BHRT for Women

Enjoy Optimized Hormone Levels with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Naturally, men and women have different experiences when living with declining hormone levels. Most women experience very distinct symptoms of hormone imbalance that affect their many aspects of every day life, relationships and overall wellbeing.

 

Hormones play a huge role in how your level of energy, how you feel, your mood and more. There is a huge difference between feeling “normal” and feeling optimal.  Restoring balance to your hormones may be the solution you've been searching for.

What are Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Women?

BHRT is used to increase the levels of the hormones that have dropped and improve moderate to severe symptoms, including:

​

  • hot flashes

  • night sweats

  • mood changes

  • memory loss

  • weight gain

  • sleep issues

  • loss of interest in sex or pain during sex

If you regularly experience three or more of these symptoms, you may you be a candidate for Hormone Optimization.

What Are Bioidentical Pellets?

Naturally, men and women have different experiences of their respective midlife hormonal changes. Although most women experience a very distinct set of hormone imbalance symptoms, the symptoms men experience from hormonal imbalance are not quite as obvious and often ignored. Adequate levels of testosterone are imperative to a man’s health maintenance and general well-being.

​

Pellet therapy uses hormones that are identical to the hormones naturally made by your body.  It provides an alternative to hormones that are synthetic, such as injectable testosterone, or hormones concentrated from horse urine (Premarin).

 

Pellets are made by compounding pharmacists in customized dosages- based on the individual needs of the patient - as opposed to the narrow choices available with mass-produced, or “one size fits all” hormone therapies.

Why We Prefer Bioidentical Hormones

Integrative Medicine of Idaho uses bioidentical hormone pellets that offer chemically-identical hormone to those naturally produced by the body. Made by compounding pharmacists, customized dosages are based on the individual needs of the patient as opposed to the narrow choices available with mass-produced, or “one size fits all” hormone therapies.

 

Pellet Therapy delivers a constant level of hormones throughout the day preventing rollercoaster-like effects from alternative hormones. The pellets HTCA uses contains Bioidentical hormones, which are derived from natural sources. The pellets contain hormones the exact hormones that are found naturally in the human body. Studies have shown that Bioidentical hormones have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones.

Bioidentical Pellet Therapy is a hormone replacement method in which replaces the natural hormones men and women lose with age. The pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone, which are pressed, or fused into tiny solid cylinders. When administered they deliver consistent and healthy levels of hormones for 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men.

 

Pellets dissolve inside the body on their own and are re-implanted as needed depending on how rapidly the patient metabolizes the hormones. Pellets avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen with other methods of delivery, providing more consistent hormone levels over a longer period.
