Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Winter Park, FL
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) helps men and women restore balance when their natural hormone levels decline or become disrupted. At Winter Park Family Physicians, we carefully review your symptoms, medical conditions, history, and lab work before recommending a personalized BHRT plan for patients in Winter Park, FL .
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormones regulate nearly every essential function in your body, including metabolism, sleep, mood, energy, and sexual health. When they drop or fall out of balance, the effects can cascade across multiple systems. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, which allows them to be used to replenish what is missing.
Symptoms BHRT Can Help Improve
Common symptoms of menopause and hormone decline can be dramatically improved with BHRT, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood changes and irritability
- Memory loss and brain fog
- Weight gain
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Low libido
- Fatigue and reduced muscle strength
For many patients, BHRT also improves vitality, energy, mental clarity, mood, weight management, and even muscle strength.
BHRT for Women
Perimenopause and menopause bring changes in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Our physicians tailor treatment to your stage of life and may combine BHRT with EMSELLA or the O-Shot® to support intimate wellness, along with routine preventive screenings.
BHRT for Men
Declining testosterone can cause fatigue, weight gain, low libido, and reduced muscle mass. Through our men’s health program, we evaluate your levels and symptoms and may recommend BHRT alongside the P-Shot® or medical weight loss support.
Available Forms of BHRT
BHRT comes in several forms, including creams, pills, injections, and pellets. We consider your preferences, lifestyle, and health history when recommending the best delivery method, and we monitor your levels over time to keep your treatment safe and effective.
A Whole-Body Approach to Hormone Health
Hormones do not work in isolation. We often evaluate thyroid function, gut health, and stress as part of our functional medicine and anti-aging medicine approach.
