Anti Aging

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) in Hazlet, NJ

BHRT restores hormonal balance, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings.

Why it matters

Hormonal balance and healthy aging

Aging can be a scary prospect. In addition to the general stress and pains of growing old, we go through a number of physical and mental changes. For women, menopause is a major concern while men deal with low testosterone and andropause. Many age-related issues are the result of hormonal imbalances. Your body has a complex collection of glands called the endocrine system. Each of these glands generates crucial hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. Excessive or reduced levels of these hormones can wreak havoc on your system.

Hormones play a vital role in the overall health and function of our bodies. As we get older, our body chemistry changes and we often develop deficiencies in our hormone balance. At first, we develop age-related symptoms, such as lower energy, weight gain, bloating, aches and pains, and mood changes but if left untreated can lead to many chronic health problems.

Signs to watch for

Signs of menopause or related hormonal issues in women

The symptoms often first appear in women in menopause, when estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production starts to diminish. Menopause can also be caused at any age by a woman who has received a hysterectomy.

Why bioidentical

Chemically identical to your own hormones

Many women seek bio-identical hormone replacement as a way to combat menopause. BHRT is a way to fight aging and balance your hormones through the use of chemically and biologically identical hormones. This makes BHRT a different approach than conventional hormone replacement therapy, which uses synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormones do not have a structure comparable to human hormones and their levels cannot be as easily checked after being administered, while natural hormones like the ones used in BHRT can be carefully examined and monitored by blood tests.

Bioidentical hormones work to restore decreased hormone levels by replacing them with the same hormone the body is neglecting to produce — such as the body’s primary sex hormones: progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. Considering and treating these imbalances is key to what Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy provides. We do not replace hormones with synthetic chemicals, but restore your body’s natural, bioidentical hormones to their more youthful levels.

FAQ

BHRT questions

Still unsure? Call (732) 264-2233 and ask the front desk directly.

How is BHRT different from conventional hormone replacement?

Conventional hormone replacement therapy uses synthetic hormones with a structure that isn’t comparable to human hormones. BHRT uses hormones that are chemically and biologically identical to your own, which can be monitored with blood tests.

Is this treatment for women only?

No. Both men and women can experience hormonal imbalances — women through menopause, and men through low testosterone and andropause. BHRT is available for both.

How will I know if BHRT is right for me?

Your Board Certified Physician will discuss your symptoms and may use blood testing to confirm a hormonal imbalance before recommending treatment.

How is BHRT monitored?

Because bioidentical hormones closely match your body’s own, hormone levels can be regularly checked with blood tests to keep treatment on target.

Is it covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan and by the specific treatment. Ask our staff during your consultation.
