The Goal of BHRT

Putting you back into balance

As we age, our hormone levels naturally decrease. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy – or BHRT – provides your body with an adequate supply of a deficient hormone in a form that is molecularly identical to that which your body produces. Because bioidentical hormones replicate the chemical structure of the hormones they are replacing, the hormone’s normal healthy physiologic effects are restored. Because every person is unique and hormone levels vary, we customize a BHRT program for each patient based on symptoms, consultation, an evaluation of laboratory blood tests, and the identification of optimal hormone levels. While the general goal of BHRT is to return your hormones to optimal levels, specific goals include:

• Alleviating of the symptoms caused by decreased production of hormones, such as mood swings, sleep problems, night sweats, decreased libido and sexual function, increased body fat, hot flashes, and anxiety.
• Re-establishing the protective benefits that were originally provided by higher levels of your naturally occurring hormones, including cardiovascular health, immune function, balance, and bone density.
• Reversing diseases associated with aging, such as osteoporosis, exercise intolerance, loss of strength, decreasing muscle mass, fatigue, and mental clarity.
• Enhancing your quality of life, sense of well-being, and enjoyment.
