What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical
to what your body naturally produces. The goal is not “more hormones,”  it’s the right balance,
at the right dose, based on your labs, symptoms, and response over time.

Who it can help

BHRT may help when hormone shifts contribute to fatigue, sleep disruption, mood changes,
weight changes, low libido, hot flashes, and brain fog in both women and men.
Your provider will confirm whether hormones are a factor with a full clinical workup and labs.

How Queen Creek Naturopathic approaches BHRT

  • Lab-guided decisions: testing informs the plan, not guesswork.
  • Personalized dosing: tailored to your physiology and goals.
  • Whole-person care: sleep, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle support your results.
  • Ongoing monitoring: follow-ups to optimize and keep safety at the center.

BHRT delivery options

There are multiple forms of BHRT. Your provider will recommend the best fit based on symptoms,
labs, medical history, and lifestyle.

Pellets (recommended for many patients)

Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded implants that offer a steady release of hormones.
This helps avoid the “rollercoaster” effect some patients feel with other methods.

  • Consistent levels throughout the day
  • Typically lasts ~3 - 4 months for women and ~6 months for men
  • Great for patients who want fewer daily steps

Creams

A flexible option that can be adjusted over time. Best for patients who prefer a topical route
and can maintain consistent daily use.

  • Customizable dosing
  • Daily routine required
  • Monitoring helps dial in the response

Troches

Dissolvable lozenges that are taken as directed. Your provider will determine whether this method
aligns with your goals and labs.

  • Convenient dosing format
  • Consistency matters
  • Follow-up labs guide adjustments

Injections

May be used when appropriate based on clinical picture and plan design. We focus on the dosing strategy,
timing, and monitoring to support a stable outcome.

  • Structured dosing schedule
  • Lab-guided optimization
  • Works well for certain treatment plans

Not sure which option fits you?

That’s the point of the consult. We review symptoms, labs, history, and preferences,
then recommend the right path for your body.
