When BHRT May Be Considered

BHRT may be considered for men who are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance and have had their hormone levels tested to confirm the imbalance. Testosterone is one of the primary hormones that may be addressed with BHRT in men. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but some men may experience a more significant decline, leading to symptoms of low testosterone (also known as hypogonadism or Low-T).

In addition to low testosterone, other hormonal imbalances, such as low DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) or imbalances in thyroid hormones, may also be addressed with BHRT. A BodyLogicMD practitioner can perform tests to determine the specific hormone levels and identify any imbalances that may be present.

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
