Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormones are made by compounding pharmacists to be the same as the hormones produced naturally in the human body. Our pharmacists compound our BHRT prescriptions using plant-derived natural ingredients from FDA approved sources. Unlike a traditional non-compounding pharmacy, they can combine or change a medications ingredients to meet each client’s widely varying needs. Taken orally or topically, bioidentical hormones help to protect the brain, heart, bones, and entire body of human adults. BHRT for menopausal women and andropausal men restores quality of life. There is no need to suffer in silence any longer.

Clients who partner with us experience many positive effects including increased energy, better sleep, and the ability to lose fat and gain muscle. Upon starting a hormone program, our clients report less fatigue, decreased pain and inflammation, an improved sex drive, better sleep, improved mood, stronger bones, an overall feeling of well being, as well as improved hair, skin, and nails, and a stronger immune system.

Heart Health – Until they reach menopause, women are protected from many cardiovascular problems by their female hormones. However, once estradiol and certain adrenal hormones start to decline, women may need hormone replacement therapy to help protect their heart and blood vessels. The same is true with men and testosterone. Testosterone is protective to men.

Muscle and Strength Loss – Men and women can lose muscle mass and strength as hormone levels decrease. Hormone replacement therapy can help clients continue enjoying their favorite sports, activities, and a better quality of life.

Mood Disorders – Hormonal changes in menopause or andropause (in men) can cause or worsen mood swings, anxiety disorders, or depression. In addition to worry, fear, agitation, irritability, nervousness, and irrational thoughts, clients can have physical symptoms – rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, nausea, numbness, lightheadedness, shakiness, and high blood pressure.

Loss of Bone Density – Postmenopausal osteoporosis can affect many women during the first decade following menopause. Bones may become brittle, fragile, and easily fractured. It is one of the most common postmenopausal problems we can treat with BHRT. Men can get osteoporosis also and BHRT helps.

Sexual Dysfunction – BHRT may help with vaginal dryness in women, decreased libido in both sexes, and sexual functioning issues in men.
