Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
What is BHRT?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a systemic technique to combat the effects of age. The human body performs countless internal functions every second, and hormones facilitate the vital progress of these processes. As we age, we may have more difficulty maintaining healthy bones, muscle mass, and libido. BHRT could be the perfect boost your body needs to support its natural capabilities. Our certified practitioners understand the body’s delicate balance between testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormones (among others). Trained by one of the world’s leading hormone experts, our practitioners will listen closely to your needs and tailor a unique treatment plan specific to your symptoms and strengths.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Our practitioners use plant-based Bio-Identical Hormones, substituting your hormones molecule for molecule. BHRT yields a safer and more effective treatment. It uses no synthetics and no animal derivatives such as Premarin, which is made from horse urine. We avoid the complications of synthetic BHRT compounds by emulating and amplifying the power of your own biology. The major hormonal levels that BHRT can optimize include estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, progesterone, and thyroid. Seeing as how these compounds interact with each body differently, our practitioners customizes their ratio to your molecular landscape. As the name suggests, the hormones in your individualized therapy should be identical to those that occur naturally in your body. Our practitioners merely wants to tune them up.

BHRT For Men
Testosterone is the main driver of the male libido, but finding the right balance is essential in delivering the perfect result for you. BHRT can benefit a man’s sex drive and endurance, but also increase his focus, sleep quality, and ability to attain and maintain lean muscle mass. By supporting his vitality, a man can fend off chronic illness and enjoy longevity on many fronts.BHRT For Women
Night sweats and hot flashes are unfortunate realities of menopause. These are called vasomotor functions, and they are indelibly tied to both the circulatory system and the nervous system. The brain tells the blood vessels how to counter changes in hormonal levels, resulting in a sensation of overheating and fluctuations in heart rate. To treat these symptoms, women can enjoy the benefits of BHRT. When hormones are tailored directly to a woman’s body, she may experience increased vitality, clarity and stress mitigation.Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Procedure
