Embracing a Natural Approach to Hormonal Balance

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.
