Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Bio-Identical Hormones
Supporting Balanced Hormones with Compounded and Natural Solutions

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is commonly used to manage symptoms associated with hormonal changes, particularly menopause and andropause. Symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances may be significantly improved with the right therapy.

Understanding the Types of Hormonal Therapies

Body-Identical Hormones
These are pharmaceutical-grade hormones, chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body. They are manufactured under strict regulations and quality controls and are available in standard dosages as pills, patches, gels, injections, and more.

Bio-Identical Hormones (Compounded Hormone Therapy)
Compounded bio-identical hormones are tailored to an individual's unique needs, offering custom formulations in creams, capsules, troches (oral lozenges), or pessaries. These preparations mimic the body’s natural hormones using plant-derived ingredients. Although produced in a lab, they closely resemble the body’s endogenous hormones.

What Compounding Offers:

• Customized dosages and combinations

• Multiple delivery formats (capsules, creams, troches, pessaries)

• Tailored treatment plans based on test results and symptoms

• An alternative to the “one size fits all” approach

Our compounding pharmacists can prepare formulations containing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or combinations, depending on the individual's requirements.

Who Might Benefit from Bio-Identical Hormones?

Bio-identical hormone therapy may be suitable for:

• Women experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause symptoms

• Men with age-related hormonal decline or low progesterone

• Individuals with poor response or sensitivity to conventional HRT

• Those seeking a more natural, personalized approach to hormone balance

Note: Therapy is initiated following a thorough consultation, medical history review, and hormone level testing. Ongoing monitoring ensures the treatment remains effective and safe.

Herbal vs. Compounded HRT – What’s the Difference?

Progesterone and Men’s Hormonal Health

While progesterone is often associated with women, it plays a vital role in men’s health. Low progesterone in men may lead to:

• Hair loss and weight gain

• Mood changes and fatigue

• Erectile dysfunction or impotence

• Increased risk of prostate issues and bone loss

Customized compounded formulations may help restore hormonal balance and support overall vitality.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Support

In addition to HRT or herbal solutions, lifestyle changes can play a crucial role:

• Diet: Include whole grains, essential fatty acids, phytoestrogen-rich foods (like soybeans, flaxseed, and legumes)

• Exercise: Regular physical activity supports hormone regulation

• Stress Reduction: Meditation, yoga, and sleep hygiene enhance treatment success

• Supplementation: Consider vitamins like B-complex, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s under practitioner guidance
