At Radiance Natural Medicine, we offer comprehensive hormone evaluation and treatment using specialty lab testing, detailed history and symptom evaluation, and an individualized treatment approach for men and women.

What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bio-identical hormones are compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which do not exactly match the body’s natural hormones, bio-identical hormones are designed to mimic the body’s own hormones, which results in improvement in symptoms and an improved sense of well being. This makes them a more desirable option for hormone replacement therapy.
The most common bio-identical hormones to restore and optimize are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for both men and women. BHRT will often alleviate a variety of symptoms associated with hormone imbalance including fatigue, brain fog, difficulty with focus or concentration, insomnia, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, decreased ability to orgasm, and muscle and joint pains.
Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation and Specialty Lab Testing
At Radiance Natural Medicine, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to hormone health. Dr. Kelly, Dr. Keddie, and Dr. Pendell take the time to listen to your concerns, review your history, and evaluate the lab testing to determine the best treatment plan for you. We utilize a combination of standard medical treatments and naturopathic guided treatments to give you the best of both worlds.
Individualized BHRT Treatment Plans for Men and Women
We utilize trusted compounding pharmacies to design your individual treatment plan for bio-identical hormone replacement. For men, this typically involves testosterone injectables or testosterone pellets, a medication to control estrogen levels, and a medication to maintain intra testicular testosterone production while on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). For women, BHRT will vary from injectables, creams, troches (little lozenges that melt in the mouth), and pellets. We find what works best for you, your lifestyle, and how to achieve your goals. Some patients prefer to take things slow and steady, and others are so sick of being sick and tired, that they are ready to an aggressive approach to their hormones and health.
If you think that you may be suffering from hormone deficiencies or imbalance, then the only way to truly know what is happening is to get lab work done and find out! Many primary care providers will refuse to test for hormone levels. It’s not their fault, most conventional doctors are not trained in the art of hormone evaluation and hormone replacement therapy. They are trained to treat disease and pathology. With hormone replacement therapy, we are working in the functional realm of medicine. You are not broken and you don’t need to be fixed, but we sure as hell can help you live the way you want with more energy, better sleep, mental clarity, even moods, good libido, increased muscle tone, and improved metabolism.
If you are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance, perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy may be the key to restoring your health and vitality. At our naturopathic clinics, we are here to help you every step of the way, offering personalized, compassionate care tailored to your unique needs.
