Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is changing lives every day. As we age, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to uncomfortable symptoms and health risks. BHRT can help restore optimal hormone levels so you can feel your best again.
BHRT involves replacing hormones that decline with age, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, with plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body. This personalized approach provides a more natural hormone balance than traditional hormone replacement therapy.
At The Hormone Hub in Staten Island, our practitioners have extensive experience using BHRT to help patients overcome hormone deficiencies and recapture their health, vitality, and quality of life. We'll explore the features and benefits of bioidentical hormones, who can benefit from BHRT, what to expect, and why The Hormone Hub is the premier choice for bioidentical hormone therapy in Staten Island.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced naturally in the body. This allows them to interact with hormone receptors in precise ways to restore optimal hormonal balance. There are bioidentical versions of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and other vital hormones.
In contrast, traditional hormone replacement medications contain synthetic hormones that have different molecular structures. This can lead to increased side effects. The body recognizes bioidentical hormones as natural, which enables better hormone optimization.
There are many potential benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, including:
The benefits of BHRT are significant, but results vary by individual. Our practitioners will determine if BHRT is right for you through diagnostic testing and evaluation.
Bioidentical hormone therapy can be helpful for both men and women whose lab testing shows a hormonal imbalance. Common signs you may be a candidate include:
Both men and women over age 30-40 can be tested to identify hormone deficiencies early before significant symptoms arise. Our practitioners will evaluate your hormone levels, health history, and symptoms to provide precise, personalized recommendations.
The first step is advanced testing to pinpoint any hormone imbalances. Based on the test results, our practitioners will develop a customized BHRT plan just for you.
Here's a general overview of the bioidentical hormone replacement process:
Bioidentical hormones are available in capsules, creams, injectables, and pellet implants placed under the skin. Our practitioners will advise you on the best delivery options to meet your individual needs and goals.
Most patients start to feel results within a few weeks, as optimized hormone levels restore wellbeing. Follow-up testing helps ensure hormone levels are in the ideal range for you.
It's important to partner closely with your practitioner during therapy for best results. Our team will provide ongoing monitoring, prescriptions adjustments, and support to help you thrive on bioidentical hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the body.

For women approaching and during menopause, hormone production in the ovaries begins to decline:
Left unaddressed, these changes lead to hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruptions, vaginal dryness, anxiety, fatigue, low libido, and other menopause symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can provide relief.

Bioidentical testosterone is replenished to reinvigorate energy, muscle tone, stamina, cognition, mood stability and libido.
In combination, balanced bioidentical hormones can restore comfort, vitality and an overall sense of wellbeing during the menopause transition and beyond. Our practitioners have extensive experience using BHRT to optimize women's health and quality of life.
