Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. At Live and Restore Wellness, our focus is on restoring hormonal balance in a way that supports both immediate symptom relief and long‑term health. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can be an effective approach for managing symptoms associated with menopause, andropause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and insulin resistance.
Common symptoms of menopause and perimenopause can include changes in your menstrual cycle, hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping, mood shifts, vaginal dryness, and changes in libido or weight. These symptoms vary from person to person and can come and go as your hormones shift.
PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) formerly known as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) can cause irregular periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, weight changes, thinning hair on the scalp, and trouble getting pregnant. Some people also notice mood changes or difficulty managing blood sugar.
Andropause can lead to symptoms such as reduced energy, decreased libido, erectile changes, loss of muscle mass, increased abdominal fat, mood shifts, and difficulty concentrating. These changes are typically related to age‑associated declines in testosterone and can affect overall well‑being and quality of life.
Available Bioidentical Replacement Therapy Approaches at Live and Restore
At Live and Restore Wellness, we begin with an extended consultation that includes an in‑depth review of your medical history, current symptoms, and medication use. After your comprehensive laboratory results are available, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid support, and/or DHEA. These therapies are prescribed by our clinicians and filled by licensed pharmacies in the form of creams, injections, patches, or other appropriate prescription formulations to safely and effectively support optimal hormonal balance.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is prepared by compounding pharmacists in individualized formulations tailored to your specific clinical needs. When appropriately prescribed and monitored, BHRT may support symptom relief and promote long‑term health by optimizing hormonal balance. Reported benefits include but are not limited to improvements in energy, mood, cognitive function, metabolic health, sexual wellness, musculoskeletal strength, and overall quality of life.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy not only alleviates symptoms associated with hormonal decline but may also support long‑term health by contributing to the protection of cardiovascular, bone, cognitive, and metabolic function.
