Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment used to supplement the body with various bioidentical hormones such as progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, testosterone, and pregnenolone.  BHRT is used primarily to treat symptoms of menopause but can also be used to treat migraines, PMS, infertility, acne and even psoriasis.

Many patients have benefited from the positive effects of BHRT.  Bioidentical hormones are formulated in a lab to have the same molecular structure as hormones made by your own body.  According to the law, pharmaceutical companies are not able to patent a bioidentical structure, so they invent patentable synthetic hormones (ie: Prempro, Progestin, Premarin, and Provera), which are significantly different than bioidentical hormones and have serious life threatening side effects.


Here is a short list of what bioidentical hormones have done for BHRT patients.

• Reduced anxiety
• Healthier and more youthful skin
• Decreased depression
• Fewer mood swings
• Better memory
• Less confusion and "foggy mind"
• More energy and stamina
• Menopause symptoms reduced or eliminated
• Improved quality of sleep
• PMS symptoms reduced or eliminated
• Better muscle definition
• Enhanced libido
• Balanced moods and fewer mood swings
• Normalization of weight
