Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Restore Balance. Renew Vitality. Build Resilience.
Our Approach
A Personalized Approach to Hormone Optimization
Hormonal changes can affect nearly every aspect of how you feel—from energy, sleep, mood, and mental clarity to metabolism, muscle mass, sexual health, and overall quality of life.
At Resilience Functional Medicine, we take a comprehensive approach to hormone health. Rather than treating a laboratory number alone, we evaluate your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, metabolic health, and laboratory findings to better understand the factors contributing to hormonal imbalance.
When appropriate, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan for both women and men.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones naturally produced by the human body. Depending on the individual, hormone therapy may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a combination of therapies.
The goal is not simply to increase hormone levels. Our approach is to identify deficiencies or imbalances, carefully determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate, and use the lowest effective individualized treatment while monitoring symptoms and laboratory markers over time.
Our Functional Medicine Approach to Hormone Health
Hormones do not function independently.
Sleep, stress, nutrition, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, gut health, inflammation, exercise, body composition, medications, and nutrient status can all influence how you feel and how your body responds to hormone therapy.
For this reason, our hormone optimization programs extend beyond simply prescribing hormones.
Your evaluation includes:
Comprehensive hormone testing
Thyroid evaluation
Metabolic and insulin-resistance markers
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Nutrient evaluation
Review of sleep, stress, exercise, and nutrition
Individualized supplementation when appropriate
Ongoing symptom and laboratory monitoring
Our goal is to understand the whole clinical picture and create a treatment plan that supports both symptom improvement and long-term health.
Symptoms We Evaluate
Hormonal imbalance may contribute to symptoms such as:
Fatigue or decreased energy
Hot flashes and night sweats
Difficulty sleeping
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Mood changes or irritability
Decreased libido
Changes in sexual function
Loss of muscle mass or strength
Increased body fat or difficulty maintaining body composition
Changes in menstrual cycles
Vaginal or genitourinary symptoms
Reduced motivation or sense of well-being
Because many of these symptoms can also be caused by thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, sleep disorders, or other medical conditions, we believe comprehensive evaluation is an important part of responsible hormone therapy.
Hormone Therapy Options
Hormone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on your individual needs, preferences, medical history, and laboratory findings, treatment may include:-
Hormones delivered topically through creams, gels, or patches.
-
Certain hormones, such as progesterone, may be prescribed orally when appropriate.
-
Testosterone may be considered intramuscular or subcutaneously for appropriately selected women or men using an individualized delivery method and monitoring plan.
-
For patients who prefer a longer-acting option and are appropriate candidates. Resilience Functional Medicine is trained in the EvexiPEL Method, an approach to bioidentical hormone pellet therapy using individualized dosing and a specialized pellet insertion technique.
Is BHRT Right for You?
Hormone therapy requires individualized medical evaluation. Personal and family history, cardiovascular and metabolic health, cancer risk factors, medications, symptoms, laboratory findings, and personal treatment goals all influence whether hormone therapy is appropriate.
Every patient considering BHRT at Resilience Functional Medicine receives an individualized assessment before treatment is prescribed.
Start With a Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation
If you are experiencing symptoms of hormonal change or simply don’t feel like yourself, the first step is understanding why.
Schedule an initial consultation with Resilience Functional Medicine to discuss your symptoms, review appropriate laboratory testing, and determine whether hormone optimization—including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or EvexiPEL pellet therapy—may be appropriate for you.
