Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, often called BHRT, is a treatment option designed to help restore hormone balance when natural levels decline or fluctuate. Hormones play a role in many body functions, including energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and bone health. When levels change, people may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, low libido, hot flashes, or difficulty concentrating.
BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones are typically derived from plant sources and are prescribed in doses tailored to each individual. Treatment may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a combination, depending on symptoms, lab results, and health history.
Care begins with a thorough medical evaluation and appropriate testing to understand current hormone levels. Therapy is then customized and adjusted over time, with ongoing monitoring to support safety and effectiveness. The goal is not to reverse aging, but to relieve disruptive symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is not one size fits all. A qualified medical provider can help determine whether this approach is appropriate and guide patients through a thoughtful, personalized treatment plan. Many patients appreciate the collaborative approach and communication throughout the care process and follow up.
