Hormone and replacement and therapy are words people throw around a lot. As an uncommon practice, people, doctors, and the internet can have varying views on it \u2013 especially bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of information floating around about BHRT<\/strong>, and it can be very difficult to tell what\u2019s true and what\u2019s not, or what\u2019s somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n

Luckily, we\u2019re here! In this post, we\u2019ll discuss six common myths you may have heard about BHRT, and where the real truth lies.<\/p>\n

1. BHRT Won\u2019t Help You Lose Weight<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re simply looking for a weight loss program, BHRT probably isn\u2019t for you. But if weight gain is one of the multiple symptoms you may have as a result of a hormone imbalance \u2013 BHRT can quite likely help you lose weight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Weight gain is a pretty common side effect of hormone imbalances. Implanting pellets to balance your hormones can counteract that weight gain and help you get your body back<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

2. BHRT Only Works for Women<\/h2>\n

You may have heard more about BHRT as it pertains to women \u2013 especially in treating menopausal symptoms \u2013 but BHRT can be just as effective on men.<\/p>\n

Men tend to experience hormonal imbalances as they age<\/strong>, resulting in symptoms ranging from a loss of libido to weight gain.<\/p>\n

Our superior hormone pellet therapy can treat these symptoms<\/span>. Regardless of our gender, we all have hormones \u2013 BHRT doesn\u2019t discriminate based on sex<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

3. BHRT Can Cause Cancer<\/h2>\n

Sadly, this is a fairly common myth about BHRT. The study that suggested BHRT increases cancer risk is not at all current and researchers have disproved it countless times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The study mainly focused on hormone replacement therapy done with synthetic hormones, which is not applicable when it comes to the all-natural pellets we use in BHRT.<\/p>\n

4. BHRT Causes Blood Clots<\/h2>\n

The evidence for BHRT leading to blood clots comes from the same disproven survey that said BHRT could cause cancer.<\/p>\n

The latest study on this subject said that BHRT comes with a less than .5% risk of getting blood clots. In reality, genetics and lifestyle choices predispose you more than anything to blood clots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5. BHRT is Illegal<\/h2>\n

We shouldn\u2019t even have to clarify that this one is false. What we practice is 100% legal<\/strong>. That\u2019s all there is to it.<\/p>\n

6. BHRT Can Delay Menopause<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, we can\u2019t do this for you. BHRT manages symptoms brought on or exacerbated by menopause<\/strong>, but it won\u2019t stop or delay the natural processes your body goes through.<\/p>\n

But we can make menopause a more pleasant experience<\/strong> by correcting your imbalance of hormones, so that\u2019s something!<\/p>\n

We Can Help<\/h2>\n

Obviously, these six myths don\u2019t address every possible question or nuance of BHRT \u2013 and even if they did, all our bodies work differently<\/strong>, so you\u2019d probably need more information anyway!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure of something about BHRT or are getting mixed messages, the best advice we can give you is just to ask us \u2013 we love talking with patients<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
