Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy For Women
Have you lost your youthful glow and think you may have a hormone imbalance?
Hormones are responsible for the functioning of a woman's body: for well-being, mood, and health.
As women age, female hormone levels may become low or imbalanced. This can lead to adrenal fatigue, menopause, and other hormone deficiencies.
To learn more about your hormone replacement therapy options, contact XBody Health & Wellness today.
Symptoms of Female Imbalanced Hormones
Women experiencing any of the following symptoms may be candidates for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT):
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Irritability
- Fatigue and low stamina
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes and nights sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Lower sex drive
- Depression
- Poor memory and inability to focus
Contact us for a consultation and visit our lab for bloodwork to find out if BHRT is needed. We can help find the type of BHRT that is right for you.
What is BHRT and what are the benefits of BHRT?
BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones that are very close to hormones the body makes. BHRT can help improve many symptoms that arise from low or imbalanced hormone levels. BHRT can help:
- Decrease weight and increase lean muscle mass
- Improve energy levels and stamina
- Decrease hot flashes
- Alleviate night sweats
- Enhance mood
- Eliminate mood swings
- Stop vaginal dryness
- Restore sex drive
- Boost memory and concentration
- Reduce depression
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
One popular type of BHRT is the pellet implant. With this method, small implants are placed under the skin, and hormones are released over a period of time.
What Are The Side Effects of BHRT?
When beginning BHRT, you may experience some side effects. These side effects are mild and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the hormones. Side effects may include acne, breast tenderness, bloating, and menstrual spotting.

Understanding Menopause and Navigating the Transition
What is Menopause?
Menopause marks the phase of life when you stop ovulating and your body reduces the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which are key to menstruation and ovulation. This shift also affects other hormones in your body, including cortisol and thyroid hormones. Most women reach menopause in their early fifties, although timing can vary.
How Can I Tell When Menopause is Approaching?
Menopause is preceded by a transitional phase called perimenopause, which typically begins around a decade before menopause. During perimenopause, hormonal fluctuations occur, leading to symptoms like:
- Irregular periods
- Insomnia
- Vaginal dryness
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Mood swings
- Weight fluctuations
- Skin changes
- Anxiety
The symptoms of perimenopause vary in intensity and can impact daily life. If they’re disruptive, there are ways to manage them effectively with a holistic approach.
How Can I Manage Symptoms as Menopause Approaches?
An integrative approach, combining conventional and alternative treatments, is effective in reducing menopause-related symptoms and maintaining comfort during this transition. A care plan at Xbody Health & wellness might include:
