Bio-Identical Hormone Replace Therapy for women
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for Women
Empowering Women Through Personalized, Non-Synthetic Hormone Therapy
At Ford Wellness Center, we believe that chronological age does not define a woman’s overall health or potential. Under the care of Dr. Ford, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a cornerstone of our modern, evidence-based approach to anti-aging and regenerative medicine.
What Is BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the use of plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones—primarily estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—are designed to mimic the body’s natural hormone structure, promoting optimal absorption and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Unlike synthetic hormone therapies, which often use chemically modified or animal-derived compounds, Dr. Ford exclusively prescribes non-synthetic hormones. This distinction is critical to supporting the body's intrinsic biochemistry while avoiding unnecessary additives or artificial substances.
“All patients should be treated as the unique individuals they are. The body is an immensely complex organism; medicine should never be approached as one-size-fits-all.”
— Nathan D. Ford, MD
Why Hormone Balance Matters at Every Age
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate a vast range of bodily functions—including metabolism, reproduction, energy, mood, sleep, immune response, and cognitive function. While most commonly associated with menopause, hormonal imbalances can affect women of all ages due to factors such as:
Chronic stress
Birth control or hormonal medications
Surgical menopause (e.g., hysterectomy)
Autoimmune or thyroid disorders
Perimenopause or early menopause
Environmental toxins or lifestyle triggers
Symptoms of hormone imbalance may include:
Fatigue and low energy
Mood swings, depression, or anxiety
Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
Weight gain or resistance to weight loss
Low libido or sexual dysfunction
Irregular or heavy periods
Brain fog or forgetfulness
Hair thinning or dry skin
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Decreased muscle mass and bone density
Patients who have been assessed by the doctor and who have been deemed eligible for BHRT, Dr. Ford addresses these symptoms by restoring hormonal harmony in the most natural and precise way possible.
Dr. Ford’s Approach to BHRT
With over a decade of experience in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, Dr. Ford has seamlessly integrated hormone optimization into general practice. His affiliation with the American Academy for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (A4M)—where he also serves as a faculty member and lecturer—reflects his leadership in this field. Dr. Ford has trained fellow physicians nationwide on the critical role hormones play in female health and the need to move beyond symptom-based medicine.
Comprehensive, Individualized Care
Each patient begins with comprehensive lab work and a detailed medical intake. Dr. Ford uses these insights to design a personalized treatment plan aimed at correcting the root causes of hormonal imbalance—not just masking symptoms.
Education as a Pillar of Care
Dr. Ford believes that an informed patient is an empowered patient. Education is a vital part of his care model, equipping patients to make confident, long-term decisions about their health.
Benefits of BHRT for Women
Women who undergo BHRT often report improvements in:
Energy and vitality
Mood stability and emotional balance
Cognitive clarity
Sleep quality
Libido and sexual health
Skin texture and hair strength
Muscle tone and bone density
Menstrual regularity and menopause symptoms
In many cases, these outcomes contribute to a better quality of life, disease prevention, and graceful aging.
Safety, Side Effects & Monitoring
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, mild side effects can occur, especially during the initial adjustment phase. These may include:
Breast tenderness
Bloating
Headaches
Skin breakouts
Mood fluctuations
Temporary weight gain
Most symptoms are temporary and resolve as the body adapts. However, any persistent or concerning effects should be communicated to our office promptly. Adjustments are a normal and expected part of treatment.
At Ford Wellness Center, patient-provider communication is paramount. Your feedback ensures that your therapy remains aligned with your needs and comfort at every step.
Whole-Body Wellness for Every Stage of Life
Dr. Ford’s philosophy emphasizes treating the whole woman—not just isolated symptoms. Whether you are navigating perimenopause, recovering from surgery, or simply want to reclaim your sense of well-being, BHRT may play a transformative role in your health journey!
