Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Right for You?
At Glo Medical, our mission is to support men and women in achieving optimal health and vitality through evidence-based integrative medicine. As we age, natural hormone production often declines, leading to imbalances that can manifest as fatigue, reduced energy, mood changes, sleep disturbances, decreased libido, weight gain, and other symptoms that impact daily life and overall well-being.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body, derived from plant sources. This personalized approach aims to restore hormonal balance based on individual laboratory testing and clinical evaluation, potentially alleviating symptoms and supporting long-term health.
Our providers take a comprehensive view of your health, evaluating factors such as sleep quality, hydration, nutrition, physical activity, and targeted supplementation alongside BHRT when appropriate. Treatment plans are tailored to your unique needs, with ongoing monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy.
We are committed not only to helping you manage symptoms but to empowering you to thrive with renewed energy, resilience, and quality of life.
If you're experiencing signs of hormonal imbalance, we encourage you to schedule a consultation for a thorough assessment, including advanced hormone panel testing.
Potential Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
At Glo Medical, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones are typically derived from plant sources and can be customized through compounding to address individual needs.
Key features of our BHRT approach include:
-
Plant-derived sources: Bioidentical hormones are synthesized from botanical compounds (such as soy or yam), resulting in molecular structures that match endogenous human hormones.
-
Personalized formulations: Compounded preparations allow for tailored dosages and delivery methods (e.g., creams, pellets, or oral forms) based on your unique physiology.
-
Evidence-based monitoring: Dosages are guided by comprehensive hormone panel testing, with close ongoing supervision to optimize balance and minimize risks.
-
Physiological compatibility: Because they mirror the body's own hormones, bioidentical options may integrate more seamlessly with natural metabolic pathways.
-
Individualized evaluation: Thorough lab testing, symptom assessment, and medical history review help determine if BHRT is appropriate for you.
Sharon Higuchi, MSN, NP-C, will conduct a detailed consultation to review your options, discuss evidence-based benefits and risks, and determine if BHRT aligns with your health goals. We prioritize FDA-approved therapies when suitable and use compounding only when clinically indicated for personalization.
