Women's Hormone Balancing — BHRT

Feel Like Yourself Again.
Not a Diminished Version.

Perimenopause, menopause, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance don't have to define your quality of life. Bioidentical hormone therapy restores what your body is losing — naturally and precisely.

What You May Be Experiencing

These Symptoms Are Real.
And They're Addressable.

Many women are told their symptoms are "just part of aging" or dismissed with antidepressants. Often, the root cause is hormonal — and when balanced correctly, the symptoms resolve.

Perimenopause & Menopause
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Sleep disturbances and insomnia
  • Irregular or heavy periods
  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
  • Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
  • Joint pain and muscle aches
General Hormonal Imbalance
  • Persistent fatigue regardless of sleep
  • Unexplained weight gain — especially midsection
  • Hair thinning or excessive shedding
  • Skin changes — dryness, acne, or dullness
  • Bloating, fluid retention, or breast tenderness
  • Low energy and motivation
  • Thyroid symptoms — cold intolerance, constipation
  • Adrenal fatigue and stress sensitivity
Perimenopause vs Menopause

Two Stages. Same Evaluation.

The labels differ. The process does not: consult, panel, review, then a protocol if you are a candidate. More on the menopause care guide — this page is the clinical BHRT program.

Perimenopause
  • The transition years — cycles may still occur
  • Symptoms can start while hormones are shifting month to month
  • Sleep, mood, cycle, and libido changes are common reasons to test
  • The evaluation is still labs-first
Menopause
  • Classically twelve months without a period
  • The conversation may differ; the process does not
  • Consult, comprehensive panel, then a protocol only if you are a candidate
  • The menopause care guide maps the midlife picture; this page is the BHRT program
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic

Why We Use Bioidentical
Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces. Unlike synthetic alternatives, they're compounded to match your exact needs — your labs drive every dose.

Bi-Est
Topical & transdermal only

Estrogen is prescribed by topical and transdermal routes only — absorbed through the skin. The usual prescription is Bi-Est, not estradiol as the standard starting prescription. There is no oral or vaginal menu.

Progesterone
Bone, mood, sleep & balance

Bioidentical progesterone is prescribed for all women in this conversation — not only for endometrial protection. Bone, mood, and sleep are part of why it is used, alongside balancing estrogen.

Testosterone
Libido, Energy & Cognition

Women produce testosterone too — and low levels cause low libido, fatigue, poor body composition, and cognitive decline. A small, properly dosed amount makes a substantial difference. This is a low-dose female protocol inside BHRT — not mini-TRT. See testosterone for women.

Thyroid (T3 & T4)
Metabolism & Energy

Thyroid dysfunction affects roughly 1 in 8 women. We test beyond TSH alone — measuring free T3, free T4, and reverse T3 to find dysfunction that standard panels miss. More on thyroid care →

DHEA
Adrenal & Vitality

A precursor to both estrogen and testosterone. DHEA declines sharply with age and chronic stress. Restoring optimal levels supports energy, libido, immune function, and mood.

Cortisol & Adrenals
Stress & Recovery

Chronic adrenal stress depletes hormones at every level. We assess adrenal function and address burnout patterns that interfere with hormone balance — and overall quality of life.

Where we can treat you: women's hormone therapy is available by telehealth to Florida residents only. In-person care at our Oakland Park clinic is open to patients from any state.
Important: Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Our evaluation process is designed to identify candidates who will benefit most and screen for contraindications. All protocols are supervised and adjusted based on regular follow-up labs.

FAQ

BHRT — Common Questions

What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transition. Cycles may still happen. Menopause is classically twelve months without a period. Same evaluation either way — see the menopause care guide.

What does bioidentical mean?

The molecule matches the hormone the body already makes. Doses follow labs — not a template. More in bioidentical hormones for women.

How is estrogen prescribed?

Topical and transdermal only. The usual prescription is Bi-Est (not estradiol as the standard starting prescription), plus bioidentical progesterone. There is no oral or vaginal menu.

Do all women get progesterone?

Yes — progesterone is part of women's hormone care here, not only for endometrial protection. Bone, mood, and sleep are part of why it is prescribed.

Do women need testosterone?

Women produce it. When it is discussed, it is a low-dose female protocol inside BHRT — not mini-TRT. Not every woman. Labs decide. Testosterone for women.

What labs do you run?

A comprehensive female panel — 70+ factors. Published price $100 to $345. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, thyroid markers (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3), cortisol, and metabolic markers.

How often are labs rechecked?

Typically at 6–8 weeks after a protocol starts, then as needed. The first protocol is not the last conversation.
