As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce. Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function – such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more. When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms, using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.

Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause, while many men may experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, known as andropause. Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

BHRT Methods

After an office visit to discuss symptoms and lab work, we will determine dosage and work with you to determine the best method for your lifestyle. We work with a number of specialty compound pharmacies to ensure you’re getting the highest quality, cost effective therapy.

• Creams

• Injections

• Capsules

• Pellet therapy

While any form of BHRT is a step in the right direction when your hormones are imbalanced, certain methods may work better for you than others. Each person is different, and their needs may change over time. This is why it is important to have an individualized program designed for each person.

Benefits of BHRT in Men and Women

Restoring a person’s hormonal balance helps to alleviate common symptoms, improve overall health and create a sense of well-being that may be missing. BHRT patients report:
• Enhancement of libido and/or increased sexual drive
• An increase in lean body mass and a decrease in body fat
• Greater capacity for getting in shape
• Consistency in moods – reduction in feelings of anger, nervousness and irritability
• Increased mental focus, clarity and concentration
• Improved memory
• Increase sense of overall well-being
• Better quality of life
• Decreased hot flashes and night sweats in women

Pellet Therapy

The only method that allows the body to control the release of hormones – raising levels when more hormone is needed and decreasing it when requiring less.
• Delivers a very low dose of hormones continuously, 24/7.
• Releases hormones directly into the bloodstream, thereby passing the gastrointestinal system and liver.
• Consistently proven more effective than oral, injected, or topical methods with regard to sexual function, mood and cognitive function, metabolic function, bone density, urinary and vaginal problems, lipid profiles, breast health and hormone ratios.
• Decades of positive research show bio identical hormone pellets to be safe and the most effective hormone delivery method available when properly administered. In fact, hormone pellets are the only form of hormone therapy to closely mimic what the human ovary and testicle do.

Our pellets are compounded according to the highest industry standards, using the best quality botanical ingredients available. Pellets are specifically formulated to replicate human hormones. No horse urine or fillers like synthetic hormones of the past. Just pure, biologically identical hormones — plain and simple.
