What is BHRT for Women?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a powerful treatment that corrects hormone imbalances, helping women of all ages feel more energized, focused, and in control. It’s not just for women in menopause—BHRT addresses a wide range of hormonal issues that affect your mood, energy, weight, and overall well-being.

Hormonal Imbalance: More Than Just Menopause

While BHRT is often associated with treating menopause symptoms, many women face hormonal imbalances unrelated to menopause. If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, or low libido, the cause could be hormonal.

Here are some common symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, even if you're not in menopause:

Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Fatigue

Feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get.

Weight Gain or Loss
Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss

Hormonal shifts can lead to changes in metabolism, causing weight fluctuations.

Mood Swings and Anxiety

Irritability, anxiety, or depression can be linked to hormone levels.

Low Libido

Thyroid Disorders

Hormones impact thyroid function, which regulates your metabolism and energy.

If these symptoms sound familiar, BHRT could be the solution you've been looking for.

How BHRT Treats Hormonal Imbalance

Unlike medications that just treat the symptoms, BHRT targets the root cause: hormonal imbalance. By restoring your hormone levels to optimal ranges, BHRT can alleviate many of the uncomfortable symptoms that disrupt your life, helping you regain control.

BHRT Helps By:

Balancing Estrogen and Progesterone

These hormones regulate everything from your mood to your metabolism. BHRT restores these levels, stabilizing mood, improving energy, and regulating weight.

Supporting Thyroid Health

BHRT can help correct imbalances in the thyroid gland, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings.

Boosting Libido and Sexual Health

By restoring hormone levels, BHRT helps improve sexual desire and intimacy.

BHRT Benefits Beyond Menopause

BHRT is ideal for women experiencing hormonal imbalances at any stage of life, including those dealing with:

Chronic Fatigue

If you feel constantly tired despite getting enough rest, hormone therapy can help restore your energy.

Thyroid Disorders

BHRT helps manage symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as sluggishness, weight gain, and brain fog.

Stress and Adrenal Fatigue

Prolonged stress can lead to adrenal exhaustion and hormonal imbalances. BHRT restores hormone levels to help you manage stress and regain vitality.

Mood Swings and Depression

Balancing your hormones can stabilize mood swings, anxiety, and feelings of depression.

Methods of Administering BHRT

At AsandraMD, we offer several ways to administer BHRT, allowing us to personalize 
your treatment:

Pellet Therapy

Tiny bioidentical hormone pellets are inserted under the skin and release hormones consistently over 3-4 months. This method provides the most consistent hormone levels and is ideal for busy women who want hassle-free therapy.

Creams and Gels

Applied topically, these are easy to use but require daily application and can sometimes lead to inconsistent results.

Patches

These patches deliver hormones through the skin but need regular replacement and can cause irritation.

Oral Pills

Oral Pills

Taken daily, pills are convenient but often result in fluctuating hormone levels and require more frequent monitoring.

Who is BHRT For?

You don’t have to be in menopause or perimenopause to benefit from BHRT. This treatment is ideal for women experiencing hormonal imbalances due to:

  • Thyroid Issues:
    Low energy, weight gain, or difficulty concentrating.
  • Adrenal Fatigue:
    Long-term stress and exhaustion.
  • Mood Disorders:
    Persistent mood swings, anxiety, or depression.
  • Low Libido or Sexual Health Concerns: 
    BHRT can help restore sexual desire and satisfaction.
  • Unexplained Weight Changes:
    Struggling to maintain a healthy weight despite diet and exercise.

If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, BHRT may be right for you.
