At 1st Choice Wellness Center, we understand that hormonal balance plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being. Our commitment to personalised care and empowering patients to take charge of their health drives us to offer cutting-edge treatments, including Bio Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
In this comprehensive article, we delve into the science behind BHRT, its benefits, and how it can transform lives.
WHAT IS BHRT ?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural form of hormone therapy that utilises lab-produced hormones derived from plants. These hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which may have adverse effects, bioidentical hormones are more easily absorbed and efficiently utilised by the body.

Benefits of BHRT
Treatment Approach
At 1st Choice Wellness Center, we use the unique BioTE® pellet delivery system for BHRT. These pellets release hormones consistently over several months, ensuring sustained relief from symptoms. Patients typically notice improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results achieved over time.
Customized Care : Dr. Maryam Emami tailor BHRT to each patient’s needs. She closely monitors progress, adjusting dosages as necessary. Women usually receive new pellets every 3–4 months, while men can go 4–5 months between doses.
