What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone therapy is a kind of hormone replacement therapy that is natural (HRT). Dr. Zilberstein utilizes hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to cure symptoms of menopause and perimenopause.
Taking small doses of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone may help you feel better, keep your intellectual ability, and keep up with your hectic schedule. Bioidentical hormones are hormones that have the same chemical structure as the hormone released by our bodies. Even though it is referred to as “natural” hormone replacement, it is worth remembering that the only “natural hormones” are those produced by our bodies.
