Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many essential bodily functions. When hormone levels become too high or too low, this can lead to distressing signs and symptoms.
Hormone imbalances often occur during major life transitions such as perimenopause, menopause, and andropause. They may also develop due to medical conditions, medications, poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, and other lifestyle factors.
Some common signs of a hormone deficiency include:
If left untreated, hormone deficiencies can significantly impact one's quality of life. They have also been linked to various health risks like heart disease, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative conditions.
The good news is that hormone imbalances can be corrected! Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels and relieve troublesome symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally within the human body. This allows them to integrate seamlessly with existing hormone receptors.
Some examples of bioidentical hormones used in replacement therapy include:
These hormones are carefully compounded in specialty pharmacies to match the unique needs of each patient. Compounded bioidentical hormones are plant-derived, non-synthetic, and biologically similar to native human hormones.
Key benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy:
The first step is getting hormone levels tested to identify any imbalances. Based on the test results, a customized treatment plan can be created.
Here is an overview of the general process for starting bioidentical HRT:
Delivery methods for bioidentical hormones include:
The route of administration will depend on the hormonal deficit, treatment goals, and patient preferences.
Dosages are carefully tailored to the individual based on lab testing, medical history, symptoms, age, and other considerations. Hormone levels will be periodically re-evaluated to ensure proper treatment.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are lacking, so claims of superiority are currently unproven scientifically.
Alongside bioidentical hormone therapy, making certain diet and lifestyle adjustments can help manage hormone levels:
Nutrition: Eat more fiber, protein, omega-3 fats, fruits, and vegetables. Reduce sugar, processed carbs, alcohol, caffeine. Stay hydrated.
Exercise: Get regular cardio and strength training. Yoga, pilates, walking, and jogging are great options.
Stress management: Practice meditation, deep breathing, journaling, or other relaxing hobbies. Prioritize self-care.
Sleep hygiene: Stick to consistent bedtime/waketimes. Limit electronics before bedtime. Create an optimal sleep environment.
Community: Connect with local support groups. Share experiences and advice.
Routine health screening: Get regular checkups. Monitor key markers like blood pressure, blood sugar, bone density.
Mindset: Surround yourself with positive people. Keep an attitude of hope, resilience, and self-compassion.
