Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a proven, safe and natural medical therapy that slows the biological effects of aging.
In order to look and feel your best, your body needs to have the right balance of nutrients and hormones. Hormones are vital to good health and play an essential role in our bodies. Hormones help to regulate our growth, reproduction, development, and behavior.
As we age, and by the time most of us reach our 40s, our hormones naturally decline. This decline in hormones can accelerate because of factors like disease, improper nutrition, menopause, or stress. Loss of hormones is one of the major reasons for our deterioration as we get older, both physically and mentally.
By balancing and optimizing your hormones through bioidentical hormone therapy, you can restore your body’s natural ability to keep you feeling healthy and strong.
Hormones are beneficial at any age, but the best long-term protective benefits are achieved if hormones are replaced when you begin to lose them, usually in your 40s.
Dr. Lara is certified in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. He has over 25 years of experience helping patients with hormonal and other age-related deficiencies. The proper balance of hormones can not only make you feel and look younger, but actually improve your ability to lose weight and stay healthy.

What Are Hormones?
Hormones are unique chemical messengers created by your endocrine glands. These vital messengers help regulate almost every biological process of the human body. They control things like hunger and mood as well as metabolism and reproduction.
As we age, our hormones naturally decline.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy replenishes these hormones, slowing and sometimes reversing the effects of aging.
BHRT replenishes hormones such as:
- Testosterone
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- DHEA
- Thyroid Hormone
- Melatonin
- PSA
- Vitamin D
Synthetic Hormones vs.
Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormone therapy is the natural solution
Synthetic Hormones
Often patented by pharmaceutical companies, synthetic hormones are chemically-altered and are not identical to human hormones. While synthetic hormones are designed to elicit the same responses in your body as your natural hormones, they have been proven to adversely stimulate the cells and lead to conditions such as cancer and heart problems.
When first developed, synthetic hormones were well received because they provided some of the benefits of hormone replacement: controlling the symptoms of menopause and fighting osteoporosis and heart disease. However, the long-term results have shown that synthetic hormones sometimes elicit a negative metabolic response. For example, some women can’t tolerate synthetic hormones and will suffer from side effects such as bloating, bleeding, or mood swings. In some patients, synthetic estrogens and progestins have contributed to the development of breast and uterine cancer.
Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, are naturally produced by plant based materials and have exactly the same structure and the same chemical composition as our own hormones. Hormones that are identical to human hormones are found in yams and soy. We call these “natural” because they are natural to the body. The hormones are extracted from these vegetables and then processed by a specialty compounding pharmacy into a prescription dose and form. The body accepts these hormones in our system and produce normal physiological responses upon stimulation. Bioidentical hormones are completely safe and backed by evidence-based medicine.
How are bioidentical hormones administered?
Bioidentical hormones can be administered via a topical cream, orally, by injection, as a suppository, or by implanting a pellet under the skin. Every method has its own advantages and disadvantages and differs for every patient. Schedule your consultation with a certified hormone replacement therapy expert to learn more about the best method for you.
