Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is the use of bioidentical hormones designed to mimic the structure and function of naturally occurring hormones to coordinate everything from development and growth, metabolism, appetite, digestion, immune function, mood, and libido. When your hormones are unbalanced, it can have a huge impact on your health and wellbeing.

BHRT treatment starts with a comprehensive consult with Dr. Ross. Targeted comprehensive lab testing is ordered based on the consult and patient goals. Lab testing is generally required at regular intervals in the first year and then annually/biannually once patients are optimized.
There is a charge for some of the lab work required that will be billed separately. The cost of medications/supplements is the responsibility of the patient. Results are reviewed at follow up appointments and individual treatment plans are discussed. It takes 3-4 follow up appts typically in the first year to achieve optimal results.
Your body’s hormones control most of your basic bodily functions. They are basically messenger molecules that act as an internal communication system between cells throughout the body.
Bioidentical hormones (used in BHRT) are different from those used in traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in that they’re chemically identical to those our bodies produce naturally and are made from plants.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among those most commonly replicated and used in treatment. By balancing and optimizing all of the major hormones, we can achieve better results.
Perimenopause: This is the transition phase to menopause. Typically associated with fluctuating levels of estrogen and changes to your energy and mood.
