Bio-identical Hormone
Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a therapeutic approach utilizing hormones structurally similar to those naturally produced by the body, derived from various plants. These hormones, when properly dosed, have minimal side effects as they are not recognized as foreign by the body's immune system, avoiding complications from immunological responses. In contrast, synthetic hormone-like drugs, such as Premarin derived from horse urine, often result in extensive side effects.

As hormone production declines with age or illness, individuals may experience symptoms such as brain fog, hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, decreased muscle mass, sleep disturbances, and low libido. In such cases, bioidentical hormone replacement may be considered.

Our body's hormonal system significantly impacts energy production, particularly the thyroid hormone T3, which regulates mitochondrial activity, the primary source of energy production in cells. T3 enhances mitochondrial oxygen consumption and heat production, directly affecting mitochondrial respiration. Hypothyroid symptoms correlate with decreased mitochondrial respiration, resulting in reduced energy availability and accelerating aging processes. Adequate energy production is pivotal in preventing various disease processes.

Bio-identical hormones, available in troches, creams, gels, or pellets, are compounded to meet individual needs, ensuring the optimal hormone ratio for each person.
