Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to supplement hormone levels that decline with age or due to medical conditions.
BHRT helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances. It also has protective effects against various age-related diseases.
When prescribed properly by an experienced hormone specialist, BHRT is a safe and effective anti-aging and wellness treatment. It can significantly improve one's vitality, appearance, and quality of life.
The first step is diagnosing hormone deficiencies or imbalances by testing key hormone levels in saliva, blood or urine samples.

Here are some examples of how BHRT from Harmonize Health has completely turned lives around.
Sarah D, age 37 came to us with symptoms of estrogen dominance - heavy periods, bad PMS and migraines before her cycle, fibroids, weight gain and difficulty losing weight around the middle despite exercising. She had very low testosterone as shown on her bloodwork.
We prescribed oral progesterone days 14-28 to rebalance her hormones and protect the uterine lining. We also compounded a testosterone cream that she uses daily on her abdomen.
Within 2 months Sarah's cycles normalized, fibroids shrunk, PMS and migraines disappeared. With her testosterone cream, she has much more energy for chasing her young kids and finally feels like herself again. The weight is gradually coming off without effort.
Michael B, age 52, was struggling with low T for a few years - low energy, enthusiasm and very low libido. This was taking a toll on his marriage. Blood tests showed very low free and total testosterone.
We started Michael on testosterone pellet implants every 4 months to restore levels. By 6 weeks he felt the old pep in his step. Morning erections reappeared. He has more energy for hobbies again and single-handedly remodeled their master bedroom! His wife is delighted with Michael's boosted libido and stamina.
Emily K, age 44,* came to us complaining "I feel like my body is attacking me!" - suffering hot flashes all day despite estrogen/progestin pills. She wasn't sleeping well, had brain fog and anxiety, with vaginal dryness. Her saliva testing showed very low progesterone and bottomed-out adrenal function.
We immediately changed her to bioidentical BiEst cream and progesterone suppositories. We also put her on hydrocortisone to support stressed adrenals. She now gets a great night's sleep which makes all the difference. With hormones balanced she feels calm and clear-headed with no more hot flashes. Her marriage has new zest!
These are just a small sampling of the dramatic restorations our patients enjoy with properly managed BHRT from Harmonize Health.
