Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Take back your vitality with BHRT

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the body. It is typically used to treat hormonal imbalances and deficiencies in both men and women.

How Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Works

BHRT works by replacing the hormones that may be lacking or out of balance in the body. This can be done through various methods such as pills, creams, gels, patches, or injections. The goal of BHRT is to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.

Treatment Conditions for Men

BHRT can be used to treat a variety of conditions in men, including:

  • Andropause (male menopause)
  • Low testosterone levels
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Muscle loss and weakness

In addition to the conditions mentioned above, BHRT can also be beneficial for men who are experiencing symptoms of andropause or male menopause. This is a natural decrease in testosterone levels that typically occurs in men over the age of 50, although it can happen at any age. Symptoms of andropause may include fatigue, low energy, weight gain, and decreased muscle mass.

BHRT can help alleviate these symptoms by restoring testosterone levels to a more optimal range. This not only improves physical symptoms but can also have positive effects on mood and cognitive function.

Treatment Conditions for Women

BHRT is commonly used to treat hormonal imbalances and deficiencies in women, such as:

  • Menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings)
  • PMS symptoms (irritability, bloating, cramps)
  • Low libido
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Osteoporosis

For women, BHRT is often used to address symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. It can also be effective in managing symptoms of PMS, such as irritability and bloating.

In addition to relieving these symptoms, BHRT may also have a positive impact on bone health. As women age and go through menopause, their estrogen levels decrease which can lead to a higher risk of osteoporosis. By restoring hormonal balance through BHRT, this risk may be reduced.

Pellet Placement Pricing

Hormones are administered through a small pellet inserted into your glute or hip, which is replaced every 3-6 months. Lab work is scheduled six weeks after the initial pellet insertion. Subsequent pellet insertions are then scheduled about every three to six months. Pricing and scheduling follow an annual repetition.

  • Female Pellets: $425 per placement
  • Male Pellets: $725 per placement

This does not include the cost of follow-up appointments, lab reviews, or post-pellet labs required after the initial placement. Treatment costs may vary depending on treatment modality as determined by provider.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Natural Hormonal Balance
Because bioidentical hormones are identical in structure to the hormones produced by the body, they are better tolerated and can provide more effective results compared to synthetic hormones.
Individualized Treatment
BHRT is tailored to each individual's specific hormone levels and needs, allowing for a personalized approach to treatment.
Improved Quality of Life
By restoring hormonal balance, BHRT can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and low libido, leading to an improved overall quality of life.
Potential Reduced Risk of Health Complications
Hormonal imbalances have been linked to various health conditions such as heart disease and osteoporosis. By addressing these imbalances through BHRT, there may be a reduced risk of developing these conditions.
How long does it take to see results from BHRT?

Results can vary for each individual, but most people start to notice improvements within a few weeks to months of starting treatment.

Are there any side effects of BHRT?

Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as breast tenderness or bloating, but these typically subside after the first few weeks of treatment.

Can men benefit from BHRT even if they have normal testosterone levels?

Yes, BHRT can still be effective in addressing other hormone imbalances or deficiencies in men.

How often do I need to take BHRT?

The frequency of treatment varies for each individual and depends on the specific hormone levels being addressed. We will work with you to determine the best course of treatment.
