As our bodies go through life, they undergo many changes, often influenced by fluctuating hormone levels. These changes can significantly affect how we feel, both physically and emotionally. At Foundations at Maitland, we understand this and offer a solution in the form of bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT).

What Makes Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Special?

Bioidentical hormone replacement is a specialized, natural approach to hormone replacement. The hormones used in BHT are derived from plant sources and are bioidentical, meaning they have the exact same molecular structure as your natural hormones. This identical match makes it easier for your body to recognize and use these hormones, leading to greater benefits with fewer side effects.

One of the main advantages of BHT is that it can be customized specifically for you. Bioidentical hormones are custom-made based on your exact hormonal profile, which is determined through comprehensive testing. This differs from traditional hormone replacement therapy, which often uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones.

Why Consider Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?

We all know that aging can bring on symptoms such as low energy, weight gain, mood swings, and reduced libido, often linked to hormonal imbalances. Bioidentical hormone therapy offers a natural solution to restore your hormone levels.

How BHT at Foundations at Maitland Makes a Difference

• Personalized for You: Our BHT is highly customized. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all remedies. Instead, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify your hormonal needs and tailor a treatment plan accordingly.
• Safe and Natural: Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as those produced by your body, making them more likely to be recognized and used effectively. This often results in fewer side effects and more natural improvements in your quality of life.
• Holistic Care: At Foundations at Maitland, we don’t view hormone therapy as the only solution. We support all areas that contribute to better health, including nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
• More Energy: Many patients experience an immediate boost in vitality after starting BHT. Bioidentical hormone therapy can significantly improve your life, whether it’s through increased energy, better mood, or improved sexual health.

Addressing Common Concerns about Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

We understand that starting a new treatment can bring uncertainties. Here are some common questions we receive about BHT:

• Am I a Good Candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy? Hormone replacement therapy can be an excellent fit if you’re experiencing symptoms that you believe may be caused by hormonal imbalances, such as fatigue, irritability, or decreased libido. The most effective way to determine if BHT is right for you is through our thorough assessment process at Foundations at Maitland.
• What Happens During Treatment? The experience of BHT can vary from person to person. Some patients feel improvements within a few weeks, while others may take longer to notice significant changes. Consistency and communication with your healthcare provider are key to success with BHT.
• Are There Risks or Side Effects? Like any treatment, there may be potential risks or side effects with bioidentical hormones, but they are generally well-tolerated. Most side effects are mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the new hormone levels. We closely monitor your progress to ensure any side effects are minimized.
• How Long Will I Need Hormone Therapy? The duration of bioidentical hormone therapy varies from person to person. Some people may need treatment for an extended period, while others might only require it for a shorter time. Regular assessments with your provider will help determine the appropriate length of therapy.
