What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a personalized treatment designed to restore balance to hormone levels and improve overall well-being. Hormonal imbalances can occur naturally with aging, often leading to symptoms that may impact quality of life.
Common symptoms of hormonal imbalances include:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Depression and anxiety
- Hair loss
- Mood swings
- Low libido
BHRT can be particularly effective in alleviating symptoms associated with menopause in women and andropause (male menopause) in men. By addressing the root cause of these symptoms, BHRT helps patients feel more energized, balanced and rejuvenated.
Why use bioidentical hormones?
Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which uses synthetic hormones that don’t precisely match the molecular structure of your body’s hormones, BHRT utilizes hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces.
- Derived from plants: Bioidentical hormones are sourced from plants, such as yams or soy, and undergo minor adjustments in the lab to ensure they perfectly match the structure of your natural hormones.
- Better absorption: Because these hormones are identical to your own, your body can process them more efficiently, reducing the risk of adverse effects.
- Personalized dosing: BHRT is tailored to meet your unique hormonal needs. Unlike conventional HRT with standardized doses, your BHRT prescription is based on your specific hormone levels, symptoms, and preferences.
How is BHRT administered?
Boca Prestige Concierge takes a personalized approach to BHRT, ensuring the treatment aligns with your specific needs:
Initial consultation
Your physician will review your medical history to determine if BHRT is a safe and suitable option. Conditions such as breast cancer or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may make hormone therapy inadvisable.
Hormone testing
A blood sample will be analyzed to assess your current hormone levels. This data helps tailor the treatment to your body’s needs.
Customized medications
Your BHRT medications are prepared by a compounding pharmacy, ensuring that the dosage and formulation are specifically designed for you. BHRT offers various delivery methods, including creams, gels, patches, pellets, and oral tablets, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your lifestyle.
Ongoing monitoring
Regular follow-ups and blood tests ensure that your hormone levels remain optimal. Your prescription can be adjusted as needed to maintain the desired effects and minimize any side effects.
Why choose BHRT?
At Boca Prestige Concierge, Dr. Awan and Dr. Eichler prioritize a patient-centered approach to hormone therapy. By focusing on personalized care and advanced testing, they ensure that your treatment is safe, effective, and closely aligned with your health goals.
