Why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) are hormones that are chemically identical to the body's own hormones. 

• This can lead to better tolerance and fewer side effects (bloating, headaches, mood swings) which are typically experienced with use of synthetic hormones. 

• BHRT can be customized to match your individual hormone level, unlike standardized synthetic hormones.

• BHRT offers a more natural path to overall wellness because hormones effect EVERYTHING!

What type of hormone delivery do you provide? 

• At JLU Renew, we provide Biote hormone pellets along with other forms of bioidentical hormones. Hormone pellets provide consistent delivery of hormones directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver and digestive system, leading to fewer fluctuations and better symptom control. Insertions are needed only every few months (eg. 3-6 months). 

Who should consider BHRT?

• Women who are experiencing perimenopausal symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, irregular cycles, decreased libido, insomnia, anxiety, depression, skin/hair issues). This can be 20 years + before a woman reaches menopause so don't wait until your menstrual cycle stops. Newer studies have shown that when women start earlier with BHRT, they are more likely to prevent heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain, dementia and Alzheimer's.

• Men who struggle with thinning hair, low sex drive, reduced muscle mass, and low energy could be considered for hormone therapy because often, these symptoms are caused by an imbalance in hormones.
