BHRT for Men

BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) is a type of hormone replacement therapy that involves using hormones identical to those our bodies produce naturally. Traditional hormone therapy uses synthetic hormones, which are not exact replicas of the hormones our bodies produce, leading to the possibility of weight gain, mood swings, headaches, and other unwanted side effects. But bioidentical hormones are identical to the hormones our bodies produce, so the risk of side effects is considerably lower.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy offers numerous additional benefits when compared to synthetic hormones. First, since bioidentical hormones are identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, your body is less likely to reject them. Second, bioidentical hormones are more easily metabolized and used by your body, so they are more effective than synthetic hormones. Finally, bioidentical hormone therapy can be customized to your specific hormone levels and needs, which is not possible with synthetic hormone therapy.

Your BHRT journey starts with a thorough, raw, and honest consultation with a board-certified physician. We encourage you to be completely honest during the consultation, especially when discussing the changes you have noticed in your emotional, physical, sexual, and mental state. The medical provider will ask specific questions about your health, medical history, family history, symptoms, and lifestyle.

After a thorough consultation, the medical doctor may recommend lab tests and food sensitivity tests. Lab tests allow us to understand the underlying physiological factors contributing to your symptoms and concerns. And food sensitivity tests allow us to determine if some of your health concerns and symptoms can be attributed to sensitivities and allergies, a symptom of the ultra-processed food world we live in.
