Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), or bio-identical hormone therapy refers to the use of hormones that are near identical on a molecular, compound level to naturally occurring hormones in the body. With the use of a thorough medical history, blood testing of hormone levels, and the implementation of FDA approved or specialized pharmacy compounded hormones, one can obtain optimal levels in the body. Many hormones used in BHRT may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid among several others.
