Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Toronto

Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced in both men and women. Because their chemical structure is identical to our own hormones, they bind to and activate receptors in the same way our natural hormones do.
Bioidentical hormones can help address hormonal imbalances and deficiencies in estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones. They can also be used as an alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy, especially when a patient’s lab results are normal, but they continue to experience symptoms of discomfort.

Estradiol, Estriol, Bi-Est (combo):

Applied topically in bioidentical form, these hormones can replace deficient levels and help alleviate menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog.

Progesterone is a key reproductive hormone that plays a vital role in balancing the effects of estrogen. Progesterone protects the endometrial lining, regulates the menstrual cycles, improves sleep, and reduces anxiety.
