Because many women experience significant changes in their health before, during and after menopause, they have traditionally used synthetic estrogens and progestin’s (traditional HRT) to protect against osteoporosis and heart disease and to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia.

If you are considering the use of hormone replacement therapy and you think individualized, natural hormones make more sense than a one-size-fits all application, then you may want to look into naturally compounded BHRT.

Bio-Identical hormones are derived from natural plant sources to produce molecules, which are physiologically identical to hormones produced naturally in the human body. Bio-Identical hormones are chemically processed from precursors found in yams or soy plants, yet they are identical to those produced by the human body.

Hence the term "bio-identical plant-derived hormones." These hormones are able to follow normal metabolic pathways so that essential active metabolites are formed in response to hormone replacement therapy. Synthetic hormones are chemically altered and are not identical in structure or activity to the naturally occurring hormones in the body.

After a full consultation and testing, Dr. Keshwani will determine the right bio-identical hormone replacement therapy treatment for you.

Dr. Keshwani will prescribe the most appropriate strength and dosage for the individual. Women can start and maintain a BHRT regimen that closely mimics what her body has been doing naturally for years.
