BHRT helps balance hormones naturally, improving energy, mood, and overall well-being. Patients often experience relief from common symptoms of hormonal imbalance, leading to better health and quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This similarity allows for better absorption and fewer side effects compared to synthetic or animal-derived hormones. Traditional hormone replacement therapy often includes synthetic hormones that may not match the body’s natural chemistry as closely as bioidentical hormones do.
Results from BHRT vary depending on the individual, but many patients start noticing improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within a few weeks. More significant benefits, such as weight management and enhanced libido, typically become noticeable after a few months. Regular follow-ups and hormone level adjustments help ensure optimal results over time.
When properly prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, BHRT is considered a safe and effective treatment for hormone imbalances. However, like any medical treatment, it carries some risks, which will be discussed during your consultation. Regular lab testing and follow-ups are essential to ensure proper dosing and minimize any potential side effects.
BHRT is available in several forms, including creams, gels, patches, oral capsules, injections, and pellet implants. The best option depends on individual health needs, preferences, and how the body responds to treatment.
