Hormones are specialized chemicals produced by glands in your body, acting as messengers to regulate various bodily functions. They play a crucial role in controlling numerous tasks such as mental and sexual function, growth, and nutrient processing. When hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to health issues. Traditionally, doctors prescribe medications to manage symptoms, often for life. However, with advancements in understanding health at a molecular level, treatments can now target the root cause of symptoms. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and functional medicine focus on addressing the underlying issues rather than just symptoms. BHRT involves personalized hormone doses from compounding pharmacies, providing tailored treatment with adjustable components for better tolerance compared to standard synthetic hormones
