Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Portland, OR

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces. Because they match your own hormones at a molecular level, they interact with the body’s receptors in a way that closely mimics natural hormone function.

BHRT can address imbalances in a range of hormones, including:

• Estrogen
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
• DHEA
• Thyroid hormones
• Cortisol

Treatment is always individualized. Your provider will work with you to identify which hormones are imbalanced and determine the right approach based on your lab results, symptoms, and health history.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

BHRT may be a good fit if you are experiencing symptoms related to hormonal changes, whether from menopause, perimenopause, andropause, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal imbalance, or general age-related hormone decline. Common signs that hormone optimization may help include:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Mood changes, anxiety, or depression

• Low libido or sexual dysfunction

• Unexplained weight gain

• Sleep disturbances

• Hot flashes or night sweats

• Decreased muscle mass or strength

Both men and women can benefit from bioidentical hormone therapy. A thorough evaluation at FoRM Health will determine whether BHRT is right for you.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and advanced hormone panel testing. Your provider reviews the results in the context of your overall health, including lifestyle, stress levels, nutrition, and other functional medicine factors.

From there, your provider develops a personalized treatment plan. Bioidentical hormones can be delivered in several ways, and your provider will recommend the method that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Follow-up lab work and check-ins ensure your levels are optimized over time and that the plan continues to support how you feel.

BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a dynamic, ongoing process of refinement. As part of FoRM Health’s broader functional medicine approach, hormone therapy is often integrated with other strategies to support energy, metabolism, sleep, and overall vitality.
