What is BHRT?

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized approach to hormone replacement that uses hormones identical to those naturally produced by your body. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies that use synthetic hormones or animal-based hormones that are slightly different from human hormones, BHRT matches your body's biology and is designed to restore hormonal balance, improving a range of symptoms and enhancing overall health and well-being.

The Need for BHRT

Hormones play a crucial role in our bodies, influencing metabolism, growth, mood, and sexual function, among other things. As we age, hormone production can decrease, due to a variety of factors such as stress, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise. This can lead to a range of symptoms and health issues. BHRT can be beneficial for both men and women, young and old, helping to restore hormonal balance and improve quality of life.

Indications for BHRT

BHRT can help address a range of symptoms and conditions, including:

If you're experiencing any of these issues,

BHRT could be a beneficial treatment option for you.

Methods for BHRT

There are several methods of administering BHRT, including capsules, rapid dissolve tablets (RDT), ointments and gels, injections, and pellets. At our clinic, we specialize in the use of pellet therapy, a method that provides a steady release of hormones and is convenient for many patients. Pellet therapy is preferred due to its ability to deliver consistent, physiologic levels of hormones.

What are Pellets

& Why Choose Them?

Pellets are a unique form of BHRT. Made from organic plant materials, they have the exact molecular structure of the hormones found in the body.

These pellets, about the size of a cooked grain of rice, are inserted under the skin in the hip area in a painless office procedure. They release small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream, similar to the way hormones were produced during our younger adult years.

Pellets offer several advantages over other methods of hormone delivery. They provide a steady release of hormones, avoiding the fluctuations that can occur with other methods. They're also convenient, requiring only a few office visits per year for insertion.
