Hormones play a vital role in nearly every function of the body, from metabolism and mood to sleep and reproductive health. But as we age, hormone levels naturally decline or become imbalanced, leading to symptoms that can disrupt daily life. That’s where bio-identical hormones come in.
At Debbie’s Family Pharmacy, we specialize in bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT)—helping patients restore balance and feel their best. Our expert pharmacists use a science-based approach, ensuring that each patient gets a personalized plan tailored to their unique hormone needs.
What Are Bio-Identical Hormones?
The term "bio-identical" means that the hormones are chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by your body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which may have slight structural differences, bio-identical hormones are designed to mimic your body’s natural hormones and function in the same way.
These hormones are derived from plant-based sources, such as wild yams and soy, which contain natural precursors that are transformed into identical copies of human hormones. The result? A more natural and personalized approach to hormone therapy.
Types of Bio-Identical Hormones
There are several key hormones involved in balancing the body’s natural rhythms and functions:
🌸 Estriol & Estradiol (Estrogens)
Estriol (E3) – The gentlest form of estrogen, often used for vaginal dryness, urinary health, and skin health
Estradiol (E2) – The most potent estrogen, crucial for bone density, skin health, and mood regulation.
Balanced estrogen levels support heart health, cognition, and reproductive function.
🌿 Progesterone
Works alongside estrogen to regulate menstrual cycles, support sleep, and stabilize mood
Helps counteract the effects of too much estrogen (estrogen dominance), reducing symptoms like bloating, anxiety, and protects the endometrial lining
🔥 Testosterone
Often thought of as a male hormone, but women need testosterone too!
Supports energy, libido, muscle strength, motivation, and bone health
Levels decline with age, leading to fatigue and decreased drive.
💪 DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
A precursor to both estrogen and testosterone, supporting energy, mental clarity, and immune function.
Low levels can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, and poor stress response.
🧠 Pregnenolone
Known as the “mother hormone” because it helps produce other hormones like DHEA, progesterone, and cortisol.
Supports memory, cognition, and stress response.
Why Is Hormone Balance So Important?
When hormone levels drop or become imbalanced, you may experience symptoms such as:
🔥 Hot flashes & night sweats
😣 Irritability & mood swings
📉 Decreased libido
⚖️ Unexplained weight gain
💤 Sleep disturbances
🧠 Brain fog & trouble concentrating
These symptoms don't have to be “part of getting older” — they could be signs that your body needs support. Properly balanced hormones help maintain energy, mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall vitality.
