What Are The Benefits Of BHRT?

Our body's hormones serve as a sort of messenger system that signals and controls more than a few functions in our body so when those “messages” get blocked it can create quite the impact on our physical and even mental health and well-being. BHRT is a hormone replacement therapy that manages these hormonal imbalances naturally. 

What Is BHRT?

BHRT (Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) is a natural solution for both men and women who may be experiencing an imbalance or decrease in hormone levels. Someone experiencing a hormonal imbalance may experience such symptoms as weight gain or mood swings, fatigue and energy loss, as well as trouble sleeping and memory loss.

There are more than a few types of manmade hormones available on the market, bioidenticals are the closest to the real thing. Bioidentical hormones are manmade and derived from estrogens found in plants, such as soybeans and yams, and are a chemical match to those that our body produces, and are designed for our body to use in the same way that they would our own hormones. 

What Are The Benefits of BHRT?

For women experiencing hormone level drops, especially around the period of perimenopause or menopause, BHRT helps improve moderate to severe symptoms such as mood changes, weight gain, sleep issues, and pain during or loss of interest in sex altogether. BHRT may also decrease the likelihood of someone developing other problems that can occur with age such as stroke, heart disease, and even dementia. 

But women aren’t the only ones who can benefit from this therapy, men experiencing low testosterone levels have experienced improvements, as well. Including libido boosts and improved energy, as well as muscle growth, enhanced performance, and improvements in erectile dysfunction. Aside from BHRT being a natural solution, it is also a unique blend of hormones that is custom designed to meet your specific health needs.

What Are The Different Forms of BHRT?

Perhaps the most widely known form of delivery for this therapy type is the pellet that patients have injected into their bodies to deliver the hormonal treatment. However, there are more than a few other forms of delivery, including patches that release hormones throughout the length of your day, gels and creams that can be rubbed into the skin and absorbed into the body, as well as pills that can be taken regularly or an injection that delivers the treatment quickly.  

It is important to remember that we are all uniquely and wonderfully made and so what works best for one may not be the best or most effective for another. This is why no matter what your preference, it is important to partner with your healthcare provider and explore all options before settling on one or the other as a preferred delivery type.
