Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: 7 Reasons You Should Try It


Published August 2, 2022

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)? You may have heard about it, but you’re not sure what it is and whether or not it could be right for you. That’s understandable — the world of hormones can be confusing. But don’t worry. We’re here to clear things up for you. 

BHRT is a form of hormone therapy that uses natural hormones that are identical in chemical structure to the hormones produced by your body. This means they work better with your body and can help correct hormone imbalances caused by menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone, and other conditions.

Benefits of BHRT for Women

As any woman over the age of 40 knows, menopause can be a difficult time. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and weight gain are just some of the symptoms that can make this time of life a real challenge. However, there is hope. BHRT can provide relief from many of the symptoms of menopause.

BHRT uses hormones identical to the ones produced by the human body. This makes them more easily absorbed and less likely to cause side effects than synthetic hormone replacements. BHRT can be customized to each woman’s individual needs, making it an effective treatment for a wide range of symptoms, including:

The list above mentions just some of the ways BHRT can help women feel like themselves again. But there are other benefits to this therapy as well. BHRT can help prevent some of the long-term effects of menopause, such as osteoporosis and heart disease. It may also help improve your overall sense of well-being and quality of life.

Benefits of BHRT for Men

BHRT is a treatment that has been traditionally used to alleviate symptoms in menopausal women. However, recent studies have shown that BHRT can also be beneficial for men when administered consistently and under the supervision of a professional holistic care provider or doctor. 

Testosterone levels naturally decline as men age, and this can lead to several problems, including: 

BHRT can help address these issues by replacing the missing testosterone. In addition, BHRT can also improve bone density, reduce cholesterol levels, improve conditions like dry skin and thinning hair, and boost energy levels. As a result, it is no surprise that BHRT is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option for men as they age.

Seven Reasons You Should Try BHRT

1) Effective – Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment for symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone and other hormone imbalances. For example, one study found several women using BHRT showed significant improvements in emotional stability, decreased irritability and anxiety, and decreased physical symptoms of night sweats and hot flashes. 

2) Safe – BHRT is a safe and effective treatment for hormone imbalances. In fact, it has been used safely for decades since first being introduced in the 1930s.

3) Natural – Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants. They are identical in chemical structure to the hormones produced by your body. This means they work with your body, not against it. 

4) Customizable – BHRT is a customized treatment based on your specific needs. Before beginning treatment, your hormone levels are tested, and your BHRT therapy is tailored to your needs. 

5) Convenient – BHRT is a convenient treatment that easily fits into your daily routine. 

6) Affordable – BHRT is an affordable treatment option, especially when compared to other forms of hormone therapy. 

7) Time-Tested – Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been used safely for almost a hundred years. This means there is a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from. 

Start the Process with At-Home Testing

Hormone testing might sound complicated, but it’s a pretty simple process. You can even do it at home. 

At-home hormone testing is an easy and effective way to get the information your practitioner needs to design a personalized regimen tailored for your BHRT needs. It’s quick, painless, and, best of all, convenient. You don’t have to take time off from work or miss important family commitments. Instead, you can do it on your own schedule, in the comfort of your own home. Plus, at-home hormone testing is more affordable than you might think. 

So why wait? Get started today and see the difference hormone therapy can make in your life.

  • 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
