Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the use of plant-based, non-synthetic hormones to treat often debilitating symptoms of aging. These hormones are identical in structure and function to hormones that are naturally produced in the body. BHRT is typically used to replace declining hormone levels (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) in women during perimenopause and menopause. This personalized treatment can significantly reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, enhancing overall quality of life for many women. HRT in women also helps mitigate the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular issues by maintaining bone density and supporting heart health. In men, a loss of testosterone with aging may present in decreased muscle mass and strength, depression, lack of energy, low libido and weak erections.
With individualized plans and various delivery methods available, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy offers a valuable option for managing difficult symptoms of aging.
