Bio identical Hormone therapy - HRT Solutions

Bioidentical hormone therapy, also referred to as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), involves the use of hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body. This emerging field aims to safely supplement hormone levels in order to alleviate undesirable symptoms of hormone deficiency and support long-term health and wellbeing. At HRT Solutions, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone therapy programs to help both men and women feel their best at any age. As leaders in the field with over 15 years of experience, we partner with our patients to develop individualized treatment plans utilizing cutting-edge bioidentical hormones and delivery methods.

What Are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones have the exact same chemical structure as those produced naturally within the endocrine system. This includes key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin and others. Pharmaceutical bioidentical hormones are plant-derived and structurally identical to human hormones at the molecular level. This allows the body to recognize and utilize them just as it would our own hormones.

Bioidentical	Molecularly identical to endogenous human hormones
Natural	Plant-derived, not synthetic
Personalized	Treatment plans tailored to the individual

The safety profile of bioidentical hormone therapy depends largely on maintaining hormone levels within an optimal range, which requires proper diagnosis, routine monitoring, and dosage adjustment when necessary. When managed correctly under medical supervision, many patients report experiencing noticeable improvements with few to no unpleasant side effects.

Why Hormone Deficiency Occurs

Hormone levels naturally fluctuate at different life stages and can start to decline with age. Estrogen deficiency is most often tied to perimenopause and menopause in women as ovarian function diminishes. The transition out of the reproductive years is marked by cessation of menstrual periods, which typically occurs in the late 40s or early 50s.

Testosterone levels in men begin declining after age 30 by about 1% each year. Lower testosterone correlates with reduced energy, diminished strength and muscle mass, increased body fat, poor concentration, irritability, low libido, erectile dysfunction and depressed mood.

Women	Perimenopause, menopause, chronic stress, poor diet, toxins, medical conditions
Men	Age-related decline (after 30), chronic stress, poor diet, toxins, medical conditions

Assessing Hormone Levels

Diagnosing hormonal imbalance requires specific blood, saliva or urine lab testing to analyze levels of key hormones along with a complete medical history and physical examination. Diagnostic standards at HRT Solutions adhere to the highest levels of care according to published medical society guidelines. We utilize CLIA certified laboratories and our providers specialize in interpreting results to best identify and address imbalances.
