Bio-identical Hormone
Bio-identical hormone are compounds that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Derived from plant sources such as soy or yam, these hormones are often used in hormone replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances, particularly in menopause or andropause. Because they closely resemble the body’s own hormones, bio-identical hormones are believed to offer a more natural and personalized approach to hormone therapy, potentially reducing the risk of side effects.
How it Works:
Bio-identical hormones are compounds that closely mimic the molecular structure of hormones naturally produced in the human body. When introduced into the body through hormone replacement therapy, they bind to hormone receptors and exert effects similar to those of endogenous hormones. By restoring hormonal balance, bio-identical hormones can alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue, improving overall well-being.
What it Treats:
Bio-identical hormone therapy treats symptoms of menopause, andropause, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, hormone-related mood disorders, and supports bone health.
Treatment Benefits:
The treatment benefits of bio-identical hormone therapy include alleviation of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings, improvement in libido and sexual function, relief from symptoms of andropause in men, regulation of hormonal imbalances, support for thyroid function, reduction in symptoms of adrenal fatigue, improvement in mood disorders, and maintenance of bone health to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Bio-identical Hormone FAQ's
What is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT is a personalized treatment that uses hormones derived from natural plant sources structured identically to those produced by your body to restore hormonal balance and improve overall well-being.
What symptoms can BHRT help with?
BHRT can relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, mood swings, low libido, brain fog, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and weight gain common during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause.
How is BHRT different from synthetic hormone therapy?
Bio-identical hormones are molecularly identical to the body’s natural hormones, which may offer improved compatibility and fewer side effects compared to synthetic options.
What types of hormones are used in BHRT?
Common hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, customized based on your lab results and symptoms to create a treatment plan that’s uniquely yours.
How is BHRT administered?
When will I start feeling results?
Most clients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within 2–4 weeks, with full benefits typically developing over 2–3 months.
Is BHRT safe?
Yes, when carefully prescribed and monitored by trained professionals. At 4EvaGlow, your treatment is guided by lab work and ongoing assessments to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.
