An Introduction to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Take back your life with natural hormones!

It’s not magic. At Alchemy Wellness, Dr. Saima Jehangir applies her considerable knowledge of the latest science in women’s health and wellness to finally achieve real symptom relief and the resolution of underlying conditions responsible for those symptoms. Our range of wellness-oriented services in Austin, Texas, also supports not only longer lives but also well-lived lives. 

BHRT for quality of life

Dr. Jehangir has forged an illustrious career path in women’s wellness as an accomplished obstetrician and gynecologist with a passion for and expertise in public health. Fittingly, she offers Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy as a “natural” alternative to “traditional” synthetic HRT.

Candidates

Dr. Jehangir often prescribes BHRT for menopausal women. It may be appropriate to relieve or eliminate symptoms that negatively impact you. These symptoms include unexplained and persistent fatigue, sleeplessness, mood swings, chronic pain, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and other changes to your intimate health. It isn’t “just” for women, though. Men can also benefit from BHRT. Dr. Jehangir will want to discuss your concerns with you and conduct a medical review to determine the best “next steps.”

The difference 

Many advantages flow from the unique nature of the “bioidentical” hormones introduced to your body during treatment. These hormones are specially formulated to “mimic” the natural hormones in the body. With age, your body may produce less of these hormones than it once did. Since these hormones are identical in chemical composition to the patient’s, they are easier for the body to process properly. In turn, the risks long associated with HRT are minimized; for instance, we can avoid building up those chemicals “non-identical.”

The process 

Dr. Jehangir’s method of choice is highly innovative when introducing BHRT. She uses special pellets about the size of a grain of rice, which contain estrogen and testosterone. Again, as bioidentical hormones, they have been matched to the hormones of each patient – for truly personalized medicine. These pellets are inserted under the skin, typically in the topmost portion of the buttock. Insertion takes less than 10 minutes. So, the procedure fits very well and easily into your busy schedule and active lifestyle. As the pellet is naturally and safely dissolved, the hormones are metabolized – just like the natural ones produced by your body! As the hormones are metabolized, hormones are “balanced.” You will gradually notice and feel improvements in the frequency and severity of symptoms that can easily overrun your life.
