NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center

Anti-Aging and Longevity Treatments Remember when you were in college and stayed up all night drinking beer, eating pizza, and partying; yet you still were able to attend class in the morning? How many of you could do that now?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized medical treatment that uses hormones structurally identical to those produced by the human body to restore hormonal balance in men and women. At Patients Medical in NYC, BHRT is guided by comprehensive hormone testing and tailored dosing to address symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as fatigue, low libido, weight gain, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and metabolic dysfunction.
This page explains how BHRT works, what symptoms it may improve, the tests involved, and why a personalized, integrative approach produces better, longer-lasting results by treating underlying endocrine dysfunction rather than just symptoms.

Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased libido. At Patients Medical in New York City, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) as part of our integrative approach to restore hormonal harmony. By utilizing hormones identical to those your body naturally produces, we aim to alleviate symptoms and enhance overall well-being.
What is BHRT?
BHRT involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. Derived from plant sources, these hormones are compounded to match individual hormonal needs, offering a personalized treatment approach.
Why Choose BHRT?
Unlike conventional hormone therapies that use synthetic hormones, BHRT offers a more natural alternative. By closely mimicking the body’s own hormones, BHRT can provide more consistent symptom relief with potentially fewer side effects.
Understanding the underlying causes of hormonal imbalance is crucial for effective treatment. Common contributors include:
Optimizing hormone balance improves cycle regularity, ovulation, uterine receptivity, and overall reproductive health for both women and men.
Personalized programs for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal hormone balance.
Hormone metabolism is closely tied to gut health — we integrate GI support to enhance hormone utilization.
Reducing exposures to endocrine disruptors and supporting liver detoxification pathways that process hormones.
Hormone balance supports mood, cognition, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance.
Thyroid hormones play a critical role in overall hormonal balance. We assess thyroid function and provide appropriate interventions to ensure optimal thyroid health, complementing BHRT.
Incorporating regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy lifestyle habits can enhance the benefits of BHRT. Our team offers personalized recommendations to support lasting hormonal health.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those the human body produces to restore healthy endocrine balance.
Traditional HRT may use synthetic or animal-derived hormones. Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to human hormones, improving compatibility and reducing side effects for many patients.
We use personalized combinations of:
• Estrogen
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
• DHEA
• Pregnenolone (as needed)
When prescribed and monitored by qualified physicians, BHRT is generally safe. We tailor doses and test regularly to minimize risk.
Symptoms of imbalance, coupled with lab testing, guide diagnosis. Not everyone with symptoms needs therapy — we confirm imbalance before treatment.
Many patients notice changes within 3–6 weeks, with continued improvements over several months.
Some patients experience mild changes initially (e.g., tenderness). These are usually temporary and resolved with dose adjustment.
BHRT can benefit adults at many ages — from perimenopause to andropause and beyond — as long as imbalance is confirmed through testing.
Balanced hormones generally support metabolism and weight control. Hormonal imbalance, not BHRT, is more often the reason for weight changes.
Coverage varies. Some tests or consultation visits may be covered; therapy is often elective. Our staff assists with verification.
Dosing is based on lab results, symptoms, health history, and personalized goals — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Yes. Testosterone imbalance in men can contribute to fatigue, low libido, depression, and metabolic changes — BHRT can help.
Yes — best results come from combining BHRT with diet, stress management, sleep support, and metabolic optimization.
Follow-up labs are typically done every 8–12 weeks or as needed to optimize dosing.
BHRT can be given as:
• Pellets
• Creams or gels
• Injections
• Oral forms (in select cases)
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
