Bioidentical Hormone Therapy with Dr. Jennifer Cox ND
|
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment used to help restore balance when your body’s hormone levels decline or become disrupted.
Hormones play an important role in regulating mood, energy, brain function, metabolism, sleep, and reproductive health. Hormone imbalances can significantly affect how you feel day to day. |

What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced in your body, such as estrogen and progesterone. They are typically derived from plant sources and then processed in a laboratory to match human hormones at a molecular level.

Only Estrogens and Progesterone may be prescribed by Dr. Jennifer Cox, ND. Conditions that benefit from these hormone treatments include:
- Perimenopause and menopause

While some individuals may experience improvements in symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep, mood, and energy when hormone levels are optimized, it’s important to understand that:
