Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) vs. Conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

First… what are hormones? Hormones are the body’s primary chemical messengers. While traveling to tissues and organs by means of the bloodstream, hormones manage mood, sexual function, growth and development, and metabolism. Even minor variations in natural hormone levels can have substantial consequences.

Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is based on the practice of man-made, synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormones, such as progestin, Premarin, and Androgel are chemically-created, patented hormones. Therefore, treatment plans are interchangeable and not tailored to your needs.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are identical in molecular structure to those your body biologically produces. This bioidentical structure allows hormones to follow the comparable pathways and act on the same receptors in the body as natural hormones – meaning the side effects are minimal, and the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormone treatments are optimum. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant extracts such as soybeans and yam, and help to restore the hormones your body needs to function properly.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy provides patients with a greater overall wellbeing. Some of the most apparent benefits of using bioidentical hormones include:

• Healthier maintenance of muscle mass and strength*
• Enhanced mood, concentration, and retention*
• Improved lipid levels*
• Amplified libido*
• Decrease in hot flashes and vaginal dryness*
• Reduced osteoporosis and restoration of bone strength*
• Lessened risk of Alzheimer’s disease*
• Diminished risk of depression*
• Relief from insomnia*

What Causes Hormonal Imbalance?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Sometimes mentioned as “male menopause,” andropause is the outcome of gradual hormone loss in men. The most common form of insufficiency is low testosterone in men. Symptoms of low testosterone in men show in various forms such as muscle loss, poor sex drive, urinary problems, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and memory loss. Hormonal imbalances are at the origin of many chronic health concerns and can raise the risk of severe disease. To a greater extent, men are using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to seek relief from these bothersome symptoms.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Women go through many hormonal fluctuations throughout their lifecycles such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, perimenopause, and menopause. Any or all of these variations can influence the delicate balance of natural hormones, leading to levels of high testosterone in women, low testosterone in women, and even thyroid symptoms in women. Beginning around the age of 30, it is recommended that women should check their hormones levels. This is the time in life when estrogen, progesterone and testosterone production begins to decrease, leaving women at a greater risk for developing chronic diseases and distress over uncomfortable symptoms, such as:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Low libido
• Weight gain
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mood swings
• Irregular bleeding

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the key solution for hormone imbalance and a successful way to alleviate hormone symptoms and protect against an increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. With a supervised hormone treatment plan, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can mend the health and quality of life of women troubled by symptoms and conditions of hormone imbalance.
