Anyone approaching 40 years old, with or without symptoms, who would like to improve their current state or ensure they can negotiate the next decade optimally should consider BHRT. Current literature, as well as my 20-plus years of providing HRT, suggest that bio identical hormones are beneficial and effective for everyday use, contrary to the negative impacts of synthetic hormones.

What benefits can be expected after starting BHRT and how soon might you see results manifested?
There are numerous benefits that can be expected in the short term and long term, which may be unique to the individual who is being treated. However, within the first few months of BHRT treatments, we generally see improved sleep quality, increased daily energy, cognitive improvement, weight loss when needed, better mood, and progress in metabolic markers. Long-term results may include improved bone density, cardiovascular disease prevention, less cognitive impairment, less reliance on medications, and smooth transitions through menopause and andropause.

Why are bio-identical hormones safe compared to synthetic hormones?
Potential risks and side effects of synthetic hormones, as per Women’s Health Initiative Study (2006), include the following: Increased risk of hormone sensitive cancer, blood clots, and heart disease. Studies have demonstrated improved mood, sleep, and energy, in addition to zero health risks, when switching to bio identical hormones from synthetic hormones.
