Bio-identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)

Hot flashes keeping you up at night? 
Mood swings making you crazy?
​At your wit's end and just want to feel like yourself again?

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) 

BHRT is used for a variety of concerns surrounding menopause including:
  • Hot flashes
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety/Depression
  • Vaginal Dryness
  • Low energy
  • and more... 
Bio-identical hormones are produced to be structurally identical to the hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that our body makes naturally. They are also primarily derived from plant sources and for these reasons they are often called “natural” hormones. 

​Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), such as premarin, are synthetic hormones that are structurally different than human hormones. Many women notice an increase in side effects with conventional HRT and are concerned with their long-term side effects and health risks. 

​Dr. Rothwell always prefers to use BHRT in conjunction with other naturopathic modalities including nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbs, vitamins, and acupuncture to ensure maximal effect and long term resolution of symptoms. As with any medication, we aim to use the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time to bring you relief from your symptoms. 
All patients undergoing BHRT treatment require recent laboratory work (including hormone levels)
