Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a scientifically-backed and carefully planned treatment that works wonders in restoring hormonal balance and rejuvenating one's life. The process revolves around replenishing the body with biologically identical hormones to replace what's lost through the aging process or other conditions.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a holistic approach to treating hormonal imbalances. Crucial hormones like testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, triiodothyronine, cortisol, and DHEA play a vital role in maintaining our overall health. BHRT comes into play for both men and women experiencing hormonal shifts due to menopause, andropause, aging, or specific health conditions. Bioidentical hormones, sourced from plants, offer a natural alternative with fewer risks compared to their synthetic counterparts. Commonly used in treatments, estrogen and testosterone are replicated to match the body’s natural hormones, helping restore balance and well-being.

As women age, testosterone therapy can be just as advantageous for them as it is for men. BHRT provides a natural way to boost testosterone levels, offering significant health benefits such as reducing the risk of breast cancer, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, and other dementia forms.
Women undergoing perimenopause or menopause often face challenges like disrupted sleep patterns, mood fluctuations, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, reduced muscle tone, and a decreased interest in sexual activity or discomfort during intercourse. By utilizing BHRT with testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, or a combination thereof, women can experience improved sleep quality, increased energy, mood stabilization, enhanced muscle tone, and a revived libido.
Testosterone therapy, as part of BHRT, plays a pivotal role in enhancing men's general health and life quality. Testosterone levels are key in maintaining energy, focus, muscle mass, and libido. Similar to menopause in women, men experience andropause, often noted in middle-aged and older men, characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone. This reduction can lead to symptoms like fatigue, decreased sexual desire, muscle loss, weight gain, sleep disturbances, mood changes, irritability, and depression.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) becomes a more pressing issue with age. Boosting testosterone levels is beneficial in addressing ED symptoms and enhancing libido. Ongoing testosterone therapy can also positively impact cholesterol levels, thereby improving cardiovascular health and blood flow, which are crucial in treating ED. Additionally, it aids in managing certain diabetes-related complications that affect penile rigidity during arousal.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses hormones derived from plants to perfectly mimic natural human hormones. This 'perfect fit' ensures effective symptom relief and optimized body function, making BHRT a safer and more effective choice.
At Prestige Wellness Institute, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We are not an "in-and-out hormone clinic". We understand that each individual’s journey is unique. Not everyone responds the same at the same hormone levels. As Utah's pioneer in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy we have decades of experience mastering the delicate balance of hormones for thousands of individuals.
Initiating your journey with us is easy – simply contact us by phone or email to arrange your consultation. During this session, you'll meet with our medically trained experts to understand your goals and address any questions you might have. We encourage you to share your medical history, as this information is vital in crafting a personalized health plan that aligns with your needs.
For a comprehensive assessment, we require laboratory results from a blood draw, typically done before your consultation. This is essential to determine your suitability for BHRT and to prepare for pellet insertion, if applicable. Additionally, we consider other aspects of your holistic health, like your vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, ensuring a well-rounded approach to your wellbeing.
Recovery for BHRT pellet therapy is very generally short. Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately following the procedure. You may experience tenderness, slight redness, minimal swelling, and bruising at the treatment site that subsides over a few days. Lightly icing the area in 20-minute intervals during the first 24 hours helps minimize bruising and discomfort. Once inserted, your body will absorb the hormones naturally and gradually.
The cost of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement in Utah can vary on a number of factors. The best way to find out how much your BHRT will cost is to schedule a consultation with our expert medical staff. They will be able to assess your needs, create a personal timeline based on those needs, and give you an accurate cost for your therapy.
The process begins with comprehensive testing to understand the patient's current hormonal levels. Depending on the results and the patient's lifestyle, therapies are administered as creams, or slow-release pellets implanted under the skin. The dosage is meticulously calibrated for optimal absorption and minimal side effects. This treatment also involves continuous monitoring and follow-up appointments to ensure its effectiveness.
"Menopause is a natural phase, often beginning in the late 40s to early 50s, marked by the end of menstrual cycles. Symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, and fatigue can significantly impact your daily life. But it doesn't have to be a struggle. Learn how our specialized hormone therapy can bring relief."
The pellets do take some time to be absorbed by your body, so the average patient will typically feel some change in their symptoms after two or three weeks, with the results becoming stronger over time.
