Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones can be either prescription medications or supplements derived from natural sources and are identical to the molecular structure of the hormones your body naturally makes, ensuring optimal compatibility and effectiveness.

Benefits of BHRT for Women

As women age, they may experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance due to menopause, perimenopause, or other health conditions. Bioidentical hormones can help alleviate common symptoms such as:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings and irritability
• Weight gain and bloating
• Sleep disturbances
• Decreased libido and sexual dysfunction
• Fatigue and low energy levels

BHRT can help women regain control over their health and improve their quality of life by restoring hormonal balance and alleviating these disruptive symptoms. Hormone replacement has also shown to improve longevity and decrease the risk for dementia.

Benefits of BHRT for Men

Men also experience hormonal changes as they age, often referred to as andropause or “male menopause.” Symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men can include:

• Low energy and fatigue
• Reduced muscle mass and strength
• Increased body fat
• Mood changes and irritability
• Decline in libido and sexual performance
• Cognitive decline and memory issues

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can help men combat these symptoms, leading to improved physical performance, enhanced mood, and increased mental clarity. Testosterone replacement has also been shown to enhance longevity.

What’s Included:

The fee for starting BHRT  with Dr. Mintz is $500. This includes:

• • Initial Evaluation: Dr. Mintz will perform a comprehensive history and brief physical examination.
  • Hormone and Related Testing: Dr. Mintz will perform routine blood tests to not only test your hormone levels, but also investigate other health factors related to hormone health.  These blood tests should be covered by your insurance.  Dr. Mintz also usually recommends testing hormone levels through salivary testing. (This is optional and the fee is extra-around $200-and usually not covered by insurance).
  • Review and Recommendations: Once your lab results are back, Dr. Mintz will create a customized treatment recommendation program for you and discuss this with you in-person or online at a follow up visit (included in the initial fee).  Note that some hormone treatments that Dr. Mintz may recommend are prescriptions that may be covered by insurance, and some are supplements, which are usually not covered by insurance.  Dr. Mintz has professional accounts with several companies that offer hormone replacement therapy and can offer patients substantial discounts of the retail prices of these products.
  • Access and Prescriptions: The initial fee also covers one year of email and phone access to answer questions related to your treatment plan. (Additional appointments -in person or telemedicine are available for an additional fee.) The fee also includes 1-year of hormone prescriptions.

Additional appointments to repeat testing and/or to adjust BHRT therapy (either online or in-person) are available for a fee of $250 per 30 minute appointment.

Dr. Mintz does not accept any insurance, and is considered “out of network,” but can generate an invoice for you to submit to insurance for reimbursement
