FAQ

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment aimed at supplementing or balancing hormones in the body, which may be deficient or imbalanced due to conditions such as menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, or other hormonal imbalances. HRT can help alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, improving quality of life and overall health.

Absolutely. HRT is specifically designed to relieve symptoms of menopause in women, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, as well as symptoms of andropause in men, including decreased libido, fatigue, weight gain, and muscle loss. By restoring hormonal balance, HRT can significantly improve these symptoms and enhance quality of life.

When it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), there is no “one size fits all” or universally “best” delivery method. The effectiveness of HRT is highly dependent on personalizing the treatment to the patient’s exact needs, considering factors such as their specific health conditions, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Our pharmacy takes pride in offering highly customized HRT solutions, guided by our pharmacist who specializes in HRT and is furthering her expertise with a fellowship in anti-aging and functional medicine. We encourage you to set up a consultation or give us a call to discuss your unique situation in depth. Our goal is to explore all available options and work closely with you and your healthcare provider to determine the delivery method that best aligns with your health goals and lifestyle, ensuring the most effective and comfortable HRT experience.

 

Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body, which can lead to fewer side effects and better results for some individuals. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, are made from chemical sources and may have a different structure than natural hormones, which can affect how they work and are metabolized in the body.

At Bear’s, we exclusively use bioidentical hormones for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) formulations. Bioidentical hormones are identical on a molecular level to the hormones naturally produced by your body, offering a more natural approach to hormone replacement. We believe in providing our patients with the highest quality and most effective treatment options, and bioidentical hormones are chosen for their compatibility with the body, aiming to minimize side effects and optimize wellness. Our commitment to using bioidentical hormones supports our goal of delivering personalized, safe, and effective HRT solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
