Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Helping Men and Women Regain Balance
Hormones are chemical messengers that affect nearly every system in your body—energy, mood, memory, metabolism, sexual health, and even how you respond to stress. When hormone levels shift, either gradually with age or more suddenly due to stress and lifestyle factors, you may notice your quality of life start to change.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in Madison WI and Middleton WI uses plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to those made by your body. Because of this close match, BHRT can restore balance in a way that feels more natural than synthetic alternatives.

- Hot flashes or night sweats
