BHRT

Hormones control more than you might think. They regulate energy, metabolism, sleep, mood, libido, muscle mass, and how your body stores fat. When they decline or fall out of balance, the effects can feel frustrating and overwhelming. You might feel tired no matter how much sleep you get, gain weight despite eating well, lose interest in intimacy, or struggle with brain fog and irritability.

BHRT, or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. This personalized approach to hormone optimization can help restore balance and support whole-body wellness.

What Is BHRT?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a medical treatment designed to correct hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources and structured to match your body's own hormones exactly.

• Hormones are customized to your unique levels and needs
• May include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, or DHEA depending on what your labs show
• Delivered through pellets, creams, patches, or oral capsules depending on your preference and goals
• Dosing is adjusted over time based on how you feel and follow-up testing

At Physician Artistry, BHRT is overseen by Dr. Bruce Thomas, our medical director. Treatment begins with a comprehensive review of your symptoms, health history, and lab work. We don't guess. We test, treat, and track your progress.

What to Expect

• Initial consultation: Review symptoms, discuss goals, and order baseline lab work to assess hormone levels
• Custom treatment plan: Based on your labs and health profile, Dr. Thomas will recommend the right type and dose of bioidentical hormones
• Delivery method: Options include hormone pellets inserted under the skin, topical creams, patches, or oral supplements
• Results timeline: Many patients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within 2 to 4 weeks. Full benefits may develop over 3 to 6 months
• Follow-up care: Regular lab monitoring and symptom check-ins ensure your dosing stays optimized as your body and needs change

There is no downtime with BHRT. If you receive pellet therapy, you may need to avoid vigorous exercise or baths for a few days after insertion.

Who BHRT Is For

Hormone therapy may be a good fit if you are experiencing symptoms related to aging, menopause, andropause, or chronic stress. BHRT is not just an anti-aging treatment. It's a tool for improving quality of life at any stage.

• Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, or low libido
• Men dealing with andropause, low testosterone, fatigue, reduced muscle mass, or sexual health concerns
• Adults with unexplained weight gain, brain fog, sleep disturbances, or lack of energy despite healthy habits
• Patients looking for a personalized medicine approach rooted in lab work and medical oversight

Not everyone is a candidate for hormone therapy. Dr. Thomas will review your health history, current medications, and risk factors before recommending treatment.
