Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
As we age, our bodies produce less and less hormones. This can lead to a number of undesirable side effects, including but not limited to fatigue, muscle weakness, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety, depression, hair loss, wrinkles, dry skin, and more. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help combat these side effects by replenishing the hormones that our bodies are no longer producing.
What is the difference between HRT and BHRT?
Bioidentical hormones are different from those used in traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in that they're identical chemically to those our bodies produce naturally and are made from plants. The hormones used in traditional HRT are made from the urine of pregnant horses and other non-bioidentical hormones.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
TRT stands for testosterone replacement therapy. It's a treatment for men with symptomatic hypogonadism. TRT is different from anabolic steroids because it uses a lower amount of testosterone. TRT's goal is to treat low testosterone symptoms, while anabolic steroids are used to quickly get bodybuilding effects.
Benefits of TRT include:
• Increased libido
• Increased energy
• Improved bone density
• Stronger muscles
• Cardioprotective effects
