Bioidentical Hormone Replacement in Denver

BHRT

Not All Hormone Therapy Is the Same

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body already produces, which is a meaningful distinction from synthetic alternatives that only approximate their function.

At Denver Wellness & Aesthetics Center (DWAC), bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) is led by Dr. Michael Young, and dosed specifically for your body rather than delivered as a one-size-fits-all medication.

The Science

What Makes a Hormone "Bioidentical"

Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived and processed to be molecularly identical to the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone your body produces naturally. Because your body recognizes them as its own, many patients find bioidentical hormones better tolerated than synthetic versions that don’t share the same molecular structure.

A Clear Difference

How BHRT Differs From Standard Hormone Replacement

Standard Hormone Replacement

Standard hormone replacement programs often use synthetic, fixed-dose medications applied broadly across patients.

BHRT at DWAC

BHRT at DWAC starts with your specific labs and symptoms, then uses compounded, bioidentical hormones dosed to your individual needs, adjusted over time as your body and your labs change.
