Bio-identical
Hormone Replacement
Using Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is the cornerstone of Anti-Aging Medicine and is a treatment option for both men and women. Bio-Identical Hormones are manufactured to have the exact molecular structure as the hormones that are made by your own body. Hormones fluctuate during our lifetime, but declining levels occur as we age. When you begin to experience symptoms such as: weight gain, mood swings, lack of energy, sleep disturbances, hot flashes or lack of libido, these can be due to a lack or imbalance of your hormones. Restoring hormonal balance will promote optimal aging and help you enjoy your life.
Dr. Bruner offers the following BHRT options:
-
Topical creams and gels
-
Oral tablets and capsule
-
Transdermal patches
-
Injections
-
Intradermal pellet insertion

Dr. Bruner’s BHRT Protocol
During your initial consultation, Dr. Bruner and her team will begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history and symptoms. Dr. Bruner can then determine what laboratory tests are appropriate. For your convenience, many of these tests can be performed here in our office at the time of your visit.
At your next visit, Dr. Bruner will review your test results, and discuss possible treatment options with bio-identical hormones which may include estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA and/or pregnenolone. These recommendations are specifically tailored to your individual need. Each patient is monitored carefully through regular follow up visits and blood testing to ensure optimal symptom relief at the most appropriate dose.

For Women
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement
​
Hormonal imbalances in women can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms. These imbalances can occur when a woman approaches menopause, or in menopause which occurs around her 50th year, or even years before. Three main hormones are responsible for these imbalances: estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. There is no reason for women to suffer through these unpleasant symptoms. BHRT helps to restore that “joie de vivre,” greatly improving the overall health and quality of life.
