BioIdentical Hormone Replacement
The term "bio-identical hormones" refers to plant derived hormones that are biologically identical to those produced in the body. These hormones are derived from plant tissues and are scientifically developed in laboratories to accurately match natural human hormones. Those hormones are then compounded into simple and effective creams, gels, pills, and other mediums. BHRT is designed to replace hormones we lose as we age.
When Should I Start BHRT?
The decision to start BHRT depends on several factors, including your individual health status, symptoms, and goals. BHRT is often considered for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances that can lead to a variety of symptoms, especially during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause (male menopause). The combination of bio-identical hormones and a healthy lifestyle could be all you need to correct your imbalanced hormones.
