While controversy concerning “Hormone Replacement” remains, Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified gynecologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, is an advocate of bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT).

BHRT is compounded from plants and is molecularly identical to human hormones,” Dr Birken said.  “This allows the practitioner to customized estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as metabolic hormones for each individual.”

Patients who are menopausal or peri-menopausal and suffer from symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, low libido, and weight gain will usually see significant improvement. While more expensive than pharmaceutical synthetic hormones, BHRT offers patients a more precise and natural approach to declining hormone function.
