Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Restore Hormonal Balance. Improve Energy. Feel Like Yourself Again.
Hormones influence nearly every aspect of your health, including energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, brain function, muscle mass, sexual health, and overall well-being. As we age, hormone production naturally declines, and many men and women begin to experience symptoms that can significantly affect their quality of life.
At Integrative Health Solutions, Dr. Bronner Handwerger provides personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) using a precision medicine approach. Every treatment plan is based on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and comprehensive laboratory testing to help restore balance safely and effectively.
Our goal is not simply to normalize laboratory values—it's to help you feel healthier, more energetic, and perform at your best.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have the same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the human body. When appropriately prescribed and monitored, they can help relieve symptoms associated with hormonal decline while supporting overall health and quality of life.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include:
- Estradiol
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Pregnenolone
- Thyroid hormone optimization
Every treatment plan is customized because hormone needs vary from person to person.

During therapy we monitor:
- Hormone levels
- Blood counts
- Cardiovascular risk factors

- Symptom improvement
- Potential side effects
Careful monitoring helps ensure that treatment remains safe, effective, and individualized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are bioidentical hormones the same as traditional hormone therapy?
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the body. Your physician will discuss the available treatment options and help determine which approach is most appropriate for you.
How long does it take to feel better?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within several weeks, although the timeline varies depending on the individual and the hormones being treated.
Will I need laboratory testing?
Yes. Laboratory testing before and during treatment helps us personalize therapy, monitor your response, and make dose adjustments when needed.
Is hormone therapy safe?
Every patient's medical history is different. We carefully evaluate potential benefits and risks before recommending treatment and continue monitoring throughout therapy.
Can hormone therapy improve weight loss?
Correcting hormone deficiencies may improve energy, body composition, and metabolic health, but hormone therapy should not be viewed as a stand-alone weight-loss treatment.
