How Female Hormone Therapy Works

Female hormone therapy works by replacing or balancing hormones that naturally decline over time, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Our process begins with a thorough consultation and lab testing, where we measure your hormone levels and overall health markers.

Once we understand your hormonal profile, we develop a personalized BHRT plan, which may include:

• Pellet therapy: long-acting, subcutaneous pellets that deliver steady hormone levels over time.

• Injections: precise dosing for immediate symptom relief.

• Topical hormones: creams or gels for flexible, gradual absorption.

We closely monitor your progress with follow-up appointments and lab work, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Benefits of Female Hormone Therapy

Our patients experience a range of benefits with BHRT, including:

• Reduced hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings

• Improved sleep quality and energy levels

• Increased mental clarity and focus

• Enhanced libido and sexual wellness

• Support for bone health, heart health, and long-term wellness

• Personalized treatment with continuous monitoring

Every treatment plan is tailored to your health profile, ensuring maximum benefit with minimal risk.

Who Female Hormone Therapy is For

Female hormone therapy may be right for you if you are experiencing:

• Perimenopause or menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes)

• Low energy, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating

• Changes in libido or sexual function

• Hormonal imbalance affecting overall wellness

Who it’s not for: Women with certain medical conditions such as active hormone-sensitive cancers or blood-clotting disorders may not be candidates. During your consultation, we review your health history thoroughly to ensure BHRT is safe and appropriate for you.

FAQs — Female Hormone Therapy

Q: What is BHRT and how is it different from traditional hormone therapy?
A: BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones your body produces. This allows for precise, individualized dosing and often results in fewer side effects compared to traditional synthetic hormones.

Q: How soon will I notice improvements?
A: Some symptoms, like energy or mood, may improve within a few weeks. Full symptom relief typically occurs over 8–12 weeks with ongoing monitoring and adjustments.

Q: Do I need lab tests before starting therapy?
A: Yes. Lab testing is critical to create a personalized hormone plan and ensure safety. Your hormone levels, metabolic markers, and overall health are assessed before treatment begins.

Q: Are pellets or injections better?
A: Both are effective. The choice depends on your labs, preferences, lifestyle, and desired convenience. Our team will recommend the best option for your needs.

Q: Is BHRT safe?
A: When monitored by a qualified clinician and with regular lab work, BHRT is considered safe and evidence-based. Side effects are minimal and individualized adjustments are made as needed.
