What is BHRT?
Our bodies contain chemicals called hormones that play various crucial roles throughout our bodies. Your hormones are either balanced or out of balance (to varying degrees).
By understanding your symptoms and studying your specific lab results, our skilled providers can determine which hormones levels are too low causing an imbalance and may prescribe replacement therapy.
At Casad Health and Wellness Center, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), which means that we use replacement hormones that are structurally identical (hence, bioidentical) to the ones naturally produced by your body.
Who is this treatment for?
Hormone therapy is not prescribed on symptoms alone – it’s the rational conclusion after an imbalance in hormones are measured from blood tests.
However, BHRT may alleviate symptoms for the following patients:
- Women experience hot flashes or night sweats
- Men experiencing Erectile Dysfunction
- Patients noticing a change in mental state (Decreased memory, mood swings, brain fog)
- Patients noticing a change in energy levels or libido
- Women experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort
Causes of Hormonal Imbalance
Women and men can experience hormonal disruption or imbalances at any age. Here are just a few of the ways that hormones can become imbalanced.
Aging
Our bodies produce fewer hormones as we get older.
Medical Conditions
Thyroid disorders, diabetes, and adrenal disorders are just a few conditions that may cause hormone imbalance.
Diet and Nutrition
Poor nutrition and unhealthy dietary habits can impact hormone production and balance
Weight Change
Significant weight fluctuations can influence hormone levels – particularly insulin and sex hormones.

Why Come to Our Practice?
We see patients who have tried some BHRT therapies in the past, but who still don’t feel good. Our providers also see people who are having symptoms and don’t feel good, yet prior labs have shown “normal” and they’ve been told nothing is wrong with them, or that it might all be in their head.
Additionally, your lab work doesn’t only include testing of your sex hormones. We also test for other health markers, hormones, and key vitamin levels. This gives you a snapshot of your health and allows us to treat you from a holistic standpoint. We need this because hormones act synergistically with each other.
