HORMONE SERVICES
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment used to alleviate symptoms of perimenopause and menopause caused by a natural decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. BHRT aims to restore these hormone levels to reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
-
Relief from menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings
-
Improved vaginal, urinary, and sexual health
-
Prevents bone loss and reduces the risk of osteoporosis

Progesterone
a critical hormone for reproductive health, menstrual cycle regulation, and pregnancy maintenance. Progesterone is essential for various physiological processes in both women and men. In men, progesterone is produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands and testes, where it acts as a precursor to other hormones.
-
Alleviates menopausal symptoms
-
Reduces anxiety and mood swings
-
Prevents excessive thickening of the uterine lining that could lead to endometrial cancer
-
Progesterone is essential for protecting the uterine lining in women with a uterus using Estrogen HRT.
In perimenopausal women, progesterone helps regulate menstrual cycles and manage symptoms like heavy bleeding or mood swings.
In postmenopausal women, progesterone supports sleep, mood, and bone health while balancing estrogen therapy.
Testosterone
a steroid hormone primarily associated with male development and reproductive health, although it is present in both men and women. It belongs to a group of hormones called androgens and plays a critical role in physical and sexual development, as well as overall health and well-being.
-
Contributes to ovarian function (women) and erectile function (men) and supports libido
-
Increases and maintains muscle mass and strength
-
Influences mood and cognitive function
-
Men who have been diagnosed with low testosterone levels, often due to age-related decline, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors, are candidates for testosterone therapy.
Women with low testosterone levels who experience symptoms such as reduced libido, fatigue, muscle weakness, or mood changes may benefit from testosterone therapy.
a critical hormone for reproductive health, bone strength, and overall well-being. Estrogen is present in both men and women. It is more abundant in women, where it regulates menstrual cycles, supports pregnancy, and influences overall health. Though lower in concentration, estrogen is also crucial in men, where it helps regulate libido, supports bone density and cardiovascular health and plays a role in sperm maturation.
-
Relief from menopausal symptoms
-
Improved bone health
-
Increased collagen production, helping to maintain skin thickness and reduce wrinkles
-
Women with menopausal symptoms and early or premature menopause (before age 40), women who have had their ovaries removed and women at risk for osteoporosis may benefit from estrogen BHRT.

Perimenopause & Menopause
The distinct stages in a woman's reproductive life, marking the transition from fertility to the post-reproductive phase.
Perimenopause
The transitional period leading up to menopause when the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone. Perimenopause typically begins in a woman’s 40s but can start earlier, and lasts an average of 4-10 years. During this stage, periods may become irregular and sporadic.
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Irregular periods
-
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
-
Sleep disturbances or insomnia
-
Breast tenderness
-
Worsening PMS symptoms
-
Changes in libido
-
Vaginal dryness and discomfort
-
Menopause
The point at which a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, signifying the end of ovulation and menstruation. Once in menopause, hormone production decreases significantly and menstruation stops completely.
-
Continuation or intensification of perimenopausal symptoms
-
Vaginal dryness and thinning of tissues
-
Urinary incontinence
-
Joint pain
-
Changes in metabolism and weight distribution
-
BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. These hormones are usually derived from plant sources and are designed to match your body’s natural hormones for a more tailored and potentially safer approach.
HRT typically uses synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animal sources. These may not be identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, which can sometimes lead to different side effects or risks.
Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the human body and are derived from plant sources. Bio-identical hormones are designed to mimic the structure of human estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone.
Synthetic hormones are either chemically different from natural human hormones or derived from non-human sources. Synthetic hormones are manufactured in labs, often using chemical processes. Since the chemical structure is different from human hormones, synthetic hormones can lead to a number of side effects and risks. Synthetic hormones have been associated with blood clots and stroke, breast cancer, heart disease and gallbladder disease.
We do not prescribe BHRT to men with a history testicular or prostate cancer or women with a history of breast, uterine, cervical, or other reproductive cancers due to the increased risk of recurrence.
We do not provide hormone therapy in the form of pellets.Hormone pellets deliver a fixed dose of hormones that cannot be adjusted once implanted, making it difficult to manage side effects or fine-tune therapy. Additionally, the pellet insertion process can cause scarring or infection, and hormone levels may fluctuate unpredictably, leading to periods of over- or under-treatment.
Oral estrogen poses higher risks because it is processed through the liver, which can increase the production of clotting factors, raising the risk of blood clots, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This may also negatively affect cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health. Estrogen creams or patches bypass the liver and are considered safer.
We do not prescribe hormones for contraceptive purposes.

Low Testosterone
In men, testosterone promotes the development of reproductive tissues, stimulates sperm production, maintains libido and erectile function, increases muscle mass, promotes bone density, and influences mood and cognitive function. Decreased testosterone levels in men can result from various factors, including natural age-related decline, as testosterone levels typically decrease by about 1% per year after age 30. Other causes include chronic health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, as well as lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, high stress, and inadequate sleep.
