Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a form of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. This therapy is used to replace hormones that decline naturally with age or as a result of certain medical conditions, such as menopause or hypogonadism.

BHRT is an alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy, which often uses synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormones can have different effects on the body than natural hormones, leading to side effects and potential health risks. In contrast, BHRT is made from plant-derived compounds that are identical to the hormones produced by the human body, making it a more natural and safe option for hormone replacement.

The most common hormones used in BHRT include estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. These hormones are prescribed in individualized doses based on a patient's specific needs and medical history. BHRT can be administered through various methods, including oral, transdermal (applied to the skin), subcutaneous (injected under the skin), and vaginal formulations.

BHRT has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, including:

• hot flashes

• night sweats

• mood swings

• vaginal dryness

• decreased libido

It has also been found to have numerous health benefits, including:

• improved bone density

• reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

• improved cognitive function

• reduced risk of Alzheimer’s / dementia

BHRT is a safe and effective option for people looking to address hormonal imbalances and improve their overall health and well-being. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the right course of treatment and to monitor any potential risks or side effects.
