BHRT

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural approach to restoring hormone balance using compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces — such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

How Do I Know if I Have a Hormonal Imbalance?

Hormones influence nearly every aspect of how you feel — your energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and more. When they’re out of balance, your body often sends signals.

Common signs may include:

Irregular periods or worsening PMS

Fatigue or that afternoon “crash”

Brain fog or mood changes

Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

Trouble sleeping

Hot flashes or night sweats

Changes in skin, hair, or libido

What Affects Your Hormones

Your hormone health is shaped by many factors, including:
genetics, stress, nutrition, gut health, toxin exposure, lifestyle habits, and where you are in life’s hormonal transitions (like perimenopause).

Why It Happens

Communication between your endocrine glands — the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, and gut — can become disrupted, especially during perimenopause. Restoring that connection is key to achieving hormonal balance and feeling your best.

Integrative Insights from Hormone Health Experts

Your maintenance plan includes holistic strategies inspired by functional medicine and the latest in women’s hormonal health:

Nutrition & Gut Health

Boost phytoestrogens (flax, lentils, soy, beans) and cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale) to support hormone metabolism.
Support gut balance with prebiotics (onions, garlic, leeks) and probiotics (sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchi).
Aim for at least 100g of protein daily to preserve muscle and bone strength.
Lifestyle & Movement

Incorporate strength training and resistance exercise — it boosts metabolism, stabilizes hormones, and supports bone health.
Reduce stress with mindfulness, yoga, or acupuncture, all shown to lessen hot flashes and improve sleep.
Prioritize sleep hygiene — regular routines, low evening light, and gentle supports like magnesium or herbal adaptogens.
Symptom Awareness

Identify triggers for hot flashes like caffeine, alcohol, or low blood sugar.
Reassess your BHRT levels as needed to maintain optimal balance.
Remember: progress, not perfection — small consistent changes create lasting results.
