Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally by the human body. Unlike synthetic versions of hormones, bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones found in humans.
At Butterfly Hormone Center, we specialize in prescribing and custom-formulating bioidentical hormone therapies to treat hormone imbalances and deficiencies. Our experienced medical staff tailor treatments to your unique hormone needs through careful testing, analysis, and monitoring.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief for a variety of symptoms caused by hormone decline and imbalance associated with:
- Low libido, erectile dysfunction - Loss of muscle mass, increased body fat - Depression, irritability - Lack of motivation, mental fogginess
- Exhaustion, tiredness - Difficulty handling stress - Slow recovery after illness/exercise - Cravings for salty and sweet foods
- Unexplained weight gain - Fatigue, low energy - Hair loss, dry skin - Cold sensitivity
Bioidentical HRT can help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and help you feel healthy, energized and youthful again.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
If you're experiencing troublesome menopause, andropause or other hormone-related symptoms, Butterfly Hormone Center can help you find relief. The first step is sensitive and accurate testing to check your individual hormone levels.
We offer state-of-the-art diagnostics utilizing blood, saliva and urine tests to paint a complete picture of your hormonal environment. Some key hormones we test include:
By testing a panel of critical hormones using advanced testing methods, we obtain objective data to determine where imbalances or deficiencies exist.
Next, one of our experienced bioidentical hormone specialists reviews your test results and thoroughly evaluates your symptoms and health history. They use this information to create a customized treatment plan just for you.
This plan outlines the appropriate bioidentical hormones to be used, optimal dosing, the best method of administration (oral, sublingual, topical cream etc) and follow-up testing and monitoring procedures.
We take great care to prescribe bioidentical HRT regimens tailored to your unique physiology for maximum benefits and safety.
There are a variety of ways to deliver bioidentical hormones for hormone replacement:
Capsule and tablet formats containing bioidentical hormones are convenient oral options providing controlled delivery. At Butterfly Hormone Center, our specialized compounding pharmacy prepares custom oral hormone formulations.
Administering bioidentical hormones in drops or tablets held under the tongue allows direct absorption into the bloodstream avoiding first pass liver metabolism. This can have advantages for some hormones like testosterone, melatonin and DHEA.
Specially prepared gels or creams are an effective way to deliver hormones like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone directly through the skin. Creams are rubbed directly onto areas like the wrists, arms or thighs.
Injections administered into subcutaneous fat or muscle tissue can deliver bioidentical testosterone that lasts for 1-2 weeks. Testosterone and estrogen pellets implanted under the hip skin slowly release consistent hormone levels for sustained benefits up to 6 months.
At Butterfly Hormone Center, we offer a complete range of bioidentical hormone delivery methods including pharmacy-compounded capsules, sublinguals, topical creams as well as injections and pellet implants. We match bioidentical hormone treatments with the most appropriate method of administration for your preferences, needs and circumstances.
It's essential to check in after beginning bioidentical HRT to ensure your customized regimen is working safely and effectively. Follow up assessments typically include:
At Butterfly Hormone Center, ongoing follow-ups after initiating bioidentical HRT form a standard part of continued care. Our practitioners closely monitor your response through appointments and testing to ensure your customized bioidentical hormone therapy keeps you feeling your best while staying safe.
We partner with you for the long run taking a proactive approach making appropriate adjustments along the way. Consistent testing and analysis provides insights so your regimen remains ideal as your physiology and needs evolve over the months and years.
Our goal is for bioidentical hormone treatments to deliver transformative, lasting relief from troublesome symptoms - not just a temporary quick fix. We work closely with patients like you to provide bioidentical hormone replacement geared for the long haul.
Hormone balance is essential for sustainably vibrant health. But when deficiencies, decline and imbalances occur, coping with disruptive symptoms like hot flashes, low libido and loss of stamina can be extremely frustrating.
You want solutions that get to the root cause and provide lasting relief.
Synthetic and generic hormones are not the answer. These superficial treatments temporarily mask superficial symptoms. And their modified chemical structures tend to create their own set of health problems.
For true transformative hormone replenishment and rejuvenation, the molecules must match. The experts at Butterfly Hormone Center specialize exclusively in prescribing pure, customized bioidentical hormone therapies.
Tailored specifically for you through specialized testing, analysis and careful monitoring - our bioidentical hormones mimic the optimal functioning of your physiology when levels were at their peak.
