Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones your body makes, such as estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. BHRT uses them to relieve symptoms of menopause, perimenopause and low testosterone. BHRT Delivered provides testing and treatment to Florida adults online and in person at our Palm Beach County clinic.
A hormone is bioidentical when its molecule matches the human hormone exactly. Most are made in a laboratory from plant sources such as yams or soy. Some older hormone therapies used hormones that are similar to human hormones but not identical, such as conjugated estrogens or synthetic progestins.
“Bioidentical” describes the molecule. It does not mean a product is natural, custom-made or free of risk.
Testosterone cypionate injections, a bioidentical form of testosterone.
Bioidentical hormone pellets, placed under the skin at our clinic and releasing hormone steadily for several months. Our pellets are compounded by FarmaKeio and EVEXIAS. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
Your provider will explain which option fits you and why.
Bioidentical hormones are assumed to carry the same risks as other hormone therapy until studies show otherwise.
Estrogen can raise the risk of blood clots and stroke, more so with tablets than with patches or gels.
Women who still have a uterus need progesterone alongside estrogen to protect the uterine lining.
Long-term combined estrogen and progestogen therapy is linked to a small increase in breast cancer risk.
Testosterone risks for men are covered on the TRT page.
Hormone therapy is usually not advised after breast cancer, a blood clot, a stroke or heart attack, or with unexplained vaginal bleeding or active liver disease.
We use blood tests, together with your symptoms, to guide treatment. We do not use saliva testing to set doses, because it has not been shown to be reliable for that purpose.

We do not accept insurance for memberships. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and financing is available.
There is no good evidence that bioidentical hormones are safer or work better than other hormone therapy. They carry similar risks, which is why we monitor with regular blood tests.
They are made in a lab from plant compounds and processed to match human hormones.
Hot flashes and sleep often improve within a few weeks. Other changes can take two to three months.
No. We treat adults who live in Florida.
