Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is used to treat both men and women experiencing imbalances or drops in their naturally-occurring hormones. Hormones are responsible for most of your essential bodily functions, so when they are disrupted in any way, cascade effects across all your systems can ensue.
Hormones like Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA, and the three thyroid hormones are all critical for harmony in the body. Hormonal imbalance leads to many symptoms that include weight gain, hair loss, lack of energy, hot flashes, sleep disturbance, joint pain, headaches, night sweats, erectile dysfunction, and an overall decline in health.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) restores your body and halts aging in its tracks. A comprehensive health regimen can be designed for you through compounded, plant-based hormones that assimilate well with your body. YoungerMeMD patients have found an overall better quality of life with freedom from symptoms through hormonal balance.
Most commonly, BHRT is utilized to ease symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, although we can use them to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Mental clarity
- Low sex drive or libido
- Incontinence
- Anxiety

Symptoms that are common with menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, memory loss, weight gain, sleep issues, and low libido can be dramatically improved with BHRT. For many other conditions, BHRT can improve vitality, energy, mental clarity, mood, weight loss, and even muscle strength!
