Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider, and it can offer significant benefits for those struggling with hormone imbalances. BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally, which allows for a more balanced and natural approach to hormone replacement compared to synthetic alternatives.

Recent clinical studies support the safety and effectiveness of BHRT, particularly in managing symptoms of menopause, fatigue, mood swings, and other hormone-related issues. Research has shown that BHRT, when personalized and carefully monitored, carries a lower risk of side effects compared to traditional hormone therapies. We stay up to date with the latest studies and medical guidelines to ensure that our practices reflect the most current, evidence-based recommendations.

At our practice, we take a thorough and individualized approach to treatment. We start by conducting comprehensive lab testing to assess your hormone levels and health history. Based on this, we create a tailored treatment plan specifically for you. Throughout the process, we monitor your progress closely with follow-up visits and lab tests to ensure your hormone levels are balanced safely and effectively.

Our focus is on your health and comfort. We understand that hormone therapy can feel like a big step, so we make sure to answer any questions you have, guide you through each stage, and ensure you feel confident and supported. You can trust that we are always committed to providing you with the safest, most effective care based on the latest clinical research

When we're young and having menstrual irregularities or having sx of hormone imbalance, it's not a sign that we need to replace your hormones but more that your hormones need optimized. Often, hormones are not communicating correctly and the ovaires are confused. In these cases, supplementation and nutrition work wonderfully in optimizing the ovaries. 

If you’re not a good candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), we’ll explore other options that are better suited to your unique needs. Not everyone is an ideal candidate for BHRT, and that’s perfectly okay. We understand that each person’s body is different, which is why we take a thorough, personalized approach to your health.

Before recommending BHRT, we conduct detailed lab tests and a comprehensive health evaluation to determine whether it's the best option for you. If we find that BHRT may not be suitable—due to factors like existing medical conditions, hormone imbalances that require different treatment, or other considerations—we will work with you to explore other potential therapies and lifestyle adjustments.

There are numerous ways to address hormonal imbalances, including dietary changes, nutritional supplements, stress management, and other non-hormonal treatments. Our priority is to find a solution that works for you, ensuring that you feel your best in the safest way possible.

At the conclusion of your program, we will work with you to decide on an ongoing course of treatment to keep you on your path to a healthier you.
