Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) vs. Conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Initially, let’s answer the uncertainty of what are hormones? Hormones are the body’s vital chemical messengers. Traveling all the way through the bloodstream to the tissues and organs, hormones regulate mood, sexual function, metabolism, growth, and development. Even slight changes in natural hormone levels can have significant outcomes.

When these vital hormones become unstable, often due to the natural aging process, a mass of issues can arise. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective and established solution to hormone imbalance.

Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is established on the practice of using synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormones are artificial, chemically-created hormones which are often patented. Therefore, treatment for every patient is indistinguishable and not custom-made to their specific needs.

On the other side of the spectrum are bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical hormones are hormones derived from plant sources and designed to have the same molecular structure as the natural hormones produced by the body. This identical structure ensures that bioidentical hormones fit into the body’s receptors flawlessly, initiating the same practical sequence as endogenous hormones, providing better-personalized hormone treatment results, and reducing the risk of side effects.

Selecting a more natural hormone regimen such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy as opposed to a synthetic hormone replacement therapy offers patients a better overall bioidentical hormone experience with fewer hostile reactions and only mild side effects. Some of the most evident benefits of using bioidentical hormones include:

• Better upkeep of muscle mass and strength*
• Boosted mood, concentration, and memory*
• Improved cholesterol levels*
• Amplified libido*
• Decrease in hot flashes and vaginal dryness*
• Reduced osteoporosis and restoration of bone strength*
• Lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease*
• Relief from insomnia*

What Causes Hormonal Imbalance?

When hormone levels become imbalanced, either due to the aging process, toxic exposures, or a health condition, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a viable solution for replacing hormones that the body is no longer able to produce on its own.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Women who have reached perimenopause or menopause often deal with a myriad of uncomfortable symptoms related to hormone imbalance. During these transitions, levels can fluctuate substantially leading to high testosterone in women (low testosterone in women too!), estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiencies, and thyroid symptoms in women can become apparent as well. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can restore natural hormone balance and women can expect some very positive and dramatic benefits such as:

• Relief from Menopause symptoms*
• Reduced hot flashes*
• Boosted libido*
• Improved brain function**
• Reduced risk of osteoporosis*
• Improved skin and muscle tone*

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Among men, the symptoms of hormone imbalance often occur slowly and are classically dismissed as signs of aging. The most common form of hormone insufficiency is low testosterone in men. Symptoms of low testosterone in men can emerge as hair loss, low libido, muscle loss, and fatigue. These signs of low testosterone begin to compile around midlife, robbing men of vitality and impairing health. Men are primarily affected by declines in testosterone that are a result of the aging process, but men may also experience similar symptoms due to fluctuations in cortisol or thyroid hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy offers men the opportunity to restore natural hormone levels and experience numerous health and quality of life benefits, including:

• Decreased risk of heart disease and stroke*
• Enhanced desire for sex*
• Increased lean muscle and muscle strength*
• Clearer focus and concentration*
• Improved cognitive function*
• Stabilized moods*
• Reduced body fat*
