Key Hormones in BHRT

At Salerno Alternative Medicine, we specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to restore balance and optimize your health. Understanding the key hormones involved is essential for achieving optimal results:

• DHEA: Enhances energy levels, boosts immunity, and improves muscle function.
• Estrogen: Vital for reproductive health, bone strength, and overall well-being.
• Progesterone: Balances estrogen, reduces inflammation, and supports mental health.
• Cortisol: Helps manage stress but requires balance to avoid health complications.
• Testosterone: Supports sexual health, muscle tone, and bone density.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Stimulates sex steroid production and ovulation.
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Promotes sperm maturation and ovarian follicle development.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Regulates free testosterone levels, impacting overall hormone balance.
• Pregnenolone: Enhances memory and serves as a precursor to other critical hormones.

At Salerno Alternative Medicine, our BHRT approach is tailored to your unique needs, helping you restore energy, vitality, and balance. Contact us today to learn more about how BHRT can improve your quality of life!
