Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is designed to improve the balance of your primary hormones that have depleted over the years and is based upon your body’s individual needs. Reduced levels of estrogen, testosterone and/or progesterone are restored so that your overall health is revived. The plant-derived compound offers a molecular match to the hormones that are naturally produced in our bodies and has very minimal if any side effects. Pellets, made from the wild yam plant, are time released and offer hormone balancing to improve deficiencies caused by the aging process. The Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy was first introduced in 1939. Since it is naturally derived, it does not carry the risks associated with synthetic treatments.

What to Expect
Your customized pellet hormone therapy program will include a consultation with a licensed physician or nurse practitioner, a physical exam, and regular monitoring. Our provider will review your full medical history report and will work with you and/or your primary care physician to develop a therapy program. Your therapy is individualized to your needs based on your hormone levels. Regular monitoring will include blood tests to evaluate how well your body is absorbing the hormones and to ensure the right dosage for your body. Just as hormones in your body gradually depleted over time, it usually takes time to balance your hormones through this therapy. Some positive effects will be noticed immediately. However, it may take up to one year to alleviate symptoms for some people. Your needs may change over time, and each person is different, so ongoing personalized care is vital to maintain your improved well being.
Hormone Optimization for Men
As men approach midlife, they can suffer from a decline in hormones known as andropause. Their body produces less testosterone, thyroid, and other vital hormones, leaving them noticing a decrease in sex drive and performance, lack of energy, irregular blood sugar, decreased muscle mass, inability to build muscle, loss of memory, and depression. Many men dismiss these changes as unavoidable signs of getting older, but that is not the case. Diet and lifestyle can also contribute to decreased testosterone production before you even reach middle age. Lower levels of testosterone or other hormones may cause any of the symptoms below. Hormone optimization, including testosterone replacement, can help treat the symptoms you are experiencing.
Low testosterone in men can result in:
- Fatigue, tiredness or loss of energy
- Depression, low or negative mood
- Irritability, anger or bad temper
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Loss of memory or concentration
- Relationship problem with partner
- Loss of sex drive or libido
- Erection problems during sex
- Loss of morning erections
- Decreased intensity of orgasms
- Backache, joint pains or stiffness
- Loss of fitness
- Feeling over-stressed
- Loss of drive and competitive edge
- Stiffness and pain in muscles and joints
- Falling level of fitness
- Decreased effectiveness of workouts
Testosterone replacement and optimization can result in:
- Decreased aging of heart and circulation
- Decreased risk of heart attacks and strokes
- Decreased risk of diabetes
- Decreased body fat
- Increased lean muscle
- Increased blood flow to brain
- Decreased brain aging
- Improved memory and intelligence
- Decreased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s
- Increased sense of well being
- Improved sexual function
- Decreased osteoporosis
- Decreased risk of prostate cancer
Hormone Optimization for Women
While people typically think of menopausal women needing hormone replacement, it’s important to understand that women of all ages can have symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Most women start to notice symptoms as they approach their early 40’s, but for some symptoms may begin even earlier. Doctors will often dismiss the symptoms below as “being all in your head” and will often prescribe sleeping pills, anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications. Unfortunately, more often than not, doctors don’t attribute the symptoms to hormonal shifts. Studies show that women who start hormone optimization treatment before their last period experience more improvement than those who wait.
Women often experience symptoms of hormone deficiencies that negatively impact their quality of life. Some of these symptoms may appear years before a woman enters menopause. These symptoms may include:
- low sex drive
- hot flashes*
- night sweats
- sleep disturbances
- mood swings
- weight gain
- vaginal dryness
- migraines
- palpitations
- osteoporosis
