HRT vs. BHRT: Understanding the Difference

Aging, stress, and lifestyle changes can all affect your body’s natural hormone balance leading to fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased libido. At our Oakland Park clinic, we specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help you restore balance, vitality, and confidence.

But what’s the real difference between HRT and BHRT and which is right for you? Let’s break it down.

Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) involves the use of synthetic or animal-derived hormones designed to supplement your body’s natural hormone levels.
It’s commonly used to manage symptoms of menopause, andropause (low testosterone in men), and other hormonal imbalances.

Benefits of HRT:

Reduces hot flashes and night sweats

Improves mood and energy

Restores sexual function

Prevents bone loss and supports heart health

Considerations:

Uses standardized dosages

May not perfectly match your body’s natural hormone structure

Requires ongoing medical monitoring

🌿 Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally by your body.
These are typically derived from plant sources (like yams or soy) and are compounded to match your unique hormonal profile.

Benefits of BHRT:

Customized to your individual hormone levels

Uses naturally identical molecular structures for smoother absorption

Can reduce common side effects seen in synthetic HRT

Supports more precise, personalized hormone optimization

Our patients choose BHRT for a more natural, balanced, and precise approach to hormone restoration.
They experience:

Sustainable energy and focus

Improved sleep and mood

Enhanced skin elasticity and body composition

Increased libido and vitality

A renewed sense of youth and confidence
