Aging, stress, and lifestyle factors can cause hormonal imbalances that affect everything from mood and energy levels to metabolism and skin health. At Blaine Plastic Surgery, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)to help patients restore their hormonal balance and reclaim their vitality.

Led by Dr. Christine Blaine, a board-certified plastic surgeon, our team provides customized BHRT solutions for men and women looking to enhance their overall wellness and quality of life.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT is a natural approach to hormone replacement that uses plant-derived hormones, which are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are tailored to match your unique hormonal needs, minimizing side effects while maximizing benefits.

Common hormones addressed with BHRT include:

  • Estrogen – Essential for bone health, cardiovascular function, and cognitive clarity.
  • Progesterone – Regulates mood, sleep, and reproductive health.
  • Testosterone – Crucial for energy, muscle mass, libido, and mental sharpness.
  • Thyroid Hormones – Key players in metabolism, energy levels, and weight management.

Signs You May Have a Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can manifest in many ways, affecting both men and women. If you’re experiencing any of the following, BHRT may be a solution:

  • Chronic fatigue and low energy
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Brain fog and memory problems
  • Sleep disturbances and insomnia
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Low libido and sexual dysfunction
  • Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
  • Dry skin and thinning hair

BHRT works by replenishing essential hormones that naturally decline with age, helping you feel and function at your best.

Why Choose BHRT Over Traditional Hormone Therapy?

Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy, which often relies on synthetic hormones, BHRT is tailored to your body’s exact needs. Here’s why patients prefer bioidentical hormone therapy:

  • Personalized Treatment Plans – BHRT is custom-compounded based on lab results and individual symptoms.
  • Lower Risk of Side Effects – Because bioidentical hormones mimic natural hormones, they are often better tolerated.
  • Improved Absorption – Available in multiple delivery methods, including creams, pellets, patches, and injections.
  • Whole-Body Benefits – BHRT doesn’t just manage symptoms; it supports overall health, from metabolism to mental clarity.

The Benefits of BHRT for Men and Women

BHRT can significantly enhance overall well-being by:

  • Boosting energy levels and reducing fatigue
  • Enhancing mood and mental clarity
  • Improving sleep patterns and quality
  • Supporting weight loss and metabolism
  • Increasing libido and sexual function
  • Strengthening bones and muscle tone

Studies have shown that balanced hormones contribute to longevity, heart health, and cognitive function.
