Supercharge Your Hormone Levels
Trying to boost your hormone levels? We understand why: They play a pivotal role in reproductive health and non-reproductive physiological processes. That’s why we’ve introduced BHRT in Winter Garden at Horizons OBGYN & Aesthetics.
Supplementing your body with estrogen and progesterone can alleviate symptoms of menopause and hormonal imbalances. Delving into this treatment with us will offer you a better understanding of how your body regulates your hormones and the effects that they have on your health.
How BHRT in Winter Garden Works
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses plant-derived hormones to replenish your levels of estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone. This therapy eases symptoms of declining hormones, like lack of energy, poor sleep quality, mood swings, and more.
BHRT is different from HRT because the hormones are chemically identical to the hormones our own body produces. This provides a safer and more effective treatment than synthetic hormones.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Estrogen and testosterone protect your heart by supporting blood circulation, red blood cell creation, and lipid profiles. BHRT can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and enhance your heart function.
Maintain Bone and Muscle Mass
Estrogen and testosterone support the building and maintenance of bone density and muscle mass. BHRT can reduce your risk of muscle weakening and osteoporosis (a disease that causes weak and brittle bones).
Enhanced Sexual Health
Estrogen supplements the vaginal tissue with elasticity and lubrication. Testosterone helps men and women maintain their libido and interest in sex.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived hormones that match the chemical structure of the hormones already produced in our bodies. This is considered to work more effectively and safely than synthetic hormones.
Synthetic hormones are hormones that are not chemically identical to those in our bodies, but are designed to mimic their effects. This form of HRT has been used for decades and has gained FDA-approval.
At Horizons OBGYN, we provide both options and discuss the advantages of BHRT and synthetic HRT to help you choose your treatment.
Because hormones regulate your body fat distribution and metabolism, rebalancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can aid in your weight loss efforts. However, they are not the only solution; rather, a useful tool for getting your health back on track. You will still need to eat a clean diet and get plenty of exercise to see significant weight loss results from BHRT.
Results vary from patient-to-patient, but you may start feeling the effects of this treatment within a few weeks after starting.
