What is BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. It’s designed to gently restore balance during times of hormonal transition like perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Unlike conventional hormone therapies, BHRT can be customized to your unique needs, often using compounded formulas tailored to your lab work, symptoms, and health history.
This approach is especially helpful for women navigating:
- Hot flashes
- Sleep disruptions and night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or low libido
- Weight changes or stubborn metabolic issues
We’ll explore if BHRT is appropriate for you by looking at your symptoms, lab testing (when needed), and overall health goals. For some women, herbal and nutritional strategies may be enough. For others, BHRT can be a powerful tool, especially when combined with foundational care like nutrition, stress support, and sleep.

BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. This allows for more personalized dosing and better compatibility for many women. Unlike conventional HRT, BHRT is often compounded to fit your unique hormonal needs based on labs, symptoms, and your health history.m description

BHRT can be very safe and effective when prescribed responsibly. That’s my our process includes careful screening, comprehensive intake, and ongoing monitoring. However, it’s not for everyone — certain health histories or medications may increase risks. We’ll help determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Absolutely. My role is to support your health goals with the approach that feels right for you. Some patients do well with prescription bioidentical hormones, others prefer standardized synthetic medications, and many want to explore non-prescription (OTC) or herbal options. We can create a plan that fits your needs while making sure you’re safe and supported.

Not always. While lab testing can provide helpful data, your symptoms and health history play a big role in determining whether BHRT is appropriate. In some cases, we may recommend testing to better guide your treatment.
