy

• Difficulty sleeping

• Brain fog or trouble concentrating

• Weight changes or difficulty losing weight

• Irregular or absent menstrual cycles (for women still cycling)

• Vaginal dryness or discomfort

These symptoms can show up during perimenopause, menopause, andropause, or from other hormonal shifts — for both women and men. BHRT uses hormones structurally identical to what your body naturally produces, and may help support balance and relief from these symptoms.

Candidacy isn't based on symptoms alone — it's confirmed through comprehensive lab testing and a personalized consultation with our medical team to map out the right approach for you. Individual results vary.

Hormone balancing is the process of restoring and maintaining the delicate balance of hormones in a woman’s body. Hormones can become imbalanced for a number of health reasons and at any age. We are typically seeing younger women in their 30’s and 40’s with low levels of hormones or imbalances due to stress, lifestyle, or other medical issues.

Hormone balancing is especially important in menopause, as hormone levels drop and lead to many uncomfortable symptoms, balancing or replacing hormones can not only help to ease many of the symptoms associated with this transition, but also help prevent many long-term aging issues made worse by low or deficient hormone levels.

Timelines vary by treatment and by individual, but here's a general guide for BHRT:

Symptom relief (hot flashes, sleep, mood) is often noticeable within 2–4 weeks, with continued improvement over the following 2–3 months as levels are fine-tuned.

Natural ways to balance hormones include modifications to your diet, using specific supplements and nutrients, seed cycling to rebalance the menstrual cycle, peptides, and lifestyle modifications. For instance, adding healthy fats like omega-3s and fatty acids can help your body rebalance, and cycling seeds that mimic estrogens and progesterones can support your body’s current levels. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as incorporating a physical fitness routine, stress management, and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule can positively affect overall hormonal balance.

A standard treatment plan involves taking bio-identical hormones either orally or topically. Many women also choose to use pellet therapy or inject. The way you support or replace your hormones is based on the best option for you and what works best for your lifestyle. We always include dietary, lifestyle, and supplement changes as well to optimize your treatment outcomes.

Bio-identical hormone therapy is a hormone replacement therapy that uses hormones that are derived from yam or soy rather than synthetic material or chemicals. These products are seen as identical to the ones produced by the human body, allowing them to be more readily accepted by the body and eliminating the risk of side effects associated with synthetic hormones.

Bio-identical hormone therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, including menopause, perimenopause, and adrenal insufficiency. It can also be used to improve fertility, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Side effects from bioidentical hormone therapy are rare but can include initial weight gain, bloating, headaches, and mood swings. If you experience any serious side effects, you should stop taking the hormones and consult your provider.

It's important to talk to your provider about whether bioidentical hormone therapy is right for you. If you're considering this type of therapy, ask about potential risks and side effects.
