As we age, our body's natural hormone levels can fluctuate and decline, leading to a variety of symptoms and health concerns. BHRT offers a natural and effective solution to restore hormonal balance and improve overall well-being.
What is BHRT?
About bioidentical estrogen
At Balanced Vitality Center, we recognize the essential role of estrogen, particularly estradiol, in maintaining overall health. Estrogen is crucial for reproductive health, bone density, and cardiovascular well-being. It also alleviates common menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
We prioritize the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) due to its natural compatibility with your body, offering a safer and more effective approach to hormone balance. BHRT not only addresses menopausal symptoms but also plays a significant role in preventing long-term health issues such as osteoporosis and heart disease.
We offer personalized estrogen/estradiol treatments through oral tablets, patches, or topical creams, tailoring each regimen to meet your unique needs. Our approach begins with the lowest effective dose, which we adjust gradually to optimize your hormone levels while minimizing side effects. We provide comprehensive coaching to ensure you know how to use these medications safely and effectively, with close monitoring to manage any side effects, ensuring your comfort and long-term success.

At Balanced Vitality Center, we understand the vital role that progesterone plays in the health and well-being of both men and women. This essential hormone helps regulate mood, improve sleep quality, and maintain overall hormonal balance. Progesterone is particularly effective in addressing symptoms of hormone imbalance, including irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
