Feel Like Yourself Again
With Tailored Hormones
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that have the same molecular structure as those produced by your body. These may include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, depending on your specific needs. As your hormone levels change with age or medical conditions, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms that affect your daily life. At Roots Wellness, we evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and relevant laboratory findings to determine whether BHRT is appropriate for you.
Signs You May Benefit From BHRT:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Mood changes and irritability
- Changes in sexual desire
- Menstrual irregularities
- Fatigue or low energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Other symptoms associated with hormone deficiency
How Does BHRT Work?
Your BHRT begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, medications, and health goals to understand what you’re experiencing. When appropriate, we use targeted blood work or hormone assessments, including DUTCH testing, to gather additional data. Not every hormone concern requires extensive testing, and your provider selects assessments based on clinical needs. If BHRT is suitable, we’ll discuss available formulations, potential benefits, risks, and follow-up care before creating your treatment plan.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Options
BHRT Pellets
Hormone pellets are tiny implants placed just beneath your skin, usually around your hip. They gradually release hormones into your bloodstream over several months, providing a steady delivery without the need for daily medication. They’re a convenient, low-maintenance option.
BHRT Creams
BHRT creams deliver hormones through your skin, where they’re absorbed into your bloodstream. You apply them regularly to designated areas of your body. They’re easy to incorporate into your daily routine and offer flexibility in dosing.
BHRT Injections
BHRT injections deliver hormones directly into your muscle or fatty tissue, allowing them to enter your bloodstream. They’re commonly used for testosterone replacement and provide consistent, measurable doses at scheduled intervals.
Oral Hormone Medications
Oral hormone medications come in convenient pills or capsules that you take by mouth. They offer a familiar, needle-free way to receive prescribed hormones, including progesterone for women and oral testosterone options such as Kyzatrex for men. Oral medications can be incorporated into your daily routine.
Advantages of Personalized BHRT:
- Treatment tailored to your symptoms and health history

FAQs
Are Bioidentical Hormones the Same as Natural Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones produced by your body. However, they’re manufactured medications, and being bioidentical doesn’t automatically make them safer. FDA-approved options are available for certain hormones and conditions.
Is BHRT Safe?
For appropriately screened men and women, research shows bioidentical hormone therapy is safe and effective when properly dosed and monitored.
Are Hormone Pellets Better Than Creams or Pills?
Not necessarily! Each option has advantages and limitations. Pellets require an insertion procedure and are harder to adjust, while certain creams, patches, and oral medications offer more dosing flexibility. Your provider helps you compare your choices.
