Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has exploded in recognition and popularity but many people are unfamiliar with the side effects of the treatment. Many of these negative ramifications, however, are mitigated by a newer approach.
Bio identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) utilizes plant-based hormones that are modified to be chemically identical to the hormones that our body naturally produces. If you’ve been considering hormone therapy but feel hesitant about the risks, BHRT might be the solution you’re looking for.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been around for decades. It’s commonly used to treat symptoms related to hormone imbalances, particularly during menopause. The treatment typically involves replacing the hormones your body stops producing as you age with synthetic or animal-derived hormones. HRT is available in various forms including pills, patches, creams, and injections.
For many women, HRT has provided tremendous relief from common menopausal symptoms. It can stabilize mood, prevent hot flashes, improve sleep, and even reduce the risk of osteoporosis. However, studies have shown that synthetic hormones used in HRT can have side effects like an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, and certain cancers.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENTOne of the biggest concerns about traditional HRT is that the hormones used are not an exact match for the ones naturally produced by your body. Synthetic estrogen and progesterone are designed to mimic your natural hormones but don’t have the same chemical structure. This can make them harder for your body to process.
As you can imagine, this incompatibility can lead to negative side effects. Some of the side effects associated with traditional HRT include:
Although not everyone experiences these side effects, they’ve been a significant concern for many women considering HRT. That’s where bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) comes into play as a safer and more natural alternative.
Instead of using synthetic or animal-derived hormones, BHRT uses plant-based hormones that are chemically modified to be identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. In other words, bioidentical hormones fit into the body’s receptors like a key into its lock. This chemical similarity can reduce the risk of side effects mentioned earlier.
If you’re considering hormone replacement therapy to tackle the symptoms of menopause or hormonal imbalance, then BHRT is a safer and more natural alternative to traditional HRT. It offers the same relief from symptoms but with fewer risks and side effects.
