At Peak Medical, we know that choosing the right hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a personal journey for both men and women. Whether you’re navigating menopause, andropause, or symptoms of hormonal imbalance, understanding your options empowers you to make the best choice for your health and vitality.

We’re here to help you explore the differences between Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and traditional HRT—so you can find a path that supports your energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Traditional HRT uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones to supplement declining hormone levels—most commonly estrogen and progesterone in women, and sometimes testosterone in men. This therapy has been widely used to manage symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and low libido.

Benefits of Traditional HRT:

• Proven effectiveness with decades of clinical research
• Standardized doses for consistent symptom relief

Considerations:

• Synthetic hormones may not perfectly match your body’s natural hormones
• Less personalized approach
• Some people experience unwanted side effects

BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. This personalized therapy is available for both women and men and can be compounded to match your individual hormone needs.

Benefits of BHRT:

• Bioidentical structure mimics your body’s natural hormones
• Customized to your unique hormone levels
• Available in multiple forms: creams, gels, pellets, and capsules

• Relief from menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats
• Improved sleep quality by supporting natural hormone cycles
• Enhanced vaginal health and comfort
• Support for bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis
• Increased energy and mental clarity

• Improved energy, stamina, and overall vitality

Your hormone journey is unique—and your therapy should be too. Here are a few considerations:

• Personalization: If you value a therapy that’s tailored to your unique hormone levels and health goals, BHRT may be your ideal solution.
• Natural Hormone Structure: BHRT’s bioidentical hormones closely mimic your body’s natural production, which many patients find more compatible and easier to tolerate.
• Convenience and Familiarity: Traditional HRT’s standardized doses and decades of research might appeal to those seeking a tried-and-true approach.
