Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Restore Hormonal Balance with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, influencing nearly every aspect of your health. They regulate mood, energy levels, metabolism, sleep, immune function, and even skin health. When hormones are in balance, your body functions optimally.

However, as we age or face certain health challenges, hormone levels can fluctuate or decline, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood swings, hair loss, and sleep disturbances.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help restore balance, improve energy, enhance mental clarity, and boost overall quality of life. Whether you are navigating aging or dealing with persistent health issues, BHRT offers a safe and personalized solution tailored to your unique needs.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by your body. Over time, natural hormone levels decline, which can lead to symptoms such as:

Fatigue and low energy
Mood swings or depression
Sexual dysfunction or low libido
Hair thinning or loss
Weight gain or metabolic changes

At Hawaii Natural Medicine, we offer BioTE® hormone therapy, which uses hormones derived from natural plant sources. The hormones are delivered in pellet form, about the size of a grain of rice, and are inserted under the skin during a quick, virtually painless procedure.

How Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Works

BHRT supplements the body with hormones that may be deficient or imbalanced. By restoring hormonal balance, it helps alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations, including:

Chronic fatigue
Mood swings or irritability
Weight management challenges
Low libido
Sleep disturbances

With personalized hormone therapy, you can regain control over your health and experience improved energy, focus, and overall vitality.

What to Expect from BHRT (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy) at Hawaii Natural Medicine

If you’re struggling with hormone imbalance symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue, mood changes, or decreased energy, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) with hormone pellets may help restore balance and improve your quality of life.

Personalized BHRT Assessment

Before starting treatment, our team at Hawaii Natural Medicine evaluates your medical history, symptoms, lab results, hormone levels, and body mass index (BMI). This ensures the proper hormone dosage is selected for your individual needs.

Safe and Quick BHRT Procedure

The BioTE hormone pellet insertion is performed in-office and typically takes 4–10 minutes. Your provider uses local anesthesia to numb the area, then inserts 1–12 hormone pellets under the fatty tissue in your upper buttocks. The small incision is closed with sterile tape strips.

Continuous Hormone Absorption

Once inserted, the pellets release hormones directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to regulate hormone levels naturally. This method eliminates the need for daily creams, gels, or oral medications.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

As your body adapts to new hormone levels, staying in communication with your provider is essential. Our team monitors your progress and can adjust dosages as needed to maintain optimal hormone balance.

Duration and Maintenance

Hormone pellets typically last 3–6 months, depending on factors such as gender, weight, absorption rates, and initial hormone levels. Most patients require 2–4 pellet insertions per year to sustain balanced hormones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between BHRT and traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces, often derived from plant sources. This makes them a closer match to your natural hormones, potentially reducing the risk of side effects and enhancing efficacy. Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), on the other hand, may use synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animal sources, which can differ in structure and function from naturally occurring human hormones. Due to these differences, BHRT is often considered to be a more personalized and natural approach, whereas HRT may follow a more generalized treatment protocol.

How often do I need to receive BHT treatments?

Frequency of treatments varies for each individual and will be determined by a healthcare practitioner based on your specific needs.

Who is a good candidate for BHRT?

A good candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) includes individuals experiencing significant symptoms of menopause or andropause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, or decreased libido. Those diagnosed with hormonal imbalances like thyroid disorders or adrenal fatigue, who seek a more natural approach to hormone therapy using plant-derived hormones, and adults wishing to adopt preventive health measures against age-related hormonal decline are also suitable. Additionally, individuals who have tried traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) without success or have experienced adverse side effects may find BHRT a better fit. It is crucial for candidates to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure the therapy aligns with their health profile and goals.
