Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Mount Kisco, NY
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps men and women restore hormone balance and feel like themselves again. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones uses careful testing and personalized treatment to relieve symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, low energy, mood changes, and stubborn weight gain.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produces. It treats men and women experiencing imbalances or declines in hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Because hormones control most of your essential bodily functions, even small disruptions can create a cascade of symptoms throughout your body.
Symptoms BHRT Can Help Relieve
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood changes and irritability
- Memory lapses and brain fog
- Weight gain and slowed metabolism
- Trouble sleeping
- Low libido
- Fatigue and loss of muscle strength
Beyond symptom relief, many patients find BHRT improves vitality, energy, mental clarity, mood, and muscle strength, and it can make weight loss easier.
Who Can Benefit From BHRT?
Women going through perimenopause or menopause often benefit from estrogen and progesterone support. Men with low testosterone may regain energy, drive, and muscle. Hormone imbalance can also play a role in PCOS, thinning hair, and insulin resistance.
Hormones and Weight Loss
Hormone imbalance is one of the most common reasons people cannot lose weight despite eating well and exercising. Low estrogen shifts fat to the belly, low testosterone reduces muscle, and poor sleep increases hunger. Pairing BHRT with a medical weight loss plan helps address these root causes.
Your Personalized BHRT Plan
BHRT comes in several different forms. Dr. Maria Briones carefully considers your symptoms, medical conditions, and history, along with comprehensive lab testing, before recommending a specific treatment. Follow-up labs and visits ensure your hormones stay balanced and your treatment remains safe. As part of our internal medicine practice, we monitor your overall health throughout treatment.
Many patients complement hormone therapy with IV therapy for energy or aesthetic treatments like Ultherapy® and PRP facials. View all services.
