BHRT vs. Traditional HRT: What’s the Difference?
IIf you’ve been struggling with symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, or low libido, your search for answers may have led you to hormone therapy. But what’s the difference between traditional HRT and BHRT — and which one is right for you?
At RYZE Med Spa in Tampa, we believe in educating and empowering you to make the best choice for your body. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones to supplement low levels of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. These are often prescribed during menopause or andropause to reduce symptoms.
However, because these hormones are not identical to your body’s own, they can sometimes cause unwanted side effects — and not everyone responds the same way.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. They’re often derived from plant sources, like yams or soy, and can be compounded specifically for you.
The result? A more natural, personalized approach to hormone balance — and typically fewer side effects.
Key Differences Between HRT and BHRT
Why More Patients Are Choosing BHRT in Tampa
We’ve seen more and more women and men in Tampa switch from traditional HRT to bioidentical therapy for a few powerful reasons:
- It’s tailored to your unique hormone levels
- It mimics your body’s own natural hormones
- It’s monitored closely for effectiveness and safety
- It’s ideal for people who didn’t respond well to synthetic HRT
- It addresses not just symptoms — but the root cause
Who Is BHRT For?
BHRT may be a good fit if you’re experiencing:
- Perimenopause or menopause symptoms (hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain)
- Andropause or low testosterone in men
- Brain fog, low libido, or sleep issues
- Unexplained weight gain or fatigue
- Thyroid or adrenal dysfunction
