Balancing Hormones for a Better Mood


Published June 12, 2024

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones structurally identical to those naturally produced in the body. While BHRT is primarily associated with addressing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances (such as menopause or andropause), there is some evidence suggesting that hormonal balance can influence mood.

However, it’s important to note that the relationship between hormones and mood is complex, and individual responses can vary. Hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, can influence neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, which regulates mood.

Take Our Hormone Imbalance Quiz

If you are considering BHRT to help regulate your mood, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional. They can assess your specific hormonal levels and overall health and discuss your symptoms and concerns in detail.

What You Should Consider:

Is BHRT Right for Me?

Individual Variation

Responses to hormone therapy can vary among individuals. What works for one person may not work the same way for another.

Professional Guidance

Only a qualified healthcare provider, like a BodyLogicMD practitioner, can determine if BHRT is suitable for you. They will consider your medical history, conduct appropriate testing, and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

Mood Regulation

While some evidence suggests a link between hormones and mood, the effects of BHRT on mood can be multifaceted. It may help some individuals, but it’s not a guaranteed solution for everyone.

Comprehensive Approach

Managing moods may also involve lifestyle factors, stress management, and psychological support. BHRT could be part of a comprehensive approach if deemed appropriate.

Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms, concerns, and any potential treatment options. They can guide you on the most suitable course of action based on your individual health profile.

  • My wife and I first starting coming to BodyLogicMD a few years ago because we were both feeling the effects of aging. She was premenopausal with slight weight gain, night sweats, and low energy. I was suffering from very low testosterone, as most men over 40 did, and had little energy. My wife read a book about hormone treatment by Susanne Somers, and we searched out doctors in Birmingham that offered it and found BodyLogicMD. After being on our treatment plans for about 90 days, we both felt amazing, and our symptoms were gone. We have maintained our new lifestyle...Read More
  • "At the age of 44, I was tired of feeling tired. I couldn't sleep through the night, waking up with night sweats and just not able to shut off my brain. During the day, I had zero energy. The 3 pm slump would hit me like a ton of bricks every day - regardless of how well I slept the night before. My libido was pretty much zilch, and I had been severely moody. Worst of all (but don't tell my husband the non-existant libido wasn't the worst), I wasn't able to lose weight to save my life. After hearing about BodyLogicMD,...Read More

  • "Dr. Donohue has been my doctor for several years now and the change in my health has been amazing.  I no longer have that “foggy brain” feeling, and my thoughts are now clear and precise.  I have more energy, and look and feel healthier than I have ever felt before. My friends and family have taken notice and commented favorably.  With this new boost in energy, I’m able to exercise more that I did before, and that has resulted in a better looking and feeling body, and a lower number on the scale!  I absolutely trust Dr. Donohue, he’s knowledgeable...Read More
  • "My husband and I have been a patient of Dr. Donohue for the past several years, and we can honestly say that seeing him has been nothing short of a life-changing experience for us. As we grow “younger”, we have been plagued with many age-related deteriorations, both physically and mentally. Dr. Donohue’s precise BHRT therapy and supplements have made us feel and look as young as we feel in our hearts, plus I love the fact Dr. Donohue is prompt, and we never have to wait more than 5 minutes!!!!!!!! The staff at his office is wonderful as well; professional,...Read More
  • "Our greatest possession is our health. That is what makes everything else in life possible. It’s sad that we live in a civilization where most physicians talk but don’t really listen, and the average patient is given about 90 seconds of face time. Thankfully, I realized that does not have to be the case. Dr. Donohue looks at all facets of your health, in detail, to find the best solutions to optimize your health. Unrushed and face to face, Dr. Donohue explains the treatments in a way that is easy to understand.  Dr. Donohue and his staff are amazing and attentive, and quick...Read More
