Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
At NP Health Clinic, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help patients restore hormonal balance and improve overall health and well-being. Hormones play a critical role in regulating many functions in the body, including metabolism, sleep, mood, energy levels, reproductive health, and cognitive function.
As we age, hormone levels naturally decline or fluctuate, which can lead to symptoms that affect quality of life. Through comprehensive hormone assessment and personalized treatment plans, our clinicians work with patients to address hormonal imbalances safely and effectively.
Our goal is to help patients achieve better energy, improved mental clarity, balanced mood, and enhanced overall wellness through carefully monitored, individualized hormone therapy.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones are derived from plant sources and formulated to mimic the body’s own hormonal chemistry.
BHRT may be prescribed to support hormonal balance when natural hormone production decreases or becomes irregular due to aging, menopause, andropause, or other health conditions.
Common hormones evaluated and treated may include:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Thyroid hormones (when appropriate)
Treatment plans are always tailored to the individual patient’s needs, laboratory results, and health goals.
