About Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical hormones, sometimes called “natural hormone replacements,” have the same chemical structure as the hormones that your body manufactures. The bioidentical hormones that we use are produced by a compounding pharmacy for an individual patient instead of a large pharmaceutical company. A few examples of bio-identical hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. We can recommend the best administration method for your circumstances after evaluating the type of imbalance you have and your specific goals. ⁽¹⁾

Compounded BHRT vs. Synthetic Hormones

Large pharmaceutical companies make man-made (synthetic) hormones and get patents for them, meaning they can sell them exclusively. These synthetic hormones aren’t exactly the same as the natural ones your body makes, which is why they often cause more side effects. ⁽¹⁾ Meanwhile, compounded bioidentical hormones are made to match each person’s unique needs and are chemically identical to natural hormones. Because they’re custom-made, they can’t be patented like synthetic hormones.

Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can be helpful for women experiencing symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, or postmenopause. Men experiencing age-related hormonal changes may also benefit from compounded BHRT. Compounded BHRT can be used as a personalized approach to hormone therapy when standardized treatments are not suitable.

Hormone Balancing Treatment

Many health problems that arise with age are caused by hormone imbalances, which are often amplified by poor lifestyle choices or environmental factors. This is also known as “pathologic aging.” A complete anti-aging plan that includes hormone balancing can help boost your energy and improve your quality of life. At Before-N-After, BHRT specialists can create a customized hormone-balancing plan to target your specific symptoms.

BHRT for Menopause

Menopause is a condition that occurs when a woman has not had her period for more than 12 months, or earlier through lab testing. It can come with an array of unpleasant symptoms, including but not limited to brain fog, poor temperature regulation, hair loss, and night sweats. With customizable BHRT, we can help you optimize your estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone levels gradually to address your symptoms. If you are suffering from menopause, BHRT can help you improve:

BHRT for Andropause

Candidates

If you suffer from menopause, andropause, or general hormonal imbalances, you may be a candidate for BHRT. Our specialists will review your medical history, physical exam, and lab results to develop a personalized bioidentical hormone regimen for you.

Prospective candidates should be in good general health without any conditions that could significantly impact their ability to receive bioidentical hormone therapy. Additionally, maintaining realistic expectations and being willing to commit to following your treatment plan will help to ensure your results are optimal.

Consultation

During your consultation, we discuss your symptoms, medical history, and current medications in depth to create a personalized treatment plan. Your Before-N-After physician will concentrate on optimizing your bioidentical hormone balance and overall wellness. Our BHRT treatment plans often incorporate recommendations for ways you can optimize your nutrition, exercise, and supplement intake. We intend to complement, rather than replace, your primary care physician. We are happy to communicate your bioidentical hormone and wellness plan with your primary care physician so that you receive the best care possible.

Treatment Process

The process may also include taking a comprehensive medical history and undergoing a physical exam, as well as completing lab tests. As you progress through treatment, your specialist will arrange follow-up lab testing and make adjustments to achieve your optimal hormonal balance.

Results

Each patient has a unique hormonal makeup, and results can vary depending on the severity of your hormone imbalance. Typically, patients see an improvement and begin to feel better after several weeks of consistent treatment. Our team will work with you and provide testing to adjust your BHRT prescription as needed. Most patients choose to stay on BHRT therapy long-term to maintain a better quality of life and reduce the symptoms of chronic imbalances.
