What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?


Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment that uses hormones derived from plant materials to replicate the ones naturally produced by your body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those found in the human body, enhancing compatibility and effectiveness. BHRT is designed to treat imbalances caused by age, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors. These hormones can be delivered through various forms, including creams, gels, patches, or pellets, to suit individual preferences and needs.


Customized to your unique profile, our BHRT treatments begin with a thorough evaluation involving hormone level testing, a detailed medical history, and a symptom assessment. Doctors use this information to prepare a plan tailored specifically for you. Over time, hormone therapy helps to stabilize mood swings, enhance energy levels, and improve overall health.

For many patients, BHRT is a transformative experience, offering a natural solution to alleviate the discomfort caused by hormones that are out of sync with the body’s needs. This treatment is safe and effective, focusing on boosting quality of life without the risks sometimes associated with synthetic alternatives.

How BHRT Works


The process starts with identifying the root causes of your symptoms. Detailed blood tests and medical assessments provide a clear picture of your hormone profile, and from here, Dr. Salerno formulates a treatment plan just for you. Bioidentical hormones are chosen to mimic what your body is lacking, restoring balance in a way that feels seamless and natural.

These plant-derived hormones are carefully tuned to your unique body chemistry. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, BHRT adapts to your specific needs, reducing symptoms like insomnia, lack of energy, or reduced libido. Once therapy begins, your hormones are delivered into your body through a form that suits your lifestyle, such as a topical cream, patch, or even small subdermal pellets.


We continue to monitor your response to the treatment, adjusting dosages if needed to achieve optimal results. The therapy doesn’t just alleviate external symptoms but works to recalibrate your internal systems, improving physical, emotional, and even cognitive well-being. With Dr. Salerno’s hands-on approach and careful monitoring, BHRT offers a sustainable path to long-term health and vitality.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for women navigating menopause or perimenopause and men dealing with the effects of low testosterone. Patients looking for a natural, safer alternative to traditional hormone treatments should also consider BHRT. Regular monitoring ensures each treatment plan evolves with your needs, offering personalized care that meets y

Possible Side Effects


Like any medical treatment, BHRT may involve side effects. Some patients experience mild symptoms, such as bloating, headaches, or tenderness near the application site. Others may see temporary mood changes as their body adapts to a new hormonal balance. More serious complications are rare and can typically be avoided with regular monitoring and adjustments. Dr. Salerno ensures a proactive approach to managing side effects, offering guidance and support every step of the way.

Case Studies of Patient Transformation with BHRT by Dr. John Salerno


  • Lee’s Journey to Balance - Lee, a 49-year-old woman, began to experience menopause symptoms that severely impacted her daily life. Constant hot flashes disrupted her sleep, and unexplainable mood swings strained her relationships. After trying over-the-counter remedies with little success, Lee sought help from Dr. Salerno. Through BHRT, her hormone levels were carefully monitored and adjusted using plant-derived bioidentical hormones. Within three weeks, Lee noticed a decrease in hot flashes and her mood had stabilized. Now, she has energy for the things she loves, and her sleep has never been better.


  • Michael’s Quest for Vitality - At age 55, Michael felt drained, unable to maintain his usual active lifestyle. Gym sessions became a chore, his productivity dwindled, and he even experienced reduced libido. Hoping for a solution, Michael turned to Dr. Salerno. Testing revealed low testosterone levels that were impacting his overall health. After beginning BHRT, Michael gradually regained his energy, muscle tone, and confidence. Today, Michael describes himself as "better than his old self," running marathons again and thriving in both his professional and personal life.
