Hormones play a vital role in regulating energy, mood, sleep, weight, and sexual health. When they fall out of balance — whether from aging, stress, or underlying health issues — the effects can be frustrating and disruptive. Fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, low libido, and brain fog are all signs that your hormones may need support.
If you’re looking to restore hormonal balance naturally, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at Genesis Integrative Medicine may be a good solution. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are designed to mimic the structure of those your body produces naturally, allowing for safer, more effective results.
As is the case with all our services, these treatments are administered under the guidance of Terra Hartman, FNP, APNP, RN, FAAMM, to ensure safety and efficacy.
What Is BHRT?
BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces. Because of this, the body recognizes them as natural, making them easier to absorb and utilize. BHRT is commonly used to treat hormone imbalances related to:
- Menopause and perimenopause
- Andropause (low testosterone in men)
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Adrenal fatigue
- Age-related hormonal decline
By restoring balance, BHRT helps relieve uncomfortable symptoms while supporting long-term wellness and disease prevention.
Signs You May Need BHRT
Hormone imbalances can present differently for everyone, but common symptoms include:
- Low energy and fatigue
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Low libido or sexual dysfunction
- Difficulty sleeping
- Brain fog or memory issues
If these symptoms interfere with your quality of life, BHRT may be an effective choice.
Our Approach to Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
At Genesis, we don’t use cookie-cutter hormone treatments. We take a personalized approach that begins with advanced lab testing and a comprehensive consultation.
We test levels of several key hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol. This allows us to identify imbalances and design a customized plan for your needs.
Based on your test results, we will provide customized prescriptions using bioidentical hormones in creams, capsules, or pellets. We also offer ongoing monitoring to ensure safety, balance, and effectiveness. We may recommend supportive therapies, such as IV nutrients, peptides, and lifestyle guidance, as well.
This whole-body approach ensures that your treatment doesn’t just relieve symptoms but truly restores balance.
Benefits of BHRT
Patients who choose BHRT often notice:
- Improved energy and reduced fatigue
- Easier weight management and improved metabolism
- Better mood stability and reduced anxiety or depression
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced sexual health and libido
- Sharper focus and memory
- Reduced risk of osteoporosis and age-related decline
Because bioidentical hormones mimic your body’s natural chemistry, results often feel more natural and balanced compared to synthetic options.
