Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Nearly every woman over the age of 30 experiences the natural decline in mental clarity, strength, and sex drive that comes along with other changes associated with aging due to the gradual loss of hormones. In women, this is called menopause and refers mainly to decreasing levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Hormone imbalance symptoms can range from subtle to debilitating and are often masked by medications that are commonly prescribed for anxiety, depression, insomnia, weight gain, and more. Hormonal imbalance symptoms may include:
- Heavy, irregular or painful periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Brain fog, exhaustion, poor sleep
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Loss of muscle mass
- Weakened bones
- Vaginal dryness
- Breast tenderness
- Indigestion and gastrointestinal changes
- Sexual dysfunction
- Fibromyalgia-like symptoms and more
Hormone therapy can benefit those who are suffering from symptoms that are commonly overlooked, primary care physicians who do not specialize in hormone therapy are unwilling to pursue hormone optimization with the vigor our integrative medicine providers do.
Here at Central Wellness, we treat women and their symptoms returning women to a normal, healthier, pain-free life. Our nurse practitioners will work with you to balance your hormones so you can live your optimal life to the fullest. Pharmaceutical hormones are not synthetic hormones that are made from man-made chemical compounds. Bio-identical hormones are made from compounds found in plants usually soybeans or wild yams in a sterile laboratory. After the plant-based hormone is processed, its structure is said to be identical to the estrogen, progesterone, or androgen hormone your body makes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a popular option for people with hormonal imbalances because bioidentical hormones closely mimic those naturally produced in the human body. These hormones are easy for your body to metabolize, and they may be a more natural option than other hormone replacement therapies.
Estrogen replacement therapy replaces lost estrogen in a woman’s body during menopause. There is relief for women experiencing the side effects of estrogen loss. In fact, many women express alleviation or elimination of the side effects. This is of course after receiving estrogen replacement therapy. Again, estrogen replacement takes place in oral, vaginal, pellet, or topical forms.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production slows for women during the mid-life stage. Many women then experience rapid and uncomfortable side effects of menopause. These include one or more of the following and can range in severity:
— Vaginal dryness
— Breast tenderness
— Mood swings
— Depression
— Hot flashes
— Night Sweats
— Irregularity with menstruation
— Lack of menstruation
— Difficulty concentrating
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment designed to help balance hormone levels using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. For women, BHRT can be especially beneficial during perimenopause, menopause, or when experiencing hormonal imbalances. Common benefits include relief from symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and fatigue. BHRT can also help improve bone density, support heart health, and enhance overall quality of life.
BHRT is considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), BHRT uses bioidentical hormones that are more closely matched to the body’s natural hormones. Treatment is highly personalized: your provider will conduct thorough lab tests to assess your hormone levels and develop a customized plan tailored to your specific needs and symptoms. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal dosing and long-term safety.
