Natural (Bioidentical) Hormone Replacement Therapy

NatureMed Clinic Denver/Boulder

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural way to replace diminishing hormone levels that occur as we age. It is used to help treat symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, premature aging, osteoporosis and post-menopause. NatureMed is an integrative medicine clinic that serves the Denver/Boulder area. We have medical doctors as well as naturopathic doctors on staff.

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by our bodies. They are extracted from Wild Yam in the laboratory. Synthetic hormones are synthesized in a laboratory and do not have an identical structure to the hormones our bodies make.

As bioidentical hormones mimic the hormones that our body produces naturally, the side-effects often associated with synthetic hormones are drastically reduced if not eliminated completely. The doses of bioidentical hormones are also individualized based on deficiencies found via testing, whereas synthetic hormones tend to be a "one size fits all" dose.

We utilize laboratory testing as well as detailed health history to assess what hormones to recommend. Tailoring hormones to a womans needs is an art, and it can take up to a few months to find exactly the right dosage/combination. We typically utilize blood testing, but also have access to urine testing and salivary testing. We partner with compounding pharmacies that we trust and know use the best quality substrates and delivery methods to provide men and women with optimal results.
