Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Restoring Balance. Renewing Vitality.
At Evergreen Primary Care & Wellness, we understand how significantly hormones impact how you feel every day. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized treatment designed to restore hormonal balance and help you feel like yourself again.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. Because bioidentical hormones match the molecular structure of endogenous hormones, they bind to hormone receptors in the body in the same way naturally produced hormones do.
These hormones are typically used to address symptoms related to hormonal decline or imbalance, most commonly during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause (age-related testosterone decline in men).
What Hormones Are Typically Replaced?
BHRT commonly involves:
-
Estrogen – Supports bone density, brain function, and vaginal health
-
Progesterone – Balances estrogen and supports sleep and mood
-
Testosterone – Supports energy, libido, muscle mass, and cognitive clarity
-
DHEA – A precursor hormone involved in overall hormonal balance
How Is It Delivered?
Bioidentical hormones may be administered through:
-
Pellets (subcutaneous insertion)
-
Creams or gels
-
Capsules
-
Patches
-
Injections
What to Expect
Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our goal is not to create excessive hormone levels, but to restore balance safely and effectively. When properly monitored, BHRT can support long-term wellness, energy, and confidence.
If you are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, we invite you to schedule a consultation to determine whether bioidentical hormone therapy is right for you.
What Symptoms Can BHRT Address?
Hormonal imbalance may contribute to:
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Mood swings or irritability
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Brain fog
-
Weight gain
-
Low libido
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Vaginal dryness

BHRT aims to restore hormone levels to a more optimal physiological range, helping improve quality of life and overall well-being.
Is BHRT Safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider, BHRT can be a safe and effective option.
Treatment should include:
-
Comprehensive symptom evaluation
-
Baseline and follow-up lab testing
-
Individualized dosing
-
Ongoing monitoring
Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and a full medical evaluation is necessary to determine candidacy.
