Benefits

The benefits of BHRT for men and women

When low or unbalanced hormones are behind your symptoms, BHRT can help you feel more like yourself. Patients commonly report more energy, a better sex drive and better sleep. Women often see fewer hot flashes and less vaginal dryness, and men often notice their workouts paying off again. Results vary from person to person.

Who it's for

Common reasons people come to us:

  • Men and women whose lab work shows low or unbalanced hormones
  • Women going through or past menopause
  • Men with symptoms of low testosterone

Boosted energy levels

For both men and women, lower levels of progesterone, DHEA and testosterone can leave you tired all day. Over time, that fatigue can make it hard to get through normal daily activities. Patients who start BHRT often report better sleep, more motivation and more alertness.

Improved sex drive

As BHRT restores hormone levels, both men and women can notice an improved sex drive. Patients often describe a stronger libido and a more satisfying experience with their partner.

Better sleep

People with low levels of certain hormones often have hot flashes, especially at night. After starting BHRT, many patients find these symptoms ease and they sleep better, which can bring more energy and a better sense of balance.

For women

Less vaginal dryness

As menopause sets in, some women develop vaginal atrophy, with dryness, pain during sex and sometimes itching or discomfort. BHRT can raise estrogen levels, and many women notice more comfort and less pain during sex.

Fewer hot flashes

Fluctuating hormones during menopause often cause hot flashes. BHRT can reduce how often they happen.

For men

Heart health

As men age, testosterone levels can fall sharply. Low testosterone has been linked with a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Research on whether treatment lowers those risks is ongoing, and we’ll talk through what’s known for your situation.

Better workouts

Many men find their workouts become less effective with age, however often they train. When low testosterone is the cause, raising it can help you work out closer to your potential.

Weight

Hormone changes can make weight harder to manage. If weight is your main concern, ask about our SlimShot medical weight loss program.

Questions

What is BHRT?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that match the ones your body makes. It’s used to bring hormone levels back into balance when age or menopause has thrown them off.

Is BHRT only for women?

No. We treat both men and women. Men’s care usually focuses on testosterone, while women’s care usually balances estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
