Bioidentical hormones (BHRT) are a type of hormone therapy that is designed to address hormonal imbalances in the body. BHRT is made up of synthetic hormones that are derived from plant estrogens, which are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which are not chemically identical to the body's hormones, BHRT is designed to mimic the effects of naturally produced hormones.
BHRT therapy is often recommended for individuals who are experiencing hormonal imbalances due to aging, stress, or other factors. Hormonal imbalances can cause a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, irritability, and sleep disturbances. BHRT can help to alleviate these symptoms by supplementing or replenishing the body's natural hormone levels.
The most commonly replicated hormones in BHRT are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. BHRT can be administered orally, topically, or through injections, depending on the patient's specific needs. Oral BHRT is typically taken in pill form, while topical BHRT is applied directly to the skin. Injection BHRT is administered through a shot, typically given in the buttocks.
The benefits of BHRT therapy are numerous. BHRT can improve overall well-being, increase mental clarity, promote healthier skin, boost energy levels, thicken hair, promote better sleep at night, and reduce bloating. BHRT therapy can also help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and other conditions associated with hormonal imbalances.
It is important to note that BHRT therapy should only be prescribed by a qualified healthcare practitioner, such as Dr. Colbert. Patients should be monitored regularly to ensure that their hormone levels are within the desired range. Hormone levels that are too high or too low can lead to a variety of health problems, so it is important to work closely with Dr. Colbert to ensure that BHRT therapy is safe and effective.
