BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES THERAPY (BHRT)

---

BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally makes. They're typically plant-derived and designed to restore balance when stress, age, or health conditions throw your levels out of sync. This is about giving your body what it actually recognizes and can use effectively.

Traditional hormone therapies often use synthetic or animal-based hormones. BHRT matches your body’s chemistry more precisely, which can make it easier to absorb and reduce side effects—especially when dosed based on your specific needs, not averages.

Not even close. While it’s often used during perimenopause or menopause, men also experience hormonal shifts—especially low testosterone (aka andropause). BHRT can help restore strength, drive, mental sharpness, and mood in men just as powerfully.

Optimization goes beyond just replacing what’s low. We look at your whole endocrine system—sex hormones, thyroid, adrenal function, blood sugar, and how they all talk to each other. Our goal is to help you feel balanced, focused, and energized. Not just “within range”—but truly well.

Yes—and they’re happening younger and younger. We’re seeing this in people in their 20s and 30s all the time. Why? Because modern life is full of hormone disruptors:

• High stress
  Poor sleep
  Overtraining
  Under-eating
  Birth control
  Gut dysfunction
  Environmental toxins
   

If you’re constantly tired, gaining weight despite eating clean, or feel “off” but your labs are “normal,” it’s time to dig deeper.

These vary by person and life stage, but common signs include:

• Fatigue that doesn’t go away
  Brain fog and forgetfulness
  Mood swings or irritability
  Weight gain (especially belly fat)
  Low sex drive
  Anxiety or depression
  Irregular periods or PMS
  Trouble sleeping
  Muscle loss or poor recovery
  Hair thinning, dry skin, or brittle nails
  Feeling like a stranger in your own body
   

Thyroid health is about much more than your TSH lab value. We look deeper at how well your thyroid is functioning, not just whether it’s “in range.” Suboptimal thyroid levels can slow your metabolism, zap your energy, mess with your digestion, and even cloud your memory.

Yes. Standard lab ranges are based on population averages, not what’s optimal. You could have classic low-thyroid symptoms (like fatigue, constipation, weight gain, depression) and still be told you’re “fine.” We don’t settle for that—we dig until we understand what your body needs.

We use comprehensive, functional lab testing to get a full picture, including:

• Full thyroid panel (not just TSH)
  Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA
  Cortisol (often via saliva or urine)
  Insulin, glucose, HbA1c
  Nutrients: Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium
  We retest periodically to monitor progress and fine-tune your plan.
   

Optimization means restoring function, not just avoiding disease. It’s about finding your sweet spot—where your hormones support clear thinking, steady moods, lean muscle, libido, and longevity. Sometimes that means replacement. Sometimes it means improving how your body uses what it already makes.

• You’ve been told “everything looks fine” but you feel awful
  Chronic fatigue, irritability, or low motivation
  Irregular cycles or worsening PMS
  Brain fog, poor focus, or forgetfulness
  Hair loss or dull skin
  Poor sleep and unexplained weight gain

These are not “just life” or “getting older.” They’re signals. Let’s listen to them.

Yes—indirectly. Balanced hormones improve metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support better sleep and recovery. It’s not a shortcut, but it removes the invisible handbrake that makes progress harder than it should be.

Definitely. Hormones affect neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. When estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones are off, your brain chemistry takes the hit. Getting those in balance can dramatically improve mood, clarity, and emotional resilience.

Absolutely. One of the most common things we hear is:

“I’m young, I eat well, I exercise—and I still feel terrible.”
We see young adults all the time with:

• Post-birth control syndrome
  Early thyroid dysfunction
  Adrenal burnout
  Sleep disruption and gut issues
   

If you feel off, don’t let your age disqualify you from support.

We tailor your plan based on your labs, lifestyle, goals, and symptoms. We don’t guess, and we don’t copy-paste protocols. Adjustments are made slowly and based on how your body responds—not just what the lab says.

We offer:

• Creams
  Sublingual troches
  Injections
  Gels

Pellets are coming soon. We’ll help you choose what fits best based on your goals and preferences.

Not necessarily. Some people use hormone or thyroid support as a short-term bridge to get back into balance. Others find long-term benefit and choose a low-maintenance, sustainable plan. The point is: your plan evolves with you.

We support natural strategies 100%. Diet, movement, stress management, sleep, and targeted supplements are part of every plan we create. But sometimes your body needs more than lifestyle tweaks—especially if it's been depleted for years. BHRT can be the kickstart you need while we rebuild resilience.

We specialize in that. Hashimoto’s often comes with gut issues, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. We take a root-cause approach to calm inflammation, support the immune system, and restore thyroid function—not just suppress symptoms with medication.

Start by scheduling a consultation. We’ll go deep into your health history, order labs if needed, and create a personalized, step-by-step plan to help you feel like yourself again. Whether you’re navigating burnout, menopause, low testosterone, or “mystery” symptoms—you’re not alone.

In Your 20s–30s: PMS, acne, fatigue, anxiety, post-birth control symptoms
In Your 30s–40s: Mood swings, early perimenopause signs, thyroid dysfunction
In Your 40s–50s: Menopause, andropause, stubborn weight gain, poor sleep
60+: Cognitive changes, bone health shifts, cardiovascular risks

Absolutely. Hormones don’t operate in a vacuum. We also offer:

• IV therapy for hydration and micronutrients
  Peptides for recovery, cognition, and aging support
  Advanced functional labs to explore deeper root causes
  This is comprehensive care, not one-size-fits-all.
   

You don’t have to feel “off” forever.
If you’re tired of guessing, Googling, or being told “everything is normal”—we’re here.
