Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) What It Is BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, etc.) to restore declining hormone levels, typically during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause (men). Common Signs You Might Need It Hot flashes or night sweats Fatigue and low energy Brain fog or memory issues Low libido Mood swings, anxiety, or depression Weight gain (especially belly fat) Sleep problems Vaginal dryness (women) or erectile issues (men) How to Find Out You need lab testing to confirm hormone imbalances. Here are good starting points: Wiley Protocol practitioners – structured, evidence-based BHRT approach BodyLogicMD – network of BHRT-specialized physicians Midi Health – telehealth focused on women's hormonal health Evelyn Health – modern telehealth BHRT option Defy Medical – good for both men and women For at-home testing first, try DUTCH Test (comprehensive hormone panel) or Everlywell hormone tests. Important Note Always work with a licensed healthcare provider who specializes in hormonal health — not all doctors are equally trained in BHRT. Avoid one-size-fits-all approaches.
