Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy safe?
The safety of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) depends on various factors, including the individual's medical history, the type of hormones used, the dosage, and the method of administration.
There are two types of hormones, synthetic and bioidentical. We use bioidentical hormones to help manage symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and andropause. Bioidentical hormones are a more natural approach. They are derived from plants (soy and wild yam) and are safe for long-term use because they match your chemical makeup molecule for molecule.

can Bioidentical Hormone therapy cause weight gain?
Balancing your hormones will help you lose weight. Hormonal imbalances can slow your metabolism and increase fat storage. Optimizing your hormone and vitamin levels will increase energy, athletic performance and improve your fat-to-muscle ratio.
How does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
Lab Test
Comprehensive blood work and a consultation with the doctor will help us determine hormone, vitamin, and mineral levels in your body.
Set Dosage
During your consultation, the doctor will review and discuss each individual lab result and ultimately make recommendations based upon your numbers and your symptoms.
The goal is to replenish the hormones that are depleted or lacking, returning your body to its optimal performance level.
