What Hormones Can We Balance with BHRT?
Hormones regulate nearly every system in your body—from your mood and metabolism to your sleep and libido. When they fall out of balance, the effects can be far-reaching. BHRT can help rebalance several key hormones:
Estrogen
Estrogen supports menstrual cycle regulation, bone density, skin elasticity, and mood stability. Low levels can lead to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. BHRT helps relieve these symptoms while supporting cardiovascular and bone health.
Progesterone
Progesterone balances estrogen and supports relaxation, sleep, and fertility. Deficiency can lead to anxiety, insomnia, irregular cycles, and PMS. Restoring healthy levels can improve mood stability and sleep quality.
Testosterone
Testosterone is essential for both men and women, supporting muscle tone, energy, confidence, and libido. Low testosterone can cause fatigue, depression, weight gain, and loss of motivation. BHRT helps restore energy, focus, and drive.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
DHEA is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone. Low levels can contribute to low energy, weakened immunity, and slower recovery. Balancing DHEA can enhance vitality and resilience.
Thyroid Hormones (T3 and T4)
Though not always included in BHRT, optimizing thyroid hormones is vital. Imbalances can cause fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, or difficulty concentrating. At Bionuu, our comprehensive functional medicine testing detects thyroid issues and uses BHRT to treat them alongside other conditions.
Cortisal
This stress hormone affects energy, mood, and immune function. Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue, causing low cortisol levels and burnout. Addressing cortisol balance helps restore your body’s stress response.
