Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help both men and women suffering from age-related hormone decline. It is customized for the individual using hormones identical to those the body makes naturally. This article from Wellspring Medical covers the basics of BHRT, its benefits, frequently asked questions, and why our clinic in Holt, MI, is the top choice for treatment.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced in the human body. The most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA.

Restored hormonal balance can quite literally help you look better, feel better, think clearer and live healthier!
There are various forms of bioidentical hormones: pills, creams, gels, injections, sublingual drops, pellets, patches, and rings. The hormones are synthesized from plant sources and molecularly identical to human hormones.
The method chosen depends on the patient's hormone profile, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and personal preference. Your customized replacement protocol aims to efficiently restore circulating hormone concentrations to optimal levels.
We carefully monitor hormone levels during treatment and make precise dosage adjustments based on follow-up blood or saliva testing. Most patients report significant improvements in multiple areas within 3-6 weeks once hormonal balance is re-established.
