Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
BHRT stands for Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It is a medical treatment that involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. These bio-identical hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to replicate the molecular structure of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
The goal of BHRT is to address hormonal imbalances in the body, which can occur due to factors such as aging, menopause, or other medical conditions. Hormonal imbalances can lead to a variety of symptoms and health issues, including fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and reduced libido.
Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies that use synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are more natural to your body's own hormones and safer than synthetic ones.
BHRT is often customized for each individual based on their specific hormonal needs, and treatment plans may include hormone creams, gels, pills, or other forms of administration. It's important for individuals considering BHRT to consult with a healthcare professional experienced in hormone therapy to determine the appropriateness of the treatment and to monitor its effects on an ongoing basis.

Who can't take BHRT
While Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can be beneficial for many individuals, there are certain groups of people who may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any hormone replacement therapy to assess individual health factors and potential risks. Here are some general considerations for individuals who might not be suitable candidates for BHRT:
Individuals with a history of certain medical conditions, such as certain types of cancer (e.g., breast or uterine cancer), liver disease, blood clots, or cardiovascular problems, may be advised against BHRT due to potential health risks.
