Hormone deficiency can cause undesirable signs and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. As we age or due to medical conditions, our bodies may not produce adequate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, and DHEA. This often manifests in issues like:
Timely diagnosis and treatment of hormone imbalance is crucial to halt progression of symptoms before they become debilitating. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormone levels, leading to transformative improvements in energy, sleep, sexual health, cognitive function, weight management and emotional wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made in a lab, but have a chemical structure identical to hormones naturally produced by the human body. This allows them to bind to receptors and mimic the function of our innate hormones flawlessly.
Bioidentical hormones used for replacement therapy include:
Since bioidentical hormones are biologically identical, they are physiologically optimal and well-tolerated compared to synthetic hormone versions. BHRT can restore balance gently, while avoiding common side effects of synthetic hormones like bloating, fatigue, mood swings and risk of breast cancer or heart disease.
Personalized BHRT treatment protocols are tailored to individual deficiencies and physiology for customized, precision care. An extensive symptom and health assessment is conducted along with diagnostic blood tests of key hormones to shape the BHRT regimen - including type(s) of bioidentical hormone(s), combination, dose, route of administration and duration.
Butterfly Hormone Center specializes in transformational BHRT aimed at alleviating symptoms to dramatically improve wellness on many fronts including:

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those made by the human body. However, their long-term safety is still unclear since they are different from the hormones naturally made over a lifetime. More research is needed on the risks and benefits of sustained use.
Whilst bioidentical hormone therapy provides enormous benefits, adopting additional positive lifestyle strategies maximizes and sustains improvements long-term:
Emphasizing whole foods - vegetables, fiber-rich fruits, plant proteins (nuts/seeds/legumes), lean animal proteins (eggs, fish, poultry), and healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, ghee). Limiting processed foods, sugar, alcohol and toxins. Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory supplementation is often beneficial too.
Chronic stress raises cortisol which inhibits thyroid function and metabolism. Relaxation practices like breathwork, meditation, yoga, massage therapy, spending time in nature, and doing enjoyable activities lowers cortisol forbetter hormonal balance.
Good sleep allows optimal hormone production so aim for 7-9 hours per night by sticking to consistent bedtimes/waking times, limiting blue light exposure at night, and consider melatonin supplementation if needed.
Staying active with a mix of cardiovascular, strength training and flexibility exercises supports energy, fitness and emotional health. Outdoor activities tap into Vitamin D absorption which aids hormonal processes. Utah’s spectacular parks and trails provide plenty of options!
