Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline causing unpleasant symptoms. Replacing diminished hormones with bioidentical versions can help alleviate these deficiency signs and improve quality of life.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) provides many benefits including:
The first step is to test your hormone levels with blood, saliva, or urine tests. Common deficiencies:
Estrogen regulates the female reproductive system. Low estrogen causes symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bladder issues, and loss of skin elasticity.
This hormone controls the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Insufficient progesterone leads to irregular periods, infertility, and mood instability.
Testosterone deficiency manifests through fatigue, depression, loss of muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and decreased bone density in both men and women.
Thyroid, DHEA, melatonin levels should also be evaluated. Replacement of deficient hormones can prevent disease and make you feel more youthful.

Bioidentical hormones are not legally defined or regulated by the FDA. Compounded bioidentical hormones are mixed by pharmacists and lack safety and efficacy data from large clinical trials like FDA-approved versions, yet their use continues to increase due to perceived benefits over conventional hormone therapy.
