WHAT IS BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (BHRT)?
Your hormones play an essential role in your mood, energy levels, libido, and overall health. As you age, your hormone levels change, which can create imbalances in both men and women alike. This can lead to decreased libido, hot flashes, fatigue, PMS, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, mood swings, and more. At Cameron Wellness and Spa, we specialize in providing bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to regulate the hormones in the body. As a natural alternative to synthetic hormones, BHRT is commonly used to treat the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Hormone therapy can also be used to address testosteorone deficiencies and erectile dysfunction (ED). To find out how you could benefit from hormone replacement therapy, book an appointment at our office in Salt Lake City, UT.

Candidates for hormone therapy should be in good general health, without a history of certain cancers, deep vein thrombosis, stroke, or blood clots.

HOW BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY WORKS (BHRT)
During a consultation at our SLC office, our team will get to know you and learn about your symptoms, health history, and preferences. Diagnostic tests will be conducted to check your hormone levels. We take a patient-centered approach in order to provide the ideal customized dose of hormones, which may include testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, pregnenolone, or a combination of hormones. Bioidentical hormones can be given as a capsule, suppository, cream, or injection. Hormone therapy is medically supervised so you will need to schedule follow-up visits so we can monitor your outcomes and make any needed adjustments over the next several weeks. In general, bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) produces few side effects because it involves hormones that are molecularly identical to natural human hormones.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER BHRT?
Since BHRT is a custom-designed treatment, it’s important to follow any post-care requirements supplied by Dr. Cameron. Individuals may undergo outcomes like swelling, acne, hair growth, and moodiness as the body modifies to the new hormone numbers. During the progression of your treatment, our staff will keep up with you to observe your growth. Your prescription and treatment schedule can also be improved as required. Some men and women experience the soothing results of hormone therapy over about a week consecutive to the first phase of their treatment.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps to rebalance the levels of hormones in your body when they decrease due to the natural effects of aging. For women, this means supplementing estrogen; for men, it’s testosterone. These hormones are replaced with bio-identical duplicates that can restore your hormones to the balance they had when you were younger. These help you to look, feel, and function with rejuvenated energy and a more youthful appearance.
Does BHRT help reduce belly fat?
Because hormone replacement therapy can help revitalize your metabolism, it helps your body burn fat more efficiently. This can help both women and men reduce belly fat and fat around the midsection.
Can bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) make you look younger?
Some studies have reported that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to restore the healthy growth of hair for many men and women.
