BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES THERAPY (BHRT)

---

BHRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to those your body produces. Sourced from plants, these hormones are designed to restore balance, especially when aging, stress, or illness has disrupted your natural levels.

Traditional therapies often use synthetic or animal-derived hormones. BHRT matches your body’s chemistry more precisely, which can make it easier to absorb and less likely to cause side effects when dosed appropriately.

Nope. While it’s commonly used to support women through perimenopause and menopause, men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone (also called andropause) often benefit from BHRT too.

Hormone optimization goes beyond symptom relief. It’s a full-spectrum approach that considers how your sex hormones, adrenal hormones (like cortisol and DHEA), thyroid hormones, and insulin interact. The goal? Restoring balance across your entire endocrine system so you feel energized, focused, and in control.

Yes. Hormonal imbalances can happen in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. Stress, overtraining, birth control, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, and even gut health can all impact your hormone levels. You don’t have to wait until something is “clinically wrong” to get support.

• Fatigue that doesn’t go away with rest
• Trouble sleeping
• Weight gain (especially around the belly)
• Low sex drive
• Brain fog or forgetfulness
• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
• Poor workout recovery or muscle loss
• Irregular or painful periods
• Hot flashes or night sweats
   

Thyroid optimization is about identifying and correcting subtle dysfunctions in thyroid activity—even if standard tests say you're “normal.” We dig deeper to uncover imbalances that affect your metabolism, mood, digestion, and brain function.

Yes. Traditional lab ranges are based on population averages—not optimal function. You might have all the classic signs of low thyroid (fatigue, dry skin, constipation, weight gain, depression), yet still be told your labs are “fine.” We aim for what’s optimal, not just acceptable.

Yes—labs are essential. They give us a detailed view of how your body is functioning and help us tailor your plan. We use advanced testing to evaluate:

• Thyroid function
• Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA
• Cortisol (sometimes with saliva or urine testing)
• Metabolic markers like insulin and glucose
• Key nutrients like vitamin D, B12, magnesium, and ferritin
  We retest periodically to track progress and fine-tune your treatment.
   

Optimization means bringing your hormones into a range that supports energy, mood, metabolism, and longevity—not just avoiding disease. Sometimes that means replacement; sometimes it means improving how your body uses the hormones it already makes.

• Being told “labs are fine” but still feeling off
• Chronic low energy, irritability, or mental fog
• Irregular cycles or worsening PMS
• Hair loss or changes in skin texture
• Sleep disruptions and weight gain despite healthy habits
   

Indirectly, yes. Balanced hormones make it easier to lose fat, build muscle, and regulate appetite. They won’t replace good nutrition or exercise, but they will remove invisible barriers that make progress feel impossible.

Definitely. Hormones play a major role in how your brain functions. When things like thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, or cortisol are out of balance, it affects neurotransmitters—like serotonin and dopamine—that impact mood and focus.

We start with a comprehensive evaluation, including your symptoms, lifestyle, and lab results. Doses are adjusted gradually—based on how you respond, not just what the numbers say. It’s a dynamic process, not a one-time prescription.

We offer creams, gels, sublingual troches, and injections. Pellets are coming soon. Each delivery method has its pros and cons, and we’ll help you choose the one that fits your goals and lifestyle best.

Not always. Some clients use BHRT or thyroid support temporarily to restore balance. Others stay on a maintenance plan long-term. Our goal is not dependency—it’s resilience. Your plan evolves as you do.

We absolutely integrate natural strategies: diet, sleep, stress management, targeted supplements, and movement. But sometimes your body needs an extra nudge—especially if hormones have been depleted for years. Think of therapy as a bridge, not a bypass.

Yes. Hashimoto’s often goes hand in hand with nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, and hormonal imbalances. We use a functional, root-cause approach to reduce inflammation, support the immune system, and restore thyroid function—without relying on medication alone.

Schedule a consultation. We’ll go deep into your health history, run labs if needed, and create a step-by-step plan that fits your life. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, hormone shifts, or chronic stress—we help you move forward, not just manage symptoms.

20s–30s: PMS, acne, anxiety, post-birth control symptoms, fatigue
30s–40s: Irregular cycles, mood swings, early perimenopause signs, thyroid dips
40s–50s: Menopause, andropause, stubborn weight, sleep issues, libido loss
60+: Cognitive changes, osteoporosis risk, cardiovascular health shifts

Yes. Hormones don’t operate in a vacuum. We often support clients with targeted IV therapy, peptide protocols, and micronutrient testing to address the terrain, not just the symptoms. This is full-spectrum, root-cause functional care.

You don't have to feel "off" forever. Whether you're looking for a reset or long-term strategy, we help you reclaim balance, energy, and clarity—on your terms.
